The first version from top is depicted in the 1882 U.S. Navy book Flags of Maritime Nations. The third version from the top is a replica of the one given by emperor Gojong to American diplomat Owen N. Denny (1838–1900), who served as his advisor. The second version from the bottom is depicted in the 1899 U.S. Navy book Flags of Maritime Nations. Lowest is the version found in the 1944 United States postage stamp series.

The former Korean imperial flag had a different taegeuk from that in the current South Korean flag. Note that the 1882 U.S. Navy depiction may be left-right reversed. The arrangement of the trigrams was not officially fixed until an ordinance of 1949, when the South Korean government issued the construction.
