| The blue stripes stand for
the people's desire for peace, the red one symbolizes the revolutionary
spirit of the struggle for socialism, and white (a traditional
Korean color) represents the purity of the ideals of (North)
Korea and national sovereignty. The five-pointed star signifies
the happy prospects of the people building socialism under the
leadership of the Korean Worker's Party. The white disc suggests
the yin and yang symbol ("t'aeguk" in Korean) in the
flag of the Republic of Korea. |
