"Aegukga" (Korean pronunciation: [ɛːɡukk͈a]; English: "Patriotic Song") is the national anthem of South Korea. It was written around 1896. The exact origins are unknown, but the current official version was established in August 15, 1948.


The Encyclopedia of Korean Culture defines "Aegukga" as "the song to wake up the mind to love the country". "Aegukga" in itself is differentiated from a national anthem. While a national anthem is the official symbol of the country, Aegukga refers to any song, official or unofficial, that contains love towards its country. However, the nationally designated "Aegukga" plays the role of symbolizing the country. In general, the term Aegukga refers to the national anthem of South Korea. Nevertheless, there are still more than ten types of still existing "Aegukgas" in South Korea.


Lyrics:

Until that day when Mt. Baekdu is worn away and the East Sea's waters run dry, God protect and preserve our country!

Hibiscus and three thousand ri full of splendid mountains and rivers; Koreans, to the Korean way, stay always true!


As the pine atop Namsan Peak stands firm, unchanged through wind and frost, as if wrapped in armour, so shall our resilient spirit.

The Autumn skies are void and vast, high and cloudless; the bright moon is like our heart, undivided and true.


Refrain


With this spirit and this mind, let us give all loyalty, in suffering or in joy, to the country's love.
