    Tricolored taegeuk

    Hand fan with a tricolored taegeuk design


    A variant in South Korea is the tricolored taegeuk (sam·saeg·ui tae·geuk 삼색의 태극
    or sam·tae·geuk 삼태극), which adds a yellow lobe or "pa" (Hanja: 巴 Hangul: 파).
    The yellow portion is taken as representing humanity, in addition to the red and
    blue representing earth and heaven, respectively.

    A rendition of the tricolored Taegeuk also appeared in the official logo of the
    1988 Summer Olympics accompanied by the five Olympic rings.[18]
