Aegukga


The South Korea National Anthem, also known as "Aegukga," is typically performed in the key of F major. Composed by Ahn Eak-tai, the anthem's lyrics were written by Yun Sim-deok. One interesting fact is that "Aegukga" was adopted as the official national anthem of South Korea in 1948, following the establishment of the Republic of Korea. The melody features a solemn and patriotic composition, with stirring orchestration and powerful vocal lines, symbolizing the pride and unity of the South Korean people.
