The Blue House explained, "The 70th Anniversary Project Committee for the Korean War (co-chair Kim Eun-gi) created the Taegeukgi badge with a design symbolizing the moment when eyes fall upon the Taegeukgi draped over the remains of veterans during excavation, accompanied by a moment of silence, at the Kwangwoon University Public Communication Research Institute in May, to remind us not to forget the dedication of the Korean War fallen."

The Blue House added, "Through this campaign, we hope it becomes an opportunity for all citizens to feel the strong meaning of the nation’s unwavering responsibility for veterans, and that the symbol of the ‘Taegeukgi’ will become a ‘veterans’ symbol’ loved by the people across ideologies and generations, similar to the ‘Poppy’ symbol in Commonwealth countries.
