Aegukga is also the name of the national anthem of North Korea, although it is romanized differently. See Aegukka.
Aegukga is also the name of the national anthem of Korean Empire, See Korean Empire Aegukga.

Aegukga is the national anthem of South Korea. The title literally means "The Song of Love for the Country," or "The Patriotic Song."

It is believed that the lyrics were written for the cornerstone-laying ceremony of the Independence Gate in Seoul in 1896 by Yun Chiho, a politician, or by An Chang-ho, a pro-independence leader and educator.[1] Initially, Aegukga was sung to the tune of the Scottish folk song "Auld Lang Syne", introduced to Korea by Western missionaries. The Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea (1919–1945) in Shanghai, China, adopted it as their national anthem. At a ceremony celebrating the founding of South Korea on 15 August 1948, the Scottish tune was finally replaced by the Finale of Korea Fantasia that Ahn Eak-tae had composed in 1935. The new "Aegukga" was later adopted by the Presidential Decree of 1948 by then-President Syngman Rhee (or Lee Seungman).

Lyrics

  Hangul Hangul and hanja Revised Romanization English translation
1 동해 물과 백두산이 마르고 닳도록
하느님이 보우하사 우리나라 만세
東海 물과 白頭山이 마르고 닳도록
하느님이 保佑하사 우리나라 萬歲
Donghae mulgwa Baekdusani mareugo daldorok
Haneunimi bouhasa urinara manse
Until that day when
Mt. Baekdu's worn away
and the East Sea's waters run dry,
God (sky) protect and preserve our country!
Refrain 무궁화 삼천리 화려 강산
대한 사람 대한으로 길이 보전하세
無窮花 三千里 華麗 江山
大韓 사람 大韓으로 길이 保全하세
Mugunghwa samcheolli hwaryeo gangsan
Daehan saram daehaneuro giri bojeonhase
Roses of Sharon and Three thousand Li
of splendid rivers and mountains full;
Great Korean people, To the Great Korean way
stay always true!
2 남산 위에 저 소나무 철갑을 두른 듯
바람서리 불변함은 우리 기상일세
南山 위에 저 소나무 鐵甲을 두른 듯
바람서리 不變함은 우리 氣像일세
Namsan wie jeo sonamu cheolgabeul dureun deut
Baram seori bulbyeonhameun uri gisangilse
As the pine atop Namsan Peak stands firm,
unchanged through wind and frost,
as if wrapped in armour,

so shall our resilient spirit.
Refrain
3 가을 하늘 공활한데 높고 구름 없이
밝은 달은 우리 가슴 일편단심일세
가을 하늘 空豁한데 높고 구름 없이
밝은 달은 우리 가슴 一片丹心일세
Gaeul haneul gonghwalhande nopgo gureum eopsi
Balgeun dareun uri gaseum ilpyeondansimilse
The Autumn skies are void and vast,
high and cloudless;
the bright moon is our heart,
undivided and true.
Refrain
4 이 기상과 이 맘으로 충성을 다하여
괴로우나 즐거우나 나라 사랑하세
이 氣像과 이 맘으로 忠誠을 다하여
괴로우나 즐거우나 나라 사랑하세
I gisanggwa i mameuro chungseongeul dahayeo
Goerouna jeulgeouna nara saranghase
With this spirit and this mind,
let us give all loyalty,
in suffering or in joy,
to the country's love.
Refrain
