Purple bordered roundel of red over blue divided wavy fimbriated white set over a purple bordered white-red-white horizontal stripe.

The Han Guk Gong Gun was formed in 1948. Homepage at http://www.airforce.mil.kr/

An American style roundel was adopted in 1950. The Yin-Yang in red-blue (with white separation) with white bars bordered blue and red central stripe.

Military Aircraft Insignia of the World and B.C Wheeler: Aircraft Markings (1986) and FOTW show the Yin-Yang as bordered in blue, but it seems that it was white sometime in the past (maybe just a variant?). See http://www.airliners.net/open.file/310297/L/

Following the American footsteps, a low visibility roundel was adopted as seen at http://homepage.eircom.net/~steven/images/3_2.jpg

The naval air arm uses the same roundel but with white border for the Yin-Yang
