Anthem of South Korea (1987-Present) 애국가‎ || Sixth Republic of South Korea (Shorter Version)

"Aegukga" (Korean: 애국가; Hanja: 愛國歌; pronounced [ɛːɡuk͈ːa]; lit. '"Patriotic Song"'), often translated as "The Patriotic Song", is the national anthem of Republic of Korea. It was adopted in 1948, the year the country was founded. Its music was composed in the 1930s and arranged most recently in 2018; its lyrics date back to the 1890s. The lyrics of "Aegukga" were originally set to the music of the Scottish song "Auld Lang Syne" before Ahn Eak-tai composed a unique melody specifically for it in 1936. Before the founding of South Korea, the song's lyrics, set to the music of "Auld Lang Syne", was sung, as well as during Korea under Japanese rule by dissidents. The version set to the melody composed by Ahn Eak-tai was adopted as the national anthem of the Korean exile government, which existed during Korea's occupation by Japan from the early 1910s to the mid-1940s.
"Aegukga" has four verses, but on most occasions only the first one, followed by the chorus, is sung when performed publicly at events such as baseball games and football matches.
Lyrics
English
Until the East Sea's waves are dry, Mt. Baekdu worn away,
God watch o'er our land forever, our Korea manse.
Rose of Sharon, thousand miles of range and river land;
Guarded by her people, ever may Korea stand.
Korean:
동해 물과 백두산이 마르고 닳도록,
하느님이 보우하사 우리나라 만세.
무궁화 삼천리 화려 강산,
대한 사람, 대한으로 길이 보전하세.
