  • @djdeimos1 Yes, it is the anthem of the Korean Empire (1897-1910).

  • 這憂傷的曲調正表明了大韓帝國短暫而悲慘的歷史,短短十三年的國­祚,一個可悲的國家。

  • I LOVE KOREA o.O°°°°

  • is this the original korean version or the japanese revision?

  • i don't know why i put it here lol

  • I am from HongKong. As you know that Chinese also have eaten the dog meat. So we think it is not fair. Because Many westen people and Japanese eat some strange food. Actually i never ever eat these meats but i agree to eat these. here is not North Korea. Everyone has the free to choose their food even if Dog. Just take care yourself

  • 1. 'Till water of East Sea and Mt. Baekdu dries and wears off, long live our nation as God protects us

    Refrain. Three thousand li's(1200km) of Mugungwha(rose of Sharon), a magnificent land

    Come the Great Hans(Koreans) to Korea and conserve it for evermore.

    2. That red pine over the Southern Mountain is as clad in iron Unchanging over wind and frost, is as our spirit

  • @kleeo83 that is modern Korean Aegukga, not the Imprial one. The melody and the lyrics are completely different. Thanks anyway

  • 3. The Autumn sky is vast; high and without cloud bright moon is our heart, ever unchanging.

    4. With this spirit and heart devote all our faith regardless of being in pain or in happiness let's love our nation.

  • I think this one is slightly better than the original version. yet anyway, I love korean anthem.

  • Japan still even now wants to hide real history.

    but your empire family is Korean.

  • Japanese Empire familly also actullay from Korean Empire.

    They are Korean. That's why They wanna beat Korea

  • Can't believe that DPRK is actually using South Korean national anthem.

  • @ElevationLowJJ urr.. in fact she doesn't. the North has a different and quite stalinist-style song. But it is true that the anthems of both Koreas have same title - Aegukga = which means 'patriotic hymn'. You can check here in Youtube and you'll see how different they are.

  • this is my first time to hear such beautiful royal anthem! Favourited.

    Greeting from Australia!

  • This anthem's melody is so good...

  • 쪽빠리들 여기서도 지룰떠는구나..

  • The Korean Empire wasn't even a real empire, it was more like a state set up by Japan.

  • Everyone who criticises Koreans and other Asians for consuming wild dogs should get off their moral high ground. Animals are animals and will always be just animals. Provided they are killed humanely, there is nothing wrong with consuming animals.

    And a note to Koreans, who cares if you eat dogs? What's the difference between dogs and cows and pigs? Nothing.

  • 啊

  • you idiot dog eaters are not the Koreans, the Chinese eat dogs cats and babys. The Koreans can be good cook and teak wan do, they are number 1

  • stirs11 = F u chinky your is dog!!

    China:slaves of

    (Dongy peoples)(Khitan peoples)(Manchu peoples)(Xianbei peoples)(Di people)(Qiang people)(Xionites people)(Xiongnu peoples)(Jie people)(Jurchens peoples)(Mongols peoples)(Hun peoples)(Gokturks peoples)(Hmong peoples)(France)(United Kingdom)(Spain)(Portugal)(Russ­ia)(Japanese...... ..Xianbei .nomad were slaves of nomad and Japan throughout the history . 2000years slaves

  • fuck those cow-eaters too!

  • Hey my parents own a dog meat restaurant which my grandparents had started back in the 50's. My parents have a pride in the tradition and I also feel very proud too. The dogs we use in our restaurant is not a pet dog like poodles but in fact a special breed of dog just for consumption.

  • Please do not care about that 'korikhan'. that bastard is a Hwanpa, a member of insane and radical nationalist gay club. They insist that Korea once conquered whole manchuria(which is a fxxking lie) and some of them even claims that Korea is somehow related with Sumer(so funny, haha)! They take less than 1 percent of whole korean population, so just ignore him.

  • why people think all koreans eat dogs?

    i'm koeran, but i didn't ate dogs!

    only few manias eat the dogs!

  • 개고기 함 드셔보세요. 쫀득쫀득한게 진짜 맛있어요.

  • My cousin said it tasted like shit.

  • So why don't you just stfu before saying shit like that.

  • I'm Korean, and I never ate a dog.

  • Understand? The word 王 was king of kings in Korea, even before the words which means emperor didn't appear in Japan and China.

  • And you're wrong. the words 皇 and 帝 are originally related to god. those words were originally related to emperor. Please study about history before talking about it with others.

  • Korean king was king of kings(emperor) especially in ancient time. That's why Korean dynasties had its kings and vassals. And the history of the title wang(王, king of kings) has much longer history than any other titles of emperor.

  • The first emperor first appeared in the 3rd century BC in the Chinese territory and at least the 7th century AD in Japanese but Korean had already had their emperors long long time ago. Korean emperors called Hwanwoon who comes from Hwanguk(Hwanna) and Tangun who comes from Asadal.

    Furthermore, the first emperor in the Chinese territory is related to western strangers(西戎) who lived in the west of China and the royal family in the Japanese territory is closely related to Korean.

  • You know Japanese history appeared in the Japanese archipelago when millions of Yayoi Korean started migrating into the islands from Korea and they founded Yamato dynasty(倭奴) there.

    Later, Yamato Japan which was founded by Yayoi Korean belonged to Korean Baekje dynasty, the king of kings also sent his family member to the islands in order to rule there. I mean the feudal lord(king) of Yamato Japan(倭王) was one of the kings of Baekje dynasty.

  • in all period, korean king's status was 王.

    in seven-years-war, chinese emperor sent military aid to korea because they were vassal of china.

  • Wang(王) means king and also means king of kings(empire) in ancient history. Actually it literally means the great man(a kind of shaman) who connect the gods of heaven and and earth. Therefore, your comment that is 王 is highest status of emperor's feudal lord in East Asian society is totally wrong. Indeed, the history of the words 皇帝(Chinese king) and 天皇(Japanese king) is not as long as Wang(王).

  • no. that's fact.

    only 皇 is status of absoulute sovereign.

    王, 公 and etcs are status of feudal lord in chinese world(中華圈), korea was model follower of chinese culture, so they were member.

    China sets one emperor policy, so korea can't got emperor, because they had no power for against china.

    Qing's sovereign are manchurian, but geographically, that state based on Chinese continent, so it also can be chinese dynasty.

  • if korea was not vassal of china, why they got 冊封 by chinese emperor and tributed to china?

    王 is highest status of emperor's feudal lord in east asian society and Korea's leader's status was 王 which appointmented by chinese emperor.

  • At that time there was no Chinese country in the world. China was conquered by Manchus in 1644 AD and had been ruled by them for hundreds of years. Therefore, there were only Korean Joseon and Manchus Jushen(Cheong, Qing) dynasties in the Northeast Asian continent. So your comment that is Korea was originally China's vassla is just wrong.

  • 그러면서 한국이 국제경기 하면 목놓아 응원하는 더러운 자식,

  • 힘이 약한 시절, 열강들의 침탈은 심화되고 내부에는 간신배들만 있었던 대한제국.....

    대외적으로나 대내적으로나 국력이 약하고 지들이권챙겨먹을려고 나라팔아먹는 관료들만 있었고.. 대한민국은 민중들이 이끌어낸거다!

  • Manchus Aisin Clan came from Jurchens Kim dynasty, and Jurchens Kim dynasty was derived from Korean Silla dynasty. Not only historically but even genetically Manchus were just Korean before they split off from motherland Korea. Manchus are closer to Korean than any other ethnic groups even today based on the studies about Y-DNA haplogroups.

  • Korea was never invaded they were some small incursions but they were pushed back

    I agree Korea was a vassal kingdom to China but after the Japnese invasion they broke up that fact and Korea became the Korea EMPIRE.

  • All you people claiming things on history remember to cite what you are saying.

    They're nothing but meaningless nationalist or anti-nationalist claims if they are not properly cited.

  • Why do all national anthem suck - except for France...

  • 이거 부를려면 가창력 필요함

  • 제국이라는 국명은 국가의 권위를 높이는것을 위해서 쓴겁니다. 애초에 그렇게 생각하시면 대한민국에 대라는 글자도 싫으신듯 한데, 뭐가 그렇게 불만입니까,

    제국이라는게 굳이 땅덩이리가 넓어야 하는겁니까? 안그래도 생각만해도 눈물나는 역사인데, 그 긴 역사만으로도 제국이라고 할 수있는거죠

  • is / have they there an imperial monachy in that particular place? hey! wake up, for truth (i mean stop claiming over and over) cuz it's just shame.... & it's not alike n somewhere who runs monarchy at this particular world and it takes time to be process to change yo

    ur leadership, then i believe 4 yet ok?

  • This is the Japanese version. not literly it is sung in Korean but this one was modified after Kimi Ga Yo. The original anthem was about independence and not the emperor.

  • I don't think this was the japanese version. It was composed by a German F. Eckert. It wasn't unusual for Asian countries around that time to try & modernise by hiring foreign advisors from England, France, Germany, US, etc.

  • god u just want some attention dont u

    stop spoiling the youtube with yourself masturbating on internet.

    good4u keyboardwarrior.

  • I heard that all the royal family members of the last korean dynasty were raped and ass-fucked by Japanese soldiers. Is that ture? How rude Japanese mobs were!

  • Comment removed

  • You'r wrong!!~~~I'm from Anhui province,it's 139,600 square kilometers .But ROK is only 99,000 square kilometers.Many provinces you said is bigger than ROK. If you don't count in PRK.After all you're two countries.

  • Comment removed

  • Hey Korean! why you don't type ur ugly Koran Character. Korean Character is most ugly in the world.

  • Imperial? Holly shit. How can such a tiny country call itself imperial? Are you brainwashed by your government? The size of South Korea is smaller than any province in China, so if you want to find South Korea on the world map, remember to use magnifier.

  • Comment removed

  • Hey, jackass.Are you sure Korea is as big as UK? LOL, nice bullshit! I can't make any comment for this funny statement. I will copy this part to my blog, haha.

  • That means you can't find the UK and anything smaller than that.

  • Are you from the China that uses its soldiers as temporary repairing materials of dike? Good for you. I hope you end your life next to dike! ^^

  • Korea is larger than these Chinese provinces: Jilin, Liaoning, Hainan, Shandong, Zhejiang, Fujian, Hebei, Guizho, Shaanxi, Henan, Hainan, Hubei, Anhui, Shanxi, Guangdong, Jiangsu, and probably more. Korea is larger than most of your provinces. If you mean just the south, it is still larger than your smallest province, which is your biggest island.

  • hmmm I never heard this before why is that...

  • this is very very good!

  • The founding place of Koguryo is on or near the modern-day Manchu-Korean border. It used to bee part of Korea, until the Chinese took it while having war with Koguryo.

  • if Goguryo isnt korean then korea isnt korea... Goguryo was the first nation in the north of the peninsular.. the princes moved south to raise the kingdom of baekjae and shilla... these 3 kingdoms waged war and in the end shilla taking over... then the king was assasinated it became koryo then choson..

  • pt2

    ..korea crumbled when the three kingdom war raged and is the peninsular today..as for japan it took them over a centurary of numerous invasions to invade korea and in the end had to use cheap assasination..no country has stood greater than korea with its 5000+ yr history

  • pt1

    you know goguryo's territory extended into half of china to the great wall..many of the forts and graves of kings is still in china even though china does not admit.. korea was a very strong nation repelling attacks from the west east south and north by Chinses,mongols,japanese for centuries

  • Goguryo's last capital was Phengyang... also u Chinese proved that statement, before Hujitao's action was on the move

  • limetree, you are stupid. People in North Korea do speak and write in Korean.

  • ppl like u with red communism knowlogy make me sick. Korea always had different sound than chinese thats why king sejong created hanguel eventhough death threat came from chinese myung dynasty..something u guys couldn't do for everyone in ur country that time."^^ does ppl in koguryo speak or write in korean" wonder whatmore idiotic questions gonna come out of ur mouth don't care don't wanna know.I said nicely remember? trying to be smartass like that gees. FUK my worker ordered chinese food -_-

  • before u being sarcastic...u should answer my question first...just because communism says this shit is right shit its NONO. u should know better about the blood of ur peasant comrade secrifice to desroy HISTORY OF UR OWN. cultural revolution u know what that is? "destroy history HISTORY and make "RED" the start point of chinese history..please if u want the truth stop asking me questions with sarcastic way. before u do that study hard and strait out ur history first.

  • As big as you can walk through the big country in a "one-day tour"^^

  • what do u know about Koguryo Empire? NOTHING!

    what do you know about Corea? NOTHING!

    I dont care about u but u talk like highschool dropout to me. DROPOUT HA! feel sry for ur ass MOFO. Oh small country i agree with u on that one. shithole country study more to leave comments U IDIOT!

  • korean Anthem is made by japanese, all things in korea are made by japan.

    They have NOTHIG!

  • japan copied everything too.. i see no inventions... same thing.. just shut up...

  • - History of Korea -

    Joseon(OLD) Imeprial (BC 2333 ~ BC 108)

    Koguryo Imperial (BC 37 ~ AD 668)

    Baekje Imperial (BC 18 ~ AD 660)

    Shinra Dynasty (BC 57 ~ AD 935)

    Balhae Dynasty (AD 698 ~ AD 926)

    Koryo Dynasty (AD 918 ~ AD 1392)

    Joseon Dynasty(Korean Imperial) (AD 1392 ~ AD 1910)

  • Any prove? Nobody in the world has a brain would agree with that. BTW. Dare any korea call his country imperial in front of super power the U.S and China? Not even your own president, punk. The only one empire can call imperial is China. The dynasty you listed above never exited except you and your extreme patriotism "historians"' imagination. Do you need to wake up or accept the devastating ending.

  • Koryo(koree,korea) Dynasty (918) -> Joseon Dynasty (1392)

  • LOL. Korean Empire? It's by far the jokest empire ever.

    1) They finally won independence thanks to Japan's victory over Sino-Japanese war (As you know, Koreans are always dominated by Chinese)

    2) After enjoying their first independence for only 10 years or so, they became a slave state of Japanese Empire

  • Komorowski, Korean history is 3000 years old. Korea was never part of China, it was just forced to pay tribute for only about a hundred years or so and the only time it was conquered was during the Mongol Empire (not annexed) and when Japan took over. Korea used to always beat China in battles during the time of Koguryo.

  • I mean 5000 years old.

  • if the Koreans had beaten China in battles constantly. Then China should have had paid the "Great" korea dynasty tribute rather then the reality the other way around. So You guys 5000 years history. For real? The Chinese have the Fucking great wall and what do you guys have? The little gate in Seoul? It was the Tang dynasty defeat the Koguryo kingdom.  Those people were my people, the manchu Jurchen's ancestors. Not the Chosan Koreans.

  • it was just forced to pay tribute for only about a hundred years or so

    =============

    What I remember is that they pay tribute to China (both Ming and Qing) from about 1400 A.D. to 1895 A.D., which is MUCH LONGER than 100 years. Seeking for independence and power doesn't mean that you have to change your history books.

  • I live in America. The Koreans don't change their textbooks. I was just guessing about the tribute thing.

  • Baek du san are yours?????????????

    If Maozedong didn't give half of it to Kim il song, there won't be any stupid issue like that today. At least I object his personal behavior.

  • There are always retard like this person.

    Idiot, North Korea handed over part of the mountain to China; and now China is claiming more and more part of the mountain. Learn the fact straight from the truth.

  • Maybe truth should be redefined as anything claimed by Koreans, as you can say the truth that ppl from gwangju are the most welcomed ones in Korea.^^

  • I hope you understand that such things like "Korean claim everything is from Korea" are mostly made by Chinese netizens in China for propaganda purpose.

  • Of course I wouldn't say "Koreans claim everything as Korean" but my impression is that Koreans claim sth, which I think aren't Korean, as Korean stuff. Please note that not only Chinese think so.

  • So you believe that mountain isn't actually Korean claim?

    The mountain is considered as the foundation of ancient Korea (old Joseon), and has been "divine mountain" for centuries.

    Moreover, the Gando (search it :P) was part of Korea (Joseon) until Japanese illegally gave it away to China.

  • That mountain IS Korean claim.

    The mountain is considered as the foundation of ancient Korea (old Joseon), and has been "divine mountain" for centuries.

    ===

    That's what you koreans think. Even so, a place like "divine mountain" is not necessary for them to belong to Korea.

    About Gando, there are several different maps about 200 years ago; the most accurate ones didn't contain yanbian (yeonbyeon) as in Korea.

  • Anyways, every nation claims their interest. So, whatever XD

  • man ju, yo dong, sin eu ju, yeon hae ju .. they are all korean territory

  • man ju --- never Korean

    yo dong --- where is it?

    sin eui ju --- now belonging to NK

    yeon hae ju --- where is it?

  • i think

    man ju - manchuria

    yo dong - liaodong

    sin eui ju - NK city

    yeon hae ju - Primorsky kry

    Im Korean, and I must say we cant retain those lands back. they are not ours anymore.

  • Great Koguryo Empire(korean ancient empire) had man ju , yo dong , yeon hae ju

    Baekje Empire(korean ancient empire) had yo seo , southern japan

    Joseon(korean last empire) had yeon hae ju

  • That's only what you think

  • shut up , monkey

  • ...u had thousands of years and yet we are still existing why?

  • What's your logic? We had thousands of years then you should not exist?^^

  • someone (probably) from china) said "Goguryo is china...." so...i was just thingking....

    35 NATIONS FELL AND RISEN IN CHINA WHEN GREAT GOGURYO STILL STOOD TO WATCH THEM ALL RISE AND CRUMBLE...SO WHICH COUNTRY AMONG THEM DID GREAT GOGURYO EMPIRE BELONGS TO...??? The point is we don't want those lands back but at least preserve it..? why u have to destroy and make it as urs? u guys for thousands of years how many nations were there? respect on that! so respect others that's all!

  • man ju: was part of Korea in the early AD's

    yo dong: now in China

    sin eui ju: North Korea is Korea, dumbass

    yeon hae ju: now in Russia

  • man ju: was part of Korea in the early AD's

    ==

    In early A.D., pyeongyang belongs to Chinese Han dynasty.^^Keep on dreaming, dumbass

  • In 476 A.D. Koguryo had Southern Manchuria and the southern Russian Maritime province. Limetree, you know nothing about history. The only thing you will ever be known for is a hardcore racist. You know nothing about Korea! What did Korea ever do to you? Probably nothing. You are a nationalist and racist. Limetree you are a liar and and you suck.

  • I mean in Korea

  • Typical jap who doesn't know history. Korea was a sovereign state for thousands of years. Korea was never part of China. You say that Korea won independence from China thanks to Japan's victory in the Sino-Jap War? WOW. You have stretched the ridiculousness of Jap interpretation of history to a new low.

  • How long did Imperial Korea exist in history? Someone should educate me!

  • 1897-1910, until annexation by the Empire of Japan.

  • It was short time after Joseon and before the Japanese annexation. Right before Japan took over Korea, Korea became Korean Empire which was a mock empire and taken by Japan in 1910

  • Joseon Dynasty (1392) -> Korean Imperial (1897)

  • This guy must have lost his/her mind.

  • inferior japanese always love koreans stuff.

    japs are ugly, shortm flat nosed flat faced and are very stupid.

  • 이 새끼는 한국사람도 아닌게 깝쳐. 짱깨아니면 왜놈이다.

  • Miraflorino1, that's a lie. Koreans would never claim they're Japanese. If Koreans are Chinese, then you are East African.

  • Wow. Incredibly stupid. He reached into his ass and pulled out these percentages.

  • Respect your SUPERIORS!!! koreans

    Long Live JAPAN!!.. we might be Asians but

    we are two diffrent Race!!!.

  • You know, I like Japan. I even think that we should givw you two of Kurils. I think that Takeshima sould belong to Japan. But please: shut up, you nationalistic son of a bitch!

  • Takeshima doesn't exist. Dokdo is ancient Korean land.

  • There are 6 islands called Takeshima: in Kagoshima, in Miyagi, in Aichi, in Yamaguchi, in Kumamoto and in Shimane. The last one is the disputed land.

  • Koguro Kingdom were found by the ancestors of Jurchen also known as Manchu at Later Jin Dynasty. They Conquered the Sinna( that was the real koreans) just like the Mongol did. Can you guys call your self the Mongols? So Don't mix up with the Koreans sina with the great manchu jurchen people. While you guys adopted the Chinese culture and Confucian system. THAT IS THE FACT KNOWN BY THE WHOLE WORLD. Can you deny that ? Unless you don't have a brain.

  • Beautiful. Thank you. But why is it shown the flag of South Korea, not the flag of the Korean Empire?

  • no, South korean flag from to the Korean Empire

  • They are not similar. See Wikipedia.

  • i love south korea : i am from peru ; this is beautiful

  • haha japan used to be nothing until they meet korea

  • 혹시 북한분들도 보고계실까요? 우리는 같은 민족입니다. 이렇게 분단되서는 안되는 한 가족입니다. 우리는 서로 서로를 주적으로 배우고 살아가고 있으나 그러나 변하지 않는 사실은 북과 남은 가족이며 이렇게 적으로 살고 있음이 마음 아플뿐입니다. 이렇게 우리가 갈라지게 만든것은 일본입니다. 그들의 침략이 아니였다면 우리가 분단되지도 않았을테지요... 우리가 가족임을 잊지 말아주세요. 한민족임을 잊지 말아주세요. 남북 대한민국, 우리 한민족 사랑합니다.

  • 미친놈아~진짜 유투브에 북한사람이 있을꺼같냐?? ㅉㅉㅉ 한심한 새끼야 가서 공부나 해라.

  • Esta mierda me pone a dormir!

  • porque estas oyendo si no te gustas?

  • simple, tenia.... ganas de dormir!

    :-)

  • pero dijiste mierda. esta palabra no esta bien. pues entonces...buenas noches.

  • 만약 대한제국이 건재했더라면.. 한국전쟁도 없었겟죠.. 분단 되지도 않았을 테구요..

  • Japan is the only country in the world still to have an emperor. Also, it's most likely the the originally-Korean bloodline that went about to become the Japanese imperial bloodline went extinct during its 1500-something-year history.

    Also has it ever occurred to you that you, me, japs, gooks and pretty much everyone in the easternmost edge of the Eurasian continent are actually Mongols? With your logic we should all bow down to Mongolia as they are somehow genetically superior.

  • i don't understand anything that you are trying to say, cause your grammar is so horrible. plus, i never said koreans are biologically superior to japs. i was making fun of japs who think they are superior to koreans. im really sorry you are not capable of understanding my comment.please go visit nearest SAT classes. they teach you logic and proper grammar.
