The perfect harmony between nature and man.

The forest represents the rich diversity of nature and the exuberance of life, the characters represent the interaction and happiness between humans and nature, and the cow symbolizes hard work, simplicity and strength. The elements together form a picture that expresses the Korean nation's yearning and pursuit of the harmonious coexistence of nature and man.
