- Aegukga is also the name of the national anthem of South Korea. See Aegukga.
Aegukka is the national anthem of North Korea. It is also known by the first phrase of the song Ach'imŭn pinnara or "Let Morning Shine."
Before the foundation of North Korea, northern part of Korea initially had as its anthem the same song as South Korea[citation needed], but North Korea adopted this newly-written piece in 1947. The words were written by Pak Seyŏng (박세영; 朴世永; 1902–1989) and the music was composed by Kim Wŏn'gyun (김원균; 金元均; 1917–2002).
