- The colors of blue and red, the two theme colors of the Korean national flag, Taeguk' ki, symbolizes the goal of the Winter Universiade '97-bringing harmony among university students from every corner of the globe through a sports festival.
- The red circle at the upper right corner of the emblem is the symbol and dream of youth for a brighter and more peaceful future.
