Enlisted

Private		When South Korea's national defense guard was founded, enlisted ranks were divided in to private and private first class. These terms have been used ever since.
Private First Class
Corporal/ Specialist		In 1962, enlisted ranks were divided into four, and those who were in upper rank of the enlisted were called corporal
Sergeant		The term sergeant was used to signify the head of enlisted ranks

In 1996, Non-commissioned officers' insignia was revised from the past insignia on which their insignia was marked on top of that of the enlisted soldiers causing it to look too big. So to arouse their pride and to make it look like the insignia of the officers, they added the Mugunghwa sign underneath their insignia.
