C++ TOO LARGE
Attempted this using my home made PPM drawing library. It's technically scalable, but I'm limited by my recursive fill function because it's unreliable and likes to segfault, I think it's using up too much memory, so I won't actually let the user set the scale. The image is irregular because the coordinates I entered for each corner of the bars are slightly off.
I set it up to start with a black background, then put a white circle in the middle, then red and blue circles in that. Used recursive fills to add the rest of red and blue. Then drew rectangles with white lines to mark the black bars. Split the black background into 4 sections with white lines and used 4 recursive fills to make each section white. Doing it in 1 pass would have caused a segfault. It's still very slow to render.
Ungolfed main code ( the rest of the library is too large, golfing this doesn't matter )

Interestingly, the Korean flag contains an early form of the binary number system (http://britton.disted.camosun.bc.ca/jbbinflag.htm)
– britishtea – 2014-10-20T19:12:16.073Do we have to draw the border when we are using an HTML page bigger than the flag, being white there is no separation visible even if the canvas/element size is similar to the flag – Optimizer – 2014-10-20T21:22:32.233
@Optimizer, no, if the canvas is bounded in a way that can somehow be made visible (e.g. by the highlighting of your browser's "inspect element"), then you don't need a boundary. The black border should only be drawn in the rare case where the extent of the canvas cannot technically be defined. – Martin Ender – 2014-10-20T22:15:07.127
