About Hangul

Interpretation
Well, why did he invent Hangul? Let's find out! There weren't unique Korean letters at that time and Chinese characters known as 'Hanja(한자/漢字)' were usedby the intellectuls of the country. But many common people had a lot of difficulties expressing their thoughts and feelings using Chinese characters. King Sejong always deeply regretted the fact that they were not able to read and write in Chinese letters. Therefore he decided to create his own letters to learn easily for all people. He was a great king who loved his people. He also had a scientific mind and the spirit of an investigator.
