Celebrate Hangeul Day with two animated stories about King Sejong the Great and the creation of Hangeul, the Korean alphabet!

Long ago, reading and writing in Korea were difficult for ordinary people because Korean was written using Chinese characters. King Sejong wanted everyone—not just scholars and nobles—to be able to read, write, and express their thoughts.

After carefully studying the sounds of the Korean language, King Sejong created a new writing system that was simple, logical, and easy to learn. In 1446, Hunminjeongeum, the original name of Hangeul, was officially introduced to the people.

Watch these two stories and discover how King Sejong’s dedication to education and literacy led to one of Korea’s greatest cultural achievements.

Happy Hangeul Day!
