The Origin Of Hangul Day

King Sejong created hangul in order to promote the spread of knowledge regardless of social class. Since 1928, the Korean government has been grateful for King Sejong and the hard-won hangul scriptures, and designated October 9 of each year as the Hangul Day, one of the five national holidays.

The Hangul system was developed by Sejong, fourth king of the Chosŏn dynasty, in 1443 to improve literacy. In 1446 Hangul was made the official writing system of Korea. Despite this, Hanja (Chinese characters) persisted as the main writing system of the elite class for 500 more years.

Let’s use the word “hangul” as an example. In Korean, it’s written as 한글. The first syllable 한 is spelled using the consonant ㅎ + the vowel ㅏ + the consonant ㄴ. The second syllable is spelled: consonant ㄱ + vowel ㅡ + consonant ㄹ.

In Korea, National Liberation Day is called 광복절 (gwangbokjeol), which literally means “the restoration of light.” The holiday celebrated the end of a dark time in Korean history when the Japanese occupied the entire Korean peninsula. It’s a holiday with a very inspiring history, and we’ll tell you all about it!

Hangul, the Korean alphabet, is easy to learn.

Compared to the Japanese and Chinese writing systems, Hangul is infinitely manageable and straightforward. … As a result, only a few well-educated scholars were able to participate in putting the Korean national narrative in written form.

Actually, there are no F or V sounds in Korean. In fact, there’s no difference between P and F or B and V. Therefore, the P and F sounds are both pronounced as ㅍ[pieup] and B and V as ㅂ[bieup].

ㄹ sounds like l. ㅁ sounds like m. ㅂ sounds like b. ㅅ sounds like s.
