MANNAM! Do you know 한글(the Korean alphabet)?

Hangul(한글) (the Korean alphabet) is considered to be one of the most efficient alphabets in the world. It was created under King Sejong(세종) during the Joseon(조선) Dynasty (1393-1910).

Originally, the name of Hangul was called Hunmin chong-um(훈민정음), which meant "the correct sounds for the instruction of the people.


As to the King Sejong, he is thought to be one of the greatest rulers in the history of Korea for his benevolence, diligence and extensive knowledge in all fields of study.
