Who is King Sejong?
King Sejong the Great ruled Korea from 1418 to 1450 CE as the fourth king of the Joseon Dynasty. One of only two Korean kings called ‘the Great’ today, Sejong had a major impact on Korea. His greatest achievement was creating Hangul, the Korean alphabet, but his patronage of science, technology, literature, and medicine all had large impacts on Korea.
What is HanGul?
The Korean alphabet, known as Hangul in Korea is the modern official writing system for the Korean language. The letters for the five basic consonants reflect the shape of the speech organs used to pronounce them, and they are systematically modified to indicate phonetic features; similarly, the vowel letters are systematically modified for related sounds, making Hangul a featural writing system. It has been described as a “syllabic alphabet”, as it combines the features of alphabetic and syllabic writing systems.
Connecting Korea the rest of the world, Little Korean in foreign countries
The King Sejong Institute Foundation actively communicates with foreigners interested in Korean language and culture through various media. We're getting closer through online/offline courses and Korean cultural activities.
