    Creation of Hangeul, the new Korean alphabet

    Before the introduction of Hangul, Korea used Hanja (한자, Chinese characters) along with some random phonetic (sound-based) writing systems developed over the years. These systems did not mix well. This meant that only those with access to a high education could read and write. King Sejong invented a simple 28 letter alphabet so that people of all ages and classes were able to learn to read and write Korean in a matter of days!
