Seoul - Aug 5
Almost 100 years ago, Korean people wrote and used words Hanja. King Taejong had three son. His third son Chungnyeong, was king Sejong, who invented Hangul. He was born at may 7,1397.he loved to read when he was sad and tired. But his brothers didn’t and played. So king Taejong choosed Chungyeong for great prince.
When great prince Chungnyeong became king Sejong, he went out the castle to watch people. King Sejong hate punishing and killing. People usually got punished because they didn’t know how to read or couldn’t know what it means that is on Hanja. When king Sejong saw that, he thought that he should make easier words. Easier words that every one could know.
So, after he thought that he should make new words, he went to work. He made words as it sound. And that was Korean alphabet, Hangul. He made words called Hunminjeongum. Hi eyes were bad, and he was sick, but he finished making Hangul. After people learned Hangul, they knew what to write, and what was the story. At may 18, 1450 He died. Everyone became sad. Even he is dead, we won’t forget him.
