Hangeul was developed by King Sejong the Great. King Sejong was known as one of the greatest kings of the Joseon Dynasty and is recognized for his achievements. During this period, the country was able to develop itself as a nation throughout the development of the Korean language, agriculture, science and technology, medicine, music and law. It was King Sejong who led this progress. However, King Sejong does not receive acclamation solely due to his brilliant achievements and skills. He was also a wise king who loved his people. King Sejong was often gracious to his people, and made effort to improve the status and conditions of his people.
Before Hangeul was made, the elite borrowed Chinese characters as there were no characters in our language. However, the common people had difficulty learning the Chinese characters and were often treated unfairly. Saddened by this, King Sejong felt compassion for his people characters and decided to create easy for anyone to learn. This initiated a cultural expansion for the nation as everyone could learn a unique writing system designes specially for the Korean language.
I n 19 9 7, U N E S CO a c k n o w l e d g e d a n d l i s t e d t h e Hunminjeongeum Haerye (lit. “Explanations and Examples of the Proper Sounds for the Instruction of the People”) as a world heritage. We celebrate October 9 th^ as Hangeul day to commemorate its significance.
The consonants are based on the shape of the vocal organs. The throat, tongue, gums and teeth were used to form the shape, and this was to help remember the pronunciation. The principles were based on the first five consonants (ㄱ, ㄴ, ㅁ, ㅅ, ㅇ). The first sound ‘ㄱ’ refers to the shape of the root of the tongue blocking the throat. ‘ㄴ’ refers to the tongue stuck to the upper gums. ‘ㅁ’ refers to the shape of the lips, ‘ㅅ’ refers to the shape of a tooth, and ‘ㅇ’ refers to the shape of the throat.
The following are the names of the consonants. The pronunciation reflects the sound of the consonants when placed at the beginning or at the end.
By adding a stroke to these basic consonants, we can form letters with stronger pronunciation. Moreover, by adding the same letter, we can also create ‘ㄲ, ㄸ, ㅃ, ㅆ, ㅉ.’

Letters within Hangeul consists of the following form: ‘vowel’, ‘consonant + vowel’, ‘consonant + vowel
How to form letters examples vowel 아 consonant + vowel ㄱ^ + ㅏ^ →^ 가 consonant + vowel + consonant ㅎ + ㅏ + ㄴ → 한
When combining letters in Hangeul, the letters ‘ㅎ, ㅏ, ㄴ’ are not listed; rather, they are combined into the word ‘한’. Depending on the vowel, the position and the shape of the consonant changes. When the vowel is the vertical form as in ‘ㅣ’, the vowel is added on the right side of the consonant. The consonant base (받침) is placed under the ‘consonant + vowel’. On the other hand, when the vowel is the horizontal form as in ‘ㅡ’, the vowel is placed under the consonant and the base consonant is placed under the ‘consonant + vowel’.
Combine the consonant and vowel together to form a letter.
Even though the same ‘ㄱ’ is used, the form may change depending on the vowel that is combined together.
