Jaegyum: Hyung! Did you read this blog post about King Sejong? It says he was a really great king.

Jaeyi: Yeah, I saw it. He invented Hangul, right? The Korean alphabet we use every day!

Jaegyum: Right! The blog says that before Hangul, people in Korea used Chinese characters. That must have been really difficult for ordinary people who couldn't learn Chinese.

Jaeyi: That's true. Only educated nobles could read and write easily. King Sejong cared about all his people, so he wanted everyone to be able to read and express themselves.

Jaegyum: Wow, that's so cool of him. The blog also mentions that the shapes of the Hangul letters are based on the shapes of our mouths and the sounds we make. Isn't that amazing?

Jaeyi: It is! It makes Hangul so scientific and easy to learn, even now. I remember learning the basic vowels – they really do look like the shape your mouth makes when you say them.

Jaegyum: And King Sejong didn't do it alone, right? The blog mentions he worked with many scholars in the Jiphyeonjeon.

Jaeyi: Exactly. It was a big project, and they put in a lot of effort to create a writing system that was perfect for the Korean language. King Sejong was a brilliant leader who gathered talented people to help him.

Jaegyum: It makes me feel really proud that we have such a great writing system thanks to King Sejong and his scholars.

Jaeyi: Me too! We should always remember his contribution to our culture and language.
