Hangul Day, celebrated on October 9th in South Korea, is a special day to honor the creation of the Korean alphabet, called Hangul. This alphabet was made by King Sejong the Great and his scholars in 1443. Before Hangul, only a few people could read and write because it was complicated. Hangul made reading and writing much easier for everyone. On Hangul Day, people remember and celebrate the importance of being able to read and write in their own language. It's like a big birthday party for the alphabet, and sometimes there are events and activities to enjoy.
How to celebrate Hangul Day?
Start your day by writing simple words in Hangul using colorful pens. Make a Hangul card for a friend, adding colorful drawings. Watch fun Korean cartoons or listen to Korean songs to hear Hangul being spoken. Try cooking a simple Korean dish with an adult, like kimchi pancakes. Sing a Korean song out loud, even if you don't know all the words. Make a Hangul poster with your favorite Korean words and decorate it with stickers. Play a Hangul board game or puzzle to practice the alphabet. End the day by sharing something new you learned with your family.
