Korean Alphabet Day, celebrated on January 15th, is a special day in South Korea to honor the creation of the Korean alphabet, called Hangul. Long ago, people in Korea used complex Chinese characters to write. To help everyone read and write easily, a wise king named Sejong made Hangul in 1443. It has simple letters that match the sounds of spoken Korean, making learning to write fun and easy for everyone. On this day, people remember King Sejong's great idea and how Hangul helps everyone communicate better. Schools and communities often do activities to celebrate Hangul and its importance.
