My hero

  Most of Korean's favorite King is Sejong the Great because he really loved his people. Sejong the Great was a King of Joseon Dynasty. At the time, people used chinese characters, but Chinese characters were very difficult to learn, so only scholars or high class people learned Chinese characters and used, so many people couldn't read and write. Sejong the Great wanted to help all people read and write Korean, so he created Hangul, which is a very simple and easy Korean alphabet to learn and use.

  Thanks to Sejong, we have our own alphabet and all Koreans are proud of our alphabet.

  Also, he wanted to help farmers, so he made a book about farming and water clocks, and various farming appliances. It seems like he was a very mild and gentle, but he was a very strong king because he expanded Joseon's territory by powerful millitary force.
