"A king who rules over the people should pull out all the heart."

It is a famous saying of King Sejong the King, whom Koreans love and respect most.

King Sejong is the king who is said to be the greatest king of Korea and has made great achievements in many fields such as politics, military, culture, science and art.

The greatest achievement is the creation of Hangul!

King Sejong made a phonetic symbol through inventing Hangul for people's rich use of language.

Koreans are exploring the achievements of King Sejong through various contents such as dramas, movies, and comics, as well as biography.
