King Sejong like debating, so he had to debate time with his workers. Also, he made Hunminjeongeum. It is based on Hanguel. At that time, people wrote Chinese characters when they should write. So, people could not read it well. Then, when Hunminjeongeum was created, people could read it. It is because it is easy to learn. Like this, people use Hanguel now. If King Sejong did not make it, people will still use the Chinese language.
