---------quote from the site------------------
Koreans call their alphabet Hangul. Like English, the letters of
the Hangul alphabet represent individual sounds or phonemes.
Hangul was invented by King Sejong of the Choson Dynasty, and
introduced to the public in 1443 in Hun-Min-Jeong-Eum. King Sejong
believed that Koreans needed an easy-to-learn system for writing
their own language. Before King Sejong deigned the Hangul,
Koreans had either written in the Chinese language or had written
Korean using Chinese characters to represent the Korean sounds in
a complex system, Idu. The alphabet originally contained 28
letters composed of 11 vowels and 17 consonants.
