Lately, "A deep rooted tree(Korean drama)" is getting popular. This drama is the story about the creation of Korean alphabet Hangeul. Korean alphabet Hangeul is the character composed of 10 vowels and 18 consonants.
Hangeul is recognized as the simplest and one of the most progressed characters in the world. Hangeul was created in 1443 (King sejong's 25th year) and its Korean script Hunminjeongeum was invented in the same year. This script was also listed on Memory of the world.
It is a quite interesting news that UNESCO gives King Sejong award to people who contribute to eradicate illiteracy.
