What 퀸 means

It means “queen”; context decides.

It is borrowed from English; card games use it for the queen card too.

How did Hangul begin?

Sejong introduced Hangul in 1443.

Its original name was 훈민정음; a 1446 book of that name explained the script. Before Hangul, people adapted Chinese characters to write Korean in systems called Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal. Hangul became the national writing system in 1894.
