Why was Hangul created?
Hangul made Korean easier to write.
Before Hangul, Korean was written with Chinese characters or through systems such as Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal, which adapted Chinese characters to record or read Korean. These systems were cumbersome to learn and use. Hangul was created in 1443 to make Korean easier to write; Hunminjeongeum, a guide to the new writing system, explained it in 1446.
