I’ve chosen to talk about Sejong the Great, who’s a historical figure I’d like to meet.

He was the fourth king of the Joseon Dynasty, which is a historical period in Korean history lasting from about the 14^th to the 19^th century. And… he reigned from 1418 to 1450.

He’s famous for creating Hangeul, which is the Korean alphabet. It was a historic moment for Korea because previously only the upper classes had been literate, and they had to use Chinese characters, but after Sejong invented Hangeul, everyone could read and write and there was a unique Korean script. Actually, Hangeul is so easy to learn that communities around the world have adopted it to write and preserve their languages.

I want to meet him because I really admire him. He was very generous… I mean, he was very wealthy but wanted to help people who were less fortunate than him.

If I met him, I’d pick his brains. I mean, I’d ask him where he got his inspiration from and how he found the motivation to pursue his goals.
