First of all, he was very enlightened king. He established the Ziphyon Chon which is a royal research institute. In 1446, he created “Hangul” alphabet, what we called “ Hun Min Jong Um”. It is the most famous thing that he invented. Second, King Sejong was a scholar, scientist, musician, and militarist. In these variable parts, he reformed and invented something. He invented rain gauge. He wrote numerous songs including “Yeo Min Rak”, they means enjoy the song with people. He made the boundaries of Korea. Finally, King Sejong governed people with affection and virtue. He died in 1450 at the age of 54. "Hangul" has been used from 1446 to these days in Korea.
