Birth of Jeongeum: from darkness to light
Our language
was vastly different
from that of China.
While we had spoken words,
there were no proper characters
to write them down,
making both recording
and communication difficult.
Then, King Sejong the Great,
with divine wisdom,
created Jeongeum for the people
in a single moment of brilliance.
At last,
after a long history,
our people emerged from darkness
and stepped into the light.
