    At last, King Sejong the Great instructed that detailed
    explanations be added to help people easily understand the
    new writing system. He wanted the knowledge to be
    accessible to everyone, ensuring that even those without
    formal education could learn on their own. In response to
    this royal command, Jeong Inji humbly collaborated with:
    Choi Hang, a scholar of the Jiphyeonjeon (Hall of
    Worthies), Park Paengnyeon, Shin Suk-ju, and Seong
    Sammun, who were also esteemed scholars and officials,
    Kang Huian, a government official, Yi Gae and Yi Seonro,
    assistant scholars at the Jiphyeonjeon.


    Accessible by all people

    Together, they compiled explanations and examples to
    illustrate the usage of Hangul, presenting them in a clear
    and concise manner. Their work aimed to make
    Hunminjeongeum accessible and understandable to all
    people, regardless of their educational background.
