We all know what Korea is like now, but let's go back 1,000 years ago and see what is was like then. A long time ago, King Sejong started the Korean language in the 1400's. Before, they used the Chinese language. After World war 2 ended, every Korean was able to write in Korean. Before, only women were able to write in Korean when King Sejong made it. Dangun was the original founder of Korea. He was born in North Korea. He had lived over a thousand years. This is a picture of the Korean Flag. __ Important Places __
