| What I mean by that is celebrity wise, comic book character wise, and etc. Just some Korean idols/pop culture. |

the guys in my class seem to love wrestlers, they talk about "Big Show" and chokeslams a lot. Also, of course Pak Jisung (sp?) is popular for soccer. Girls like Super Junior.
Hell though I had students writing postcards last week...I'd say about 20% of 'em wrote to Starcraft characters. Ever read a letter to a "Dark Templar"? I had to read 5 heh. |

| Super Junior, Buzz, Shinwha, Fruits Basket, Boys Over Flowers, Kartrider, pink, effeminate boys, Park ____ ____ what's-his-name, the short comedian who's always slapping his head, and about 50% of them love anything morbid or gory. |

I didn't think King Sejong invented Hangul, I thought he just tweaked the alphabets to make it for Korea. I aways thought Hangul already existed considering only the wealthy and well educated knew Chinese letters, and the poorer or regular people had a similar alphabet system already.
Could be wrong. |

Nope it's phonemetic alphabet for Korean. Though I doubt he invented it by himself, if you hit a Korean's knee they will tell you King Sejong invented Hangeul. |

The King hired scholars to "invent" it. |
