President's Message
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Welcome to Hunmin jeongeum Society.
It was a great honor to be appointed as the 8th president of the Hunmin jeongeum Society, for the two years beginning January 1, 2022.
Our society was founded in 2007 to deepen the study of Hunmin jeongeum and writing, and has made great strides so far thanks to the efforts of the former executives and the constant interest and encouragement of our members.
At the international and domestic conferences held every year, research results related to writing systems in general, individual scripts, and Hunminjeongeum have been presented, and articles further developed from this presentationd were published in the English journal SCRIPTA. In addition, our society has steadily engaged in research to make languages which have no means of documentation written in Hunmin jeongeum.
It is said that writing systems, which are the greatest invention in history, have made a decisive contribution to the development of human civilization. It is also true that no one can deny that Hunmin jeongeum, created by King Sejong, is of great value from the graphological view. We look forward to the wider and deeper study of writing systems, including Hunmin jeongeum, through the participation and support of our members and those who agree with us.
January, 2022
JANG Yoonhee
President of Hunmin jeongeum Society
