About the Day

What is 한글날?

Hangeul Day (한글날) is a Korean national holiday celebrated every October 9th, commemorating the creation and proclamation of Hangeul — the Korean alphabet — by King Sejong the Great and the Hall of Worthies in 1443.

Unlike most writing systems that evolved over centuries, Hangeul was scientifically designed so that ordinary people — not just scholars — could easily learn to read and write.

Dibrugarh Korean Club brings this celebration to Northeast India, building bridges between Korean and Assamese cultures.
