OP A Korean member of another board I frequent has informed us that today (Thursday, if anyone is still mired in Wednesday) marks the 557th anniversary of the invention of the Korean alphabet. It was a public holiday from 1945 to 1990, though he didn't say why it no longer was. Don't you think the invention of the alphabet is an excellent reason for a public holiday rather than commemorating obscure politicos or not commemorating anything in particular but just deciding that it would be a popular day for a holiday?
He also provided us with a link on how it came to be invented: http://www.korea.net/learnaboutkorea/hangeul/hangeul01.html
