''Hangul'' was first developed in [[1443]], but ''[[Hunminjeongeum]]'', a book organized by King Sejong which formally describes and explains the writing system, went through three years of further testing and improvements before being published three years later. Meanwhile, in [[1445]], Sejong released an epic entitled "Songs of Flying Dragons" (K: ''Yongbi Eocheonga''), which describes the founding of the [[Joseon Dynasty]] in five books (ten volumes, 125 chapters), in both ''hangul'' and ''hanja''.

A dictionary called ''Dongguk Jeongun'', published in [[1448]], was the first book to detail Korean pronunciations, in ''hangul'', for Chinese words.
