Hangul is what I point to when someone says, “Nothing good ever came out of a government committee.” 😁
Even as a foreign English speaker, I was able to pick up Hangul in an eight-week Korean language course. Which was useful, as I never got aspirated vs tense consonants right, so I would sometimes have right down what I was trying to say. I was stationed in Seoul with the US Navy in 1988 ( during the Olympics!) and had a wonderful time. The Korean people we met and worked with were very kind to Americans.
