Bringing History to Life! The second character in our Heroes series, "The Fiery King Sejong"

The greatest king of Joseon who created Hangul
The special childhood story of King Sejong!

You will learn how Prince Ido grew into a great king, what achievements he made over the 32 years since becoming king at the age of 22, and how much effort he put in to leave behind such achievements.
I hope that by reading this book, you will not only learn more about King Sejong, but also feel proud of our history, which includes King Sejong.
-Professor Lee Ik-ju, Department of Korean History, Seoul Metropolitan University-

The King Sejong Memorial Hall opened on Hangeul Day, October 9, 1973, and has been promoting the great achievements and spirit of King Sejong for over 52 years.
"The Passionate King Sejong" helps children understand King Sejong not just as a great king, but as a person who struggled and grew. I recommend this book to children who want to naturally learn and empathize with the spirit of this great king.

'Truth or Lie in History' distinguishes between the fictional parts of the comics and actual historical facts, allowing for a more accurate understanding of history.
