What led to the resistance against Hangeul during Sejong the Great's time?

Resistance to Hangeul arose primarily from the aristocratic and scholarly elite who had been educated in Classical Chinese and viewed the new script as unnecessary and inferior. They were concerned about losing their cultural and linguistic influence. Despite this resistance, Hangeul's practicality eventually led to its widespread acceptance.
