Why was Hangeul created by Sejong the Great?

Hangeul was created by Sejong the Great to improve literacy among the Korean population. At the time, written communication was limited to those who could read and write in Classical Chinese, which was complex and not easily accessible to common people. Hangeul simplified the writing process and enabled wider participation in governmental affairs and cultural expression.
