King Sejong Statue can be found at Seoul’s Gwanghawmun Square.
The statue commemorates King Sejong the Great (1397-1450, reign 1418-1450), the fourth king of Joseon (1392-1897).
He is thought to be the greatest king in Korean history, for he is credited with great developments in science and technology, expansion of Joseon’s territory, and the creation of the Korean script, [Hangeul].
King Sejong’s likeness can be found on the 10,000 won bill as well.
