This is a great video!!!! Just a small correction: use of Hanja didn't end in 1444, and actually Hanja is still an officially and legally designated writing system in Korea today with children expected to learn 1,800 hanja (漢文敎育用基礎漢字, hanmun gyoyukyong gicho hanja) by the end of high school. The invention of Hangeul resulted in the Korean mixed script where Sino-Korean vocabulary (about 60-70% of the entire Korean lexicon) was written in Hanja whilst native Korean words, grammatical particles, etc. were written in Hangeul. Because of the highly similar look this had to the Japanese mixed script, it gained a lot of negative connotations after the end of the Japanese occupation of Korea, and Hanja were eventually officially abolished in South Korea in 1968 for these nationalistic reasons (this ban was repealed in 1992 after the end of the dictatorship in South Korea).
