Legend has it that after King Sejong had invented the Hangul he wanted to find a way to implement it. After some thought, the king when out a night and drew the Hangul on some large leaves in honey. Overnight, ants ate away at the parts covered in honey, leaving the symbols of the Hangul written in the leaves. In the morning, King Sejong took the leaves to the kingdom's religious leaders who declared them to be a sign from heaven.
