The Korean Language Society (Korean: 한글 학회) is a society of hangul and Korean language research, founded in 1908 by Ju Sigyeong. It promotes hangul exclusive writing.
Hangul Day was founded in 1926 during the Japanese occupation of Korea by members of the Korean Language Society, whose goal was to preserve the Korean language during a time of rapid Japanization.[1] The society established a Korean orthography (한글 맞춤법 통일안) in 1933.
Many of its early members were imprisoned and tortured in 1942 when Korea was under Japanese imperial rule.
