	Korean alphabet, pronunciation and language
		The Koreans borrowed a huge number of Chinese words, gave Korean readings and/or meanings to some of the Chinese characters and also invented about 150 new characters, most of which are rare or used mainly for personal or place names.
		The Korean alphabet was invented in 1444 and promulgated it in 1446 during the reign of King Sejong (r.1418-1450), the fourth king of the Joseon Dynasty.
		Korean can be written in vertical columns running from top to bottom and right to left, or in horizontal lines running from left to right.

	JPRI Working Paper No. 93
		The exasperated Koreans were soon accusing the IMF of always raising new issues at the behest of the United States—something that the Fund officials readily acknowledged.
		Koreans suffered through massive bankruptcies of big and small firms, and a recession that contracted national income by seven percent, bringing down wages for the average worker by ten percent and sending the jobless rate to nearly nine percent.
		South Korea is a “non-command-sponsored tour,” meaning that the Department of Defense does not pay for the travel and living costs of family members.

	Boston.com / A&E / Movies / Diversity marks South Korean cinema
		Spanning from 1960, an era commonly regarded as the golden age of Korean film, to the present, these films represent the breadth of a cinema that continues to evolve politically and culturally as quickly as the nation itself.
		Korean films generally defy that kind of national identity, spanning the 19th-century romance of Im's ''Chunhyang," to Kim Jee-woon's ''A Tale of Two Sisters," a contemporary horror story based on an ancient Korean folk tale.
		In her book ''Contemporary Korean Cinema: Identity, Culture, Politics," Hyangjin Lee maintains that one of the most ''distinctive traits of Korean film is its political nature." Even during years of oppression, Korean filmmakers created works that irked the government -- and were subject to censorship -- but spoke to the people's frustration and alienation.
