I admire Sejong the Great. He is very famous in Korea. You go to a primary school and ask a question
"Who is a person you admire or respect??" You could get many answers then you would recognize most of children say Sejong the Great. Perhaps his rival is only Lee sun-sin. Nobody follow those two guys' achievements.
His best achievement is making Han-gul. Han-gul is Korean language. If there is no him in Korea, we might use Chinese or other language in Korea. He made Han-gul from natural environments as various human and nature shape. And Han-gul can express simillar pronunciation of every language.
Also, Sejong the Great appoint excellent scientists. For example, He appoint Jang young-sil who invent a rain gauge, a celestial globe, etc. Although Jang Young-sil is not nobleman, Sejong the Great appoint him to high public office.
