The Why of Koreans 005 From Coffee Mix to Hangul: Stories of Korean Inventions 세계 최초의 발명품

"What is the greatest invention in history?" Most people might think of the light bulb, penicillin, or the smartphone. But today, we want to look at inventions that are a bit closer to our lives—inventions that contain the unique spirit and wisdom of Korea.

From the Coffee Mix that fueled Korea's rapid industrialization to Hangeul, the alphabet designed for the empowerment of the people. These aren't just tools; they are solutions born from a deep love for humanity and a desire for a better life.

In this episode of K-jin, we explore the 'Why' behind Korea's most significant inventions: 

✔️ Coffee mix, made for busy people

✔️ Cyworld, an early social media from Korea

✔️ The world’s first rain gauge

✔️ Jikji, the first metal-printed book

✔️ Hangul, a writing system made for the people
