Seong Je-hoon, Spokesperson of Rural Development Administration, Selected as 'Woorimal Sarangkkun'
[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyun-jung] To celebrate the 574th Hangeul Day, the Hangeul Cultural Solidarity designated Dr. Sung Je-hoon, a Ph.D. in engineering and spokesperson for the Rural Development Administration, as a 'Lover of the Korean Language.'
Spokesperson Sung has authored two books on the correct use of the Korean language and was officially designated as a 'Guardian of the Korean Language and Script' by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Hangeul Society in 2007.
He proposed writing congratulatory and condolence envelopes in Hangeul instead of Chinese characters, and on the 10th, participated in a JTV Jeonju Broadcasting program titled 'The Meaning and Tasks of the 574th Hangeul Day,' where he explained the proper use of administrative terms by easily converting agriculture-related technical terms, which are mainly in Chinese characters, into Korean.
On the 26th, he is also scheduled to conduct an online special lecture on the correct use of the Korean language at the Rural Human Resources Development Center for his colleagues at the Rural Development Administration.
The Hangeul Cultural Solidarity, which annually selects and announces lovers and detractors of the Korean language, is the only Hangeul organization registered with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in Korea. For this year's 574th Hangeul Day, they selected Spokesperson Sung along with Professor Jeong Seon-geun from Seoul National University's Department of Rehabilitation Medicine. Spokesperson Sung received a presidential commendation at this year's Hangeul Day ceremony in recognition of his contributions to the correct use of Hangeul.
