"민중 문자" (Minjung Munja) refers to a form of writing that emerged in South Korea during the 1980s. It was created to promote literacy among the common people, especially those who were marginalized or lacked access to education. This writing system uses simplified characters and is designed to be easily understood by everyone. The term "민중" (Minjung) translates to "the people" or "the masses," emphasizing the focus on empowering ordinary citizens. "문자" (Munja) means "letters" or "writing." Together, 민중 문자 represents a movement towards inclusivity in language, aiming to bridge the gap between educated elites and the general population.
