Hangul Day was founded in 1926 during the Japanese occupation of Korea by members of the Korean Language Society, whose goal was to preserve the Korean language during a time of rapid Japanization. The society established a Korean orthography (한글 맞춤법 통일안) in 1933.
Many of its early members were imprisoned and tortured in 1942 when Korea was under Japanese imperial rule.
