Most written languages are not engineered and created as an orthography by a definitive, singular entity but usually organically grown over time with a great deal of authors. Some people joke that Arabic scholars are thought to have created a great Standard Arabic written language because every Arabic dialect speaker is convinced their dialect is the closest to the standard. But Cherokee's written language was created by a single person (Sequoyah) but unfortunately far too late in their history to help save the collapse of the civilization through the benefits of written, standardized communication. Koreans learn a lot about their written language throughout school much in the same way people in America learn about American history legends, and given it's one of the crowning achievements of their culture, Koreans not knowing about its history would be like Americans never learning about the Industrial Revolution in their courses or Democracy. I suppose the difference is that most Koreans know enough about 한글 that they can explain its inception while most Americans hardly know the differences between the executive and legislative branches.
