Writing Hope in Hangul: Korean Calligraphy for 2026

Introduction to Korean Calligraphy & the Activity

1. Korean Calligraphy and the Beauty of Hangul
Korean calligraphy, called “Seoye (서예)”, is a traditional art form that expresses both language and emotion through writing.
It is especially meaningful because it beautifully highlights the unique design of Hangul, the Korean alphabet.

Calligraphy is one of the best ways to show the beauty of Hangul, because each stroke, space, and rhythm can reflect the writer’s feeling and intention—not just the meaning of the word.
Traditionally, Korean calligraphy was used to express:
- Personal values and mindset
- Hopes for the future
- Reflection and self-discipline

2. From Traditional Calligraphy to Modern Brush Pen Calligraphy
Traditional calligraphy usually requires a brush, ink, and long practice.
In this event, we will use modern brush pens, which make calligraphy more approachable and enjoyable for beginners.
Brush pen calligraphy:
Keeps the spirit of traditional Korean calligraphy
Is easy to use, even without prior experience
Allows more freedom and personal style
Is widely used in modern Korean art and design
The goal is not perfect writing, but expressing yourself comfortably and creatively.

3. Writing Wishes for the Year 2026
In this activity, participants will write their wishes or hopes for the year 2026 using Korean calligraphy.
You may choose to write:
- A single Korean word
- A short phrase
- Or a personal wish for the year ahead
Everyone’s work will be unique, and that individuality is part of the beauty of calligraphy.
