The or '''Jiphyeonjeon''' was set up by King Sejong of the Joseon Dynasty in
Korea in 1420. It consisted of scholars selected by the king. The Hall participated in various scholarly endeavors, of which the best-known is the compilation of the ''
Hunmin Jeongeum '', in which the
Hangul writing system was first formulated.
The Hall of Worthies was disbanded by
Sejo Of Joseon after many of its members plotted to undo his seizure of power in 1456. However, a similar organization, the
Office Of Special Advisors , continued much of the same work.
