Summary<\/h2>\n

SmileStory Inc. (CEO Sam Heum Yeon)<\/strong> has developed the world’s first universal system ‘WIHP (WIA International Hangul Phonology)<\/strong>‘ that can represent the pronunciation of all 7,000+ human languages in Korean Hangul, and announced its free, patent-free release<\/strong> to the world.<\/p>\n

137 Years of Gap, One Question<\/h2>\n

In 1888<\/strong>, the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) was born. A revolutionary tool to transcribe every human sound in one system.<\/p>\n

Yet for 137 years, IPA remained exclusive to linguists<\/strong>. Can ordinary people read \/h\u0259\u02c8lo\u028a\/ and pronounce “hello”? Impossible.<\/p>\n

\n

IPA (1888) \u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2192 Only linguists can read \u274c<\/p>\n

WIHP (2025) \u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2192 8 billion humans can read \u2713<\/p>\n

IPA \u2192 Hangul = Anyone can pronounce!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

CEO Sam Heum Yeon learned about IPA just days ago. He was an ordinary person. But he asked a question nobody asked for 137 years:<\/p>\n

\n

“Why not convert IPA to Hangul?”<\/p>\n

Hangul already perfectly represents sounds. Map IPA’s 250 phonemes to Hangul, and everyone can read any language’s pronunciation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Why This Is Logically Great<\/h2>\n

Core Insight<\/h3>\n
\n

Sounds humans can make = Finite<\/strong><\/p>\n

~200 consonants + ~50 vowels = All of IPA
\u2193
WIHP = All IPA \u2192 Hangul mapping<\/strong>
\u2193
7,000 languages covered!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Analogy:<\/strong> Just as 26 letters can write all English words, ~250 IPA symbols can represent all human pronunciations. WIHP converts these 250 to Hangul.<\/p>\n

King Sejong’s Spirit, 600 Years to the World<\/h2>\n

WIHP inherits the spirit of King Sejong’s creation of Hangul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Era<\/th>\nRevolution<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
King Sejong
(1443)<\/td>\n		“Learn in the morning, read in the afternoon”<\/strong>
Can pronounce without meaning<\/p>\n

\u2192 Gift to Koreans<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

WIHP
(2025)<\/td>\n		“Learn once, read 7,000 languages”<\/strong>
Can pronounce without meaning<\/p>\n

\u2192 Gift to all humanity<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

Same Principle, Same Revolution<\/p>\n

What Hangul gave to Koreans, WIHP gives to all humanity<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

User Experience: The Change This Brings<\/h2>\n

Scenario: American John learning Korean<\/h3>\n
\n

Currently (Without WIHP):<\/p>\n

John: How do I pronounce “\uac10\uc0ac\ud569\ub2c8\ub2e4”?<\/p>\n

\u2192 IPA: \/kam.sa.ham.ni.da\/<\/p>\n

\u2192 “What does this even mean??” \ud83d\ude15 Gives up<\/p>\n

With WIHP:<\/p>\n

John: Types “gamsahamnida”<\/p>\n

\u2192 Auto-converts: “\uac10\uc0ac\ud568\ub2c8\ub2e4”<\/p>\n

\u2192 Just read Hangul = Perfect pronunciation! \u2728<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Core Value<\/h3>\n
\n

“Without learning IPA,
if you can read Hangul,
you can pronounce any language in the world”<\/p>\n

Ex: “Hello” \u2192 \/h\u0259\u02c8lo\u028a\/ \u2192 \ud5ec\ub85c\uc6b0 \u2192 \u281a\u281d\u2810\u2825\u280d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Blind people can also learn any language’s pronunciation in braille through WIHP.<\/p>\n
