The Korean Language Society () is a society of Hangul and Korean language research, founded in 1908 by Ju Sigyeong. It promotes Hangul-exclusive writing.
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 () in 1933.
Many of its early members were imprisoned and tortured in 1942 when Korea was under Japanese imperial rule.
