What is the ultimate goal of the research and learning of Korean phonology? Korean phonology is a part of "humanities, linguistics, and Korean linguistics". Humanities is the study of human happiness, so the research and learning of Korean phonology is also ultimately for the pursuit of human happiness. The process of learning the knowledge system of Korean phonology, which consists of the discovery of phonemes, the establishment of “the phonological systems, the understanding of distinguishing features, the understanding of phoneme combinations, the understanding of phonological phenomena, and the understanding of basic patterns”, is a very specialized field, but the understanding of all these processes is both a process of human understanding and a process of learning the methodology of human happiness. The process of understanding all these processes is both a process of understanding people and a process of learning the methodology of pursuing happiness. Korean phonology is a possible approach to explore and understand the purpose of the research and leaning of the Korean language.
