Another Pro-Tip: King Sejong the Great, in his infinite wisdom, tried to make the Hangul represent your tongue/mouth in the position of the sound of the character.
N = ㄴ
Tongue curling up to the front of the roof of your mouth.
K/G = ㄱ
Tongue curled at the back of your mouth.

This is why ancient Korean peasants had a literacy rate of some bullshit like 99%, it's simple as fuck.

And everything compounds into groups of characters, typically 2 or 3, but you can get 4 in some cases.
M = ㅁ, B = ㅂ
Oo = ㅜ
Moo = 무, Boo = 부

Etc...

You never have sole character, in cases where you need just a single character you use the "ㅇ" placeholder.
"Ee" (The Korean surname romanized as "Lee") = Placeholder + Ee = 이
