many disciples in his lifetime.", "Gimhae News states that \"Hur not only devoted himself wholeheartedly to his research and his writings, but also to nurturing great successors.", "It would be difficult to find those who are not Hur Woong's disciples nor the disciples of his disciples among those who study linguistics within South Korea.\"", "The Busan Grand History and Culture, an

than three decades.", "Song Hyun, the co-chairman of the Gathering of People Dedicated to Hangeul and the Korean Language Society (Korean: 한글과 한글학회를 사랑하는 사람들의 모임), stated, \"It's not just wrong that
