Introduction
안녕하세요!

I've been working on this set for a while, and I'm super excited to introduce PBT Modern Hangul
Here is the original KLE. I will be using proper OG icon mods, so please ignore the text mods! (More on sublegends below)

Inspiration/Naming
With a name like Modern Hangul, it only makes sense that the set is clean and minimal, with a splash of colour. I started by wanting a monochrome kit made in PBT. Red and blue are deeply personal colours and add a lot of personality to a rather minimal set. Since these two colours have followed me throughout the years, I wanted to bring them to my keycaps as well. I've really come to enjoy these two colours, and I hope that you will too! All colours are either Pantone or RAL.
I noticed that we have a distinct lack of Hangul kits, so I've decided to make those the default legends in this set. However, if there is enough interest in the IC phase, I will strongly consider adding in regular alphas as well! I'm trying to have this made in PBT, and I am currently waiting to hear back from HammerWorks CRP as well as ePBT to decide which PBT manufacturer I will go with. The black mods have been purposely chosen to be lighter than previous attempts at reverse dye-subbed black keycaps, so they should be a fair bit easier to achieve.
Sublegends
As shown in the KLE, I'd love to aim for grey sublegends to stay true to the minimal design and to have the main legends be the primary focus. They're sublegends after all! Initial renders don't show this, so I will work on that ASAP. Additionally, I'd like to ask for your feedback on the inclusion of sublegends on the mods. Is that something you would want?
Kits
Considering the large number of kits that most keycap sets have, I wanted to keep it nice and simple, while including the maximum amount of compatibility in the main sets. I'm open to feedback for the kits, so if you have any suggestions, please remember to fill out the form at the bottom of this post!
Base

Base kit supports pretty much every standard layout from 60% and up, minus full-size and Alice.

Sorry to tell you this but Leopold and Ducky already sell really great PBT doubleshot caps on their keyboards in a variety of color schemes for about the same price (or less) as you are probably going to ask just for caps - ie around $110 - $120 - For example:

Do Leopold and Ducky sell the caps on their own with good layout support? Or are you saying you can get a Leopold or Ducky with Hangul sublegend keycaps for the same price as a kit?

I'd be ecstatic if somebody could do Hangul caps like this fantastic render from a couple of years ago (that never happened):

What if people want to put this set on their Rukia, Alice, or split-key keyboards? Or, what if those keycap qualities are not actually great?
what if people with split space keyboards want accent colored bars?
I was interested until I saw split bars only in white...
Feedback noted, it's an IC after all!
Add ISO-DE support and this will be an guaranteed buy for me. I don't usually go for sublegends but I love Hangul and the colors are great, too.
I might just have to start doing all the different kinds of ISO in this case, hmm
Or are you saying you can get a Leopold or Ducky with Hangul sublegend keycaps for the same price as a kit?
Yes, I'm saying the keyboards come with great caps similar to this IC.
What is the point of buying a leopold keyboard with keycaps that only supports said board?
This set supports multiple layouts including whatever ducky and leopold board you buy.
You cannot really compare them.

Agree. You could say the same for any keysets being run.
I really like like this set! Maybe consider adding B keys in spacebar set for the weirdos like me that want double Bs on their Alice lol
Darn, added 2x 1u blanks thinking that would be enough, I guess you guys really like your extra B don't you :p

Hey sorry, this is the wrong forum!
Very nice. Any chance of non-white 2.25/2.75u spacebars?
Yep!Set looks great! Hope to work with you on the set uWu
