    • 2012 October, 박희민 [bakhuimin], 박연과 훈민정음 [bagyeon'gwa hunminjeong'eum, Bak Yeon and Hunminjeongeum], Human & Books, →ISBN:
      난계유고에는 훈민오음정성(訓民五音正聲)이란 말이 있지 않은가! 여기에 창안하여 '박연이 훈민정음을 창제하였다'라는 가설을 세우고 연구를 시작하였다. 그러나 지금까지 이 가설에 의심이 가는 그 어떤 조그마한 점도 발견한 게 없다.

      There is a phrase 'Hunmin O-eum Jeong-seong' in [Bak Yeon's] Nan'gye Yugo! Based on this record, I made a hypothesis that Bak Yeon created Hunminjeong'eum and did a research. And so far, I haven't found tiny bit of doubt about this hypothesis.
