to clarify, 60% of korean words were derived from chinese roots, and they could be expressed in chinese that would sound much different. Letters are korean alphabets, which we use to use our own word, as well as the chinese-derived words in everyday life. And even for the words sharing roots in the Chinese characters, they do not have exact same pronunciations and meanings, although often very similar.
Korean speaking language was different from Chinese speaking language although Korea didn't have their own alphabet until King Sejong created it around the mid 1400. Before the creation of Hangul [Korean alphabet], people used Hanja [Chinese characters] to read and write. Only the very educated knew how to read and write Hanja and were only used by nobles and high class officials, etc...
