Thats because Korean works in the same way as the latin alphabet, so you have one character for each sound. In fact the alphabet was designed just 500 years ago or so, and each letter is supposed to represent the position of the tongue.

You can easily learn the alphabet in a week or so (but learning the language is a different matter).
