I'm curious about the "obsoletion" of Chinese characters over the last 30 years. How did it happen since the 1990s? Did it all happen organically from everyone or did the government start enforcing certain laws?

I knew the Simplified Chinese (commonly used in Mainland China) was pushed by the RPC government to replace Traditional Chinese. Did something similar happen in Korea?
