What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is dummy text used in the publishing and design industry. It originates from Cicero's philosophical treatise "De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum," written around 45 BC. The text has been used as a typesetting sample since the 1500s and has remained the standard placeholder text for over 500 years.
Why Use Lorem Ipsum?
In most design and development workflows, the layout needs to be built before the final content is ready. If real text is used instead, reviewers tend to focus on reading and critiquing the content rather than evaluating the visual elements - layout, spacing, font choices, and line height - that actually need feedback.
Lorem Ipsum looks like natural language but carries no meaning, so it provides realistic word lengths and character distribution without distracting from the design. It is commonly used in web design to test responsive layouts, in print design to set up column structures and pagination, and in app development to populate UI components with text of realistic length.
Korean Dummy Text Source
The Korean text in this generator is drawn from the Hunminjeongeum preface (1446, public domain), practice sentences for traditional calligraphy scripts, and naturally-composed Korean sentences. Only sources free of copyright restrictions are used.
English Dummy Text Source

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use meaningless text?
Real content distracts reviewers from layout decisions because they start reading. Meaningless text lets you focus on visual elements like layout, fonts, and line spacing.
Why does Korean need a separate dummy text?
Korean and Latin alphabets differ in character width, line height, and readability. English Lorem Ipsum cannot accurately test Korean typography, so a dedicated Korean dummy text is required for layout verification.
What is Target Character Count mode?
Sentences are accumulated until the total character count (including spaces) reaches the target you specify. Paragraph count and length settings are ignored in this mode. Output stops at the nearest sentence boundary, so the actual count may differ by one sentence at most.
Can't I just repeat "abc" or "test test test"?
Simple repeated text has word lengths and character distributions that differ drastically from real sentences. This makes it impossible to accurately test line breaks, paragraph heights, or letter spacing. Using dummy text that resembles natural language gives a much more realistic preview of the final layout.
