The Hangul writing system assembles letters into syllable blocks with an initial slot, a medial vowel slot, an optional final slot, so text is a linear sequence of internally slotted blocks, which structurally is, in my modest understanding, what Voynichese slot grammar does, at least in principle.

Excluding many dissimilarities: Hangul and Voynichese use the same type of mechanical blueprint to build their tokens. Hangul uses that blueprint to map the infinite variations of human speech, while the Voynich system uses it to heavily lock down and restrict its underlying code.
Mechanically opposite objective functions while the blueprint is same and thus purpose-neutra

But as said initially, not really my gaming area.

I have, I proposed the Korean hypothesis once, also because it makes chronologically sense - the Voynich Manuscript has been dated to the early 15th century and that's exactly when King Sejong was devising a new writing system for Korean, so this could have been an earlier attempt at it.
