Hangeul is considered a featural writing system and regarding the “true alphabet” part as you described it I'm sure it is a false statement alongside the neanderthals one. They also don't stack the letters like that because it looks more like Chinese, it's because Korean is heavily based on syllables without practically any consonant clusters occurring in the language, so separating individual syllables in the word just makes more sense than writing long words like in a true alphabet.
