To Whom it may concern,

Greetings,

I am Seonwon Kim from South Korea.

I am finding out typographical errors about Korean territory on a regular basis.

I found out something wrong on your website and strongly urge to correct the wrong term “Sea of Japan“  to the right term "East Sea".

I hope you would deeply tackle this issue.      

 'East Sea', the sea between Korea and Japan has been used in Korea over 2,000 years. Many old maps consistently say that this sea is written as 'East Sea' instead of 'Sea of Japan'. 

The International Hydrographic Organization recommends ‘marking at the same time’ if the parties fail to agree on a single name for the terrain they share. 

The sea between Korea and Japan should be described as the “East Sea” or “East Sea/Sea of Japan.”  

Therefore, I would like to ask you to describe 'East Sea' or 'East Sea/Sea of Japan' instead of 'Sea of Japan'.

It is not just a simple name but a precious name containing many historical background and evidences. 

Please reply to me if any positive change occurs.

I appreciate to your time and patience of reading my letter.   

Sincerely,  

Seonwon Kim
