Dear Asian Access

I would like to appreciate your time reviewing this email, and I take it as a great honor to write to your company. My name is keonwoo kim.

I'm working as an active member of the Dokdo Cyber Press, a non-governmental and voluntary organization with the mandate to provide correct information about Korea to the international community, including textbook publishers.

With all due respect, I am writing this letter to you concerning the misleading maps contained in your website.

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ks.html

To my great surprise, in this map, the ocean that is located between the Korean peninsula and the Japanese archipelago is named the "Sea of Japan," not the "East Sea."

As a conscientious high school student who has a certain degree of historical and geographical knowledge about what is right and wrong, and as a Korean national who is fully aware of how the East Sea is enthusiastically beloved by our people, I could not help but write this letter to you.

herefore, I humbly ask you to seriously consider this issue and to replace the erroneous map with correct one. Please visit the website (http://dokdo.mofat.go.kr) for more specific information on geographical designations if you need any.

Yours sincerely,

keonwoo kim
