I am writing to you as I have important suggestions to make in regards to your company¡¯s maps which indicated The East Sea as the sea of japan.
Liancourt Rocks has been named after ¡°Le Liancourt,¡± the French whaling ship that first discovered the Dokdo Island in 1849. The Republic of Korea, the country which holds the sovereignty and full control of the island, has officially named the island as the Dokdo Island. However, the temporary name given by the French, ¡°Liancourt Rocks,¡± is still being used by your company¡¯s map and therefore has the effect of spreading the incorrect name to the global community.
As a Korean who is fully aware of how the island is enthusiastically beloved by our people, I could not help but write to your company.
In addition, the name of the sea between the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago, currently named as the ¡°Sea of Japan¡± in your company¡¯s map, should be corrected to the ¡°East Sea.¡±
