Dear. Webmaster

Hello. This is Kyu-bee Ham from Northeast Asian History Foundation. Before heading down to the main subject, I want to notice you that I bear no malice toward you at all and it’s very honor for me to write in your website. I am a member of the Dokdo Cyber Press, and work to correct wrong indication about Korean territory.

Unfortunately, I found out some wrong mark in your post, that the “East Sea” was named as the “Sea of Japan.” The archipelago of Korea and Japan, currently named as the 'Sea of Japan' in your map, should be corrected to the 'East Sea'. It seems unreasonable to use the name "Sea of Japan" because it was decided in the period of imperialism and it has its original name, "East Sea", which has been used throughout history. Also, many international organizations including U.N. agencies have corrected “Sea of Japan” to “East Sea.”

Therefore, I believe that it should be described as the “East Sea” or at least with the simultaneous use of both names; “East Sea/Sea of Japan.” I really appreciate you for reading this letter and it would be more honored if you consider this issue positively and reply to my email, kyubee0920@naver.com. I’ll be glad to hear from you again.

Yours sincerely,

Kyu-bee Ham
