서론 |
To whom it may concern,
Hello. This is Jinhwan Yoon, a high-schooler from South Korea. While surfing the Internet, I came to visit your website and found that the website has been using the wrong map. Here's the link. http://www.tourisme-voyage.info/fiches_pays/japon/infos-pratiques-japon.html
As you can see from the image above, the map is describing the island on the East Sea as 'Liancourt Rocks'.

| 본론 |
However, the correct term for island is Dokdo, not 'Liancourt Rocks'. The reasons are as follows.
Discovering Dokdo in 1849, Europeans gave the name 'liancourt rocks' to the island after the name of the ship they took. However, South Korea had known about the existence of 'Dokdo' since a very long time ago and countless historical documents support this. For example, in Samguksagi, the oldest historical book in Korea, there is a record that Silla called 'Dokdo' as Usando after king Isabu had conquered Usanguk.
Moreover in the 1500s, An Young Bok, Joseon's fisherman during the 17th century, visited Japan and returned with a paper that said Ulleungdo and Dokdo is the territory of Joseon. In 1900, Dokdo was officially incorporated into Gangwon-do province through the forty-first article of Korea's imperial order.
Even some documents in Japan support that 'Dokdo' is the appropriate name and that the territory belongs to Korea. Thus, it can be absolutely said that describing Dokdo as liancourt rocks, just because Europeans discovered it(not even the first to discover Dokdo) is inappropriate.
