Dear Sir/Madam,

This is Hyeon Jeong Kang, a student from Korea. I would like to ask you a favor about the map on your video.

Dokdo, which is an integral part of the Korean territory historically and under international law, is also described incorrectly in the map on your video. The name, “Takeshima/Liancourt Rocks” seems to be taken from Japanese or Japanese-influenced sources as Japan has illegally and inappropriately been working to use that name internationally. The name, “Liancourt Rocks” was given by a French whaling ship Liancourt which charted the island in 1849 and have been used by western people but never by its local people.

Dokdo is currently dominated by the Republic of Korea and more closely located in South Korea than Japan. Dokdo is territory of the Republic of Korea historically geographically, internationally. The name “Dokdo” has long been used by the Korean people. This is the legitimate name that should be used internationally. Against this back drop, we would like to request you to use the name "Dokdo" when you refer to the island at issue.

I hope you will be able to make appropriate corrections on your video. I look forward to your cooperation and it would be most helpful if you give me reason when you decide to adhere to current naming practice.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
