Dear Webmaster,

Hello. I'm Hee Ju Kim and I’m from South Korea. It’s a great honor to write in your website. I was reading your article and found wrong information; the "East Sea" is written as "Sea of Japan."

The name of the sea between the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago, currently named as the “Sea of Japan” in your article, should be corrected to be the “East Sea” due to following reasons.

First, the name "Sea of Japan" was decided in the period of Japanese imperialism. In that period, Japan forcibly marked "East Sea" as "Sea of Japan". Therefore it seems unreasonable to use the name "Sea of Japan".

Also, according to international organization, it is noted that “If each of two or more countries use different names, the international organization advises the name’s simplification, and if it can’t, it has to use both names.”
