Dear Madam/Mister,

Hello, my name is Yuna Lee, a member of Dokdo Cyber Press of South Korea. Surfing internet, I found your website. I appreciate you for your valuable and best website. However, I would like you to rectify a naming error in your website. Please refer the following in your website. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xEGgRdWdbc

There is a Korean island named Dokdo which Korea has been taking full control over 1500 years except Japanese Occupation period. Dokdo is the easternmost territory of the Republic of Korea. Administratively, its address is San 1-17, Dokdo-ri, Ulleung-eup, Ulleung-gun, Gyeongsang-buk-do province. Dokdo is the closest to Korea than any other countries. I would like to introduce the “Korean island” Dokdo so that you can rectify the error correctly. There are many historical and geographical reasons, and the reasons based on international leg

Firstly, Dokdo became Korea’s territory since 512A.D. which is also stated in Samguksagi(1145). In the 13^th year of King Jijeung of Silla, the general Isabu incorporate Dokdo into Silla and started to call it “Usanguk”. Secondly, the “Geographical Section of the Annals of King Sejong”, which is compiled in 1432, stated Koreans could see Dokdo when it is sunny. Thirdly, there is a record that Dokdo was called “Sambongdo” in 1471 and “Gagido” in 1794. Fourthly, the “Vol. 41 of Edict of Korean Empire”(1900) named “Ulleungdo” as “Ulldo” and recorded as “…..the area will control the whole area of ulleung and Dokdo…”, which means Korea decided Dokdo as gerichtssprengel of Korea.

Now, many other countries are naming Dokdo wrong like “Liancourt” as example, but Dokdo should have a single name, “Dokdo”. I would like to suggest you to use “Dokdo, a Korea territory” instead of “Dakesima” or “Liancourt” . However, as I explained you in the letter, Dokdo is clearly our territory. Your little naming mistake can influence whole international people. Please cooperate with me. Thank you for your time.

Best regards,

Yuna Lee
