서론 |
Dear___________
Please allow me to introduce myself: I am a member of the Voluntary Agency Network of Korea
Dokdo cyber organization is a non-governmental South Korean organization made up of youth and adult volunteer members who promote Korean culture internationally through e-mail pen-pal exchanges with foreigners.
In addition, all members learn about the languages, culture, history, and leadership of other countries as part of their world citizenship education.

| 본론 |
Personally, as a student and resident in the United States, I use Google as my primary search engine, as I know that I can trust the information that Google has. However, while searching for information about the Lunar New Year, I was surprised to see that Google automatically names the search term as the “Chinese New Year.” I realized that your search engine was disregarding all historical and cultural background to the Lunar New Year.
The “Chinese New Year” that your American search engine is suggesting is a term that significantly narrows Asian history. The event is celebrated yearly in other Asian countries, such as Korea and Vietnam, where the event isn’t named from Chinese roots. Rather, because Korea celebrated the event for such a long time, there is a distinct name for Korean Lunar New Year, called Seollal. Seollal is considered to be a very eventful and significant celebration for Koreans, lasting 3 days, when families gather. Clearly, the Lunar New Year cannot be singled out to be a Chinese celebration, but rather an event celebrated by many Asians in countries other than China. Interestingly, your search engine’s first website suggestion of the term “Lunar New Year” is about the history of Seollal, not the celebrations in China.
The awareness towards the correction of the use of the name “Lunar New
Year” is being recognized throughout the world. Arguably the biggest “Chinese New Year” festival in Sydney, a city that attracts many tourists yearly, renamed their festival to the Lunar New Year festival this year. And some of your own search engines have been using the naming of “Lunar New Year.”

| 결론 |
I think that the current society that recognizes Asian culture is a huge step towards international open-mindedness. Such societal change should be pushed by world-renowned companies like yours, and I encourage you to correctly notate the event, to advocate a change to the accuracy of world culture and history.
Sincerely, |
