서론 |
Dear gettyimages,Hello. This is Jinhwan Yoon from South Korea. I visited your website through the link that was set up on your instagram account. While looking at the photos, I came to find a serious error in the link below. You have used the term 'Liancourt Rocks' to describe photos of the rock island located between South Korea and Japan. But the appropriate term for it is 'Dokdo.'

| 본론 |
The reason why 'Dokdo', not 'Liancourt Rocks', is the correct name for the island between the two countries is as follows. Discovering Dokdo in 1849, Europeans gave the name 'liancourt rocks' to this 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 However, South Korea had known about the existence of 'Dokdo' since a very long time ago and countless historical documents support this.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.

| 결론 |
I found that you currently have 1.6 million followers on instagram, 1 million on twitter, and more than 700 thousand on facebook. This means that you can have considerable influences and that such errors on your website can cause serious misunderstandings and historical distortions to a large number of people. Therefore, I ask you that you use the correct term 'Dokdo' to replace 'Liancourt Rocks' and deliver the truth to those visiting your website. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely Jinhwan Yoon |
