I found that though the sea between Korea and Japan should be called as 'East Sea', the map on your article wrote it as 'Sea of Japan'. However, this is not a right way to call this part of sea.
As the sea is Korea's territory, it should be written as 'East Sea'. Historically for 2000 years, not only in Korean maps but also in old Japanese maps, it was called 'East Sea', not 'Sea of Japan'. However, though “East Sea” was the name that was used for 2,000 years, due to Japanese occupation, the sea's name got misled as 'Sea of Japan'. So, the historical name of that sea is 'East Sea'.
Also, according to IHO( International Hydrographic Organization), world's seas should use standard international titles. And the 'East Sea' is the standard title selected by IHO.
Thus, 'East Sea' is the correct title for the sea historically and internationally.
So I want to ask you some help to change the map on the article to one with 'East Sea' written, instead of 'Sea of Japan'.
I know that this article was written on December 2018, which is a long time ago,
but I want to ask your help to change it as we can easily search it on Google.
