To whom it may concern,
Hello, my name is Sejin Kim, and I am a
freshman at Gaepo High School in Korea. I would like to start with thanking you
for the wonderful information your website has provided. However, I would like
to point out some minor errors in your information and ask you a favor to
consider correcting it.

The
marginal sea between the Korean peninsula, the Japanese archipelago, and
Russia, is currently referred to as ¡°Sea of Japan¡± on your website. However,
that reference is inaccurate and should be instead corrected to ¡°East Sea¡± for
the following reasons. Historically, the sea in question was documented as
¡°East Sea¡± in Korea since the 12th century. In contrast, the name
¡°Sea of Japan¡± was first used and documented during Japan¡¯s imperialist years,
when Korea was under Japanese rule and was unable to express its interests
internationally. Also, geographically, the sea in question is surrounded by
more than one country, and so under rule of several different countries. With a
part of Korea¡¯s EEZ being a considerable part of said sea, we think it is
inappropriate to use the name ¡°Sea of Japan¡± to a body of water with a shared
sovereignty.

For the reasons stated above, I ask of you
that the name ¡°East Sea¡± replace, or at least be used simultaneously with the
name ¡°Sea of Japan¡±. I hope you understand that this is not just a simple
matter of calling names, but a matter of historic and geographic right. Thank
you for your time.
Best regards,
Sejin Kim
