On your web siteas you illustrate facts regarding Republic of Korea, it is providing distorted and wrong information to your viewers from around the world. Typical errors on the web site are as follows. This is a serious error that could confuse foreigners who intends to travel Korea.
on the map provided, on the eastern end of Korea, there is an island named ‘Dokdo’, but this marks ‘Dokdo’ as Liancourt Rocks’. The name ‘Liancourt Rocks’ is named after a French whaling ship that ‘discovered’ Dokdo. But naming the island, which has been originally called ‘Dokdo’, with the name of the ship that ‘discovered’ it, is justifying the imperialist idea and is an indisputable error per se.
Furthermore, Koreans have called the name of the eastern sea of the Korean peninsula as the ‘East Sea’ for more than two thousand years. However, labels the sea as the ‘Sea of Japan.’ The name ‘Sea of Japan’ is a vestige of Japanese imperialism and is a lopsided name supporting Japanese imperialism. This is an error that degrades the fairness and credibility For reference, in 2017, the Virginia House passed the bill that required all Virginia textbooks to include the ‘East Sea’ alongside ‘Sea of Japan.’ Also in 2019, the New York State Education Department updated a portion of the curriculum involving the East Sea, and now uses both names ‘East Sea’ and ‘Sea of Japan’ when teaching about the region.
