Dear who concerns,

I trust this email finds you well. My name is Yujin Hwang, a college student deeply involved in advocating for the rightful recognition of "Dokdo" and the correction of the current designation of "Takeshima" to its accurate name, "Dokdo."

I am reaching out to address a matter I observed on your website, specifically the incorrect reference to the islet known as "Takeshima." It is my sincere request that you consider rectifying this error in your future articles, recognizing the importance of accuracy in geographical nomenclature. Allow me to provide some historical context to support this correction.

"Takeshima," commonly known as Liancourt Island, is an islet situated between Korea and Japan in the Eastern Sea. However, it is crucial to emphasize that its authentic name and sovereignty are "Dokdo," despite being referred to as "Takeshima" by Japan and other nations.

I noticed a mention of the San Francisco Peace Treaty on your website, which could potentially create a misconception that Dokdo might be considered Japanese territory. I urge you to reconsider this perspective, taking into account the substantial historical evidence affirming Dokdo's status as Korean territory. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea has compiled a comprehensive list of events and official records supporting Dokdo's Korean sovereignty.

These records meticulously outline Korea's continuous administration and control of Dokdo since ancient times, pre-dating any claims by Japan. Furthermore, they highlight instances where Korean sovereignty over Dokdo was internationally recognized and affirmed.

I sincerely hope that a review of these historical records will lead to an acknowledgment of the truth regarding Dokdo's sovereignty. Your cooperation in updating the designation from "Takeshima" to "Dokdo" on your website not only showcases a commitment to accuracy but also contributes to the promotion of historical truths and fosters mutual understanding between nations.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.

Warm regards,

Yujin Hwang
