Dear, Webmaster

Hello, my name is Victoria (Jungwon) Ok, from Tokyo Korean High School in Japan. Currently, I am actively working as a member of Dokdo Cyber Press of South Korea. I decided to take this time to email your website when I came across an article where Dokdo Island was indicated as the 'Liancourt Rocks'. 

Dokdo is an island in the east coast of South Korea next to the larger Ulleungdo. The islands are also often miscalled as the Liancourt Rocks, a name given by a French whaling ship, and as Takeshita by the Japanese, who believes this island belongs to them. However, historically, Dokdo has been part of Korean territory since 512 A.D. The problem arose when Japanese started to illegally mark Dokdo Island as their territory. As far as history stretches, it is a fact that Dokdo Island belongs to Korea. 

I truly understand that you do not want to be involved in historical tension between Korea and Japan over territorial issues. Therefore, I do not ask you much but just to include 'Dokdo Island' next to the name 'Liancourt Rocks' in your article. I believe the usage of the word 'Dokdo Island' and 'Liancourt Rocks' concurrently would not cause you much problem, so I humbly ask for your attention and interest in changing the name. 

Thank you for taking time to read this email regarding article correction. I look forward to receive a delightful response from you. 

Yours sincerely,

Victoria Jungwon Ok
