서론 |
Hi! I am a high school student in Korea. I found your some errors on your website as below.https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Map-of-the-Sea-of-Japan-and-adjacent-land-areas-showing-the-known-geographical_fig5_44176257. The name for the body of water between Korea and Japan has long been a point of contention between the two sides.The sea in question comprises an Exclusive Economic Zone and the territorial waters of four countries: South Korea, North Korea, Japan and Russia. As such, adopting a single designation named after the name of a specific country cannot be justified for waters shared by multiple countries and influenced by each of their sovereign authority.

| 본론 |
Naming a geographical area shared by two or more countries is usually determined by an agreement between the countries involved. If an agreement cannot be reached, the general rule of international cartography is to concurrently notate each name individually endorsed by different countries involved. This rule is also confirmed through resolutions of the United Nations Conferences on the Standardization of Geographical Names and the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO).Marking Sea of Japan is destructing legacy of the Japanese imperialism. And I also mentioned that International organizations like UN and IHO already agreed on using both East Sea and Sea of Japan.Using the name East Sea is very important for Korea's sovereignty. Sea of Japan is a term used by the Japanese after 1929, a legacy of Japanese colonial rule.

| 결론 |
So I request you to change " Sea of Japan" to " East Sea" on your website. Please understand our sad history and our position about this issue. Hope we can receive your reply soon.We will continue explaining to the international society the legitimacy behind the concurrent use of the East Sea and the injustice in using only the Sea of Japan on the basis of objective facts and general principles of the international society.
Thanks for your reading & regards, Hyunseo Lee |
