서론 |
Dear webmaster, Hello. This is Jinhwan Yoon, a high-school student from Seoul, South Korea.
While working on my school project, I got to read one of your publications and found a serious historical error on your website. To give an explanation of it, here's the link. I also attached the problematic map.

| 본론 |
The map is using the term 'Takeshima' to describe Dokdo. Dokdo is a small rock island in the southeast of the East sea and consists of 91 islands, big and small. Japan is consistently arguing that Dokdo is the territory of Japan, which is why they are using 'Takeshima' to describe it. However, it is clear that Dokdo is the territory of South Korea and the reasons are as follows.
South Korea has known the existence of Dokdo since a very long time ago and numerous historical documents support this. For example in Samguksagi, one of the oldest historical book in Korea, it is recorded that Silla called Dokdo as Usando after king Isabu had conquered Usanguk.
Moreover in the 1500s, Joseon's fisherman An young Bok visited Japan and returned with a paper that says "Ulleungdo and Dokdo is the territory of Joseon. In the1900s, Dokdo was officially incorporated into Gangwon-do province through the forty-first article of Korea's imperial order. Even some documents from Japan says that Dokdo is the appropriate name and that the territory belongs to South Korea.

| 결론 |
I understand your intention of writing the article is not to argue Japan's ownership of Dokdo. Still, such map on your website can make your visitors think the island belongs to Japan, which is clearly, historically, wrong.
Also, I think you should be even more cautious about choosing images you're going to use because your sns accounts can exercise huge influence.
Therefore, I ask that you remove the wrong map on your website and replace it with the correct one. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely, Jinhwan Yoon |
