Dear KTLA5

With my deepest respect and gratitude, I take it as a great honor to write to your website. I am Yoon, Eui-jin, and I am proud to introduce myself to be one of the people of the Republic of Korea and a student of Hana Academy Seoul.

I also work as an active member of the Dokdo Cyber Press, a non-governmental and voluntary organization with the mandate to provide correct information about Korea to the international community, including textbook publishers.

I am writing to you as I have an important suggestions to make in regards to your picture titled the East Sea as the Sea of Japan.

To my great surprise, I found out that an picture of yours have wrongly named the “East Sea” as the “Sea of Japan”.

The name of the sea between the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago, currently named as the “Sea of Japan” in your picture, should be corrected to the “East Sea”.

At present, as many international organizations including U.N. agencies have corrected “Sea of Japan” to “East Sea”, I’d truly appreciate if your website could join this trend.

As a Korean who is fully aware of how the island is enthusiastically beloved by our people, I could not help but write to your company.

I humbly ask for your website to seriously consider the issue of changing the “East Sea” to the “Sea of Japan”. Or, at least, please name it both “Sea of Japan” and “East Sea”. Please visit the website (http://dokdo.mofat.go.kr) for more information on geographical designation.

I would like to once again appreciate your time for reviewing my letter and will be more than honored to get reply from your website via my email (jiny2315@naver.com).

Your sincerely,

Euijin Yoon
