To whom may concern

Hello,

My name is Kyeong Mi Lim and I’m a student from Hana Academy Seoul in Republic of Korea, and I also work as a member of Dokdo Cyber press, a non-governmental voluntary organization established to provide correct information about Korean territory Dokdo to the international community.

While doing the research, I’ve got to read your newspaper article titled "North Korea fires short-range missiles into Sea of Japan". Thank you for providing abundant information.

To my surprise, however, I found out that your website have incorrectly named the "East Sea”, the sea between Korean peninsula and Japanese archipelago, as the “Sea of Japan”. I earnestly suggest you to change "Sea of Japan" to the “East sea”, or at least writing both designations: “East Sea/Sea of Japan”. Please help correcting the distortion in name of the “East Sea” which has been committed by Japan since the period of imperialism. Recently, many international organizations including U.N. agencies are correcting “Sea of Japan” to “East sea”, It would be appreciable if  "Financial Times" could join this international trend.

Thank you again for your help. I look forward to hearing from you. My email is principiable@google.com

Yours sincerely,

Kyeong Mi Lim
