However, I would like to ask you a favor about the map on the website.
The body of water lying between the Korean peninsula and Japanese archipelago is described incorrectly in the map of your website. We hope you appreciate the importance of transcending historical bias and provide accurate information about the East Asia region. The body of water between Korea and Japan should be described as the ¡°East Sea¡± or at least with the simultaneous use of both names; ¡°East Sea/Sea of Japan.¡±
In addition, Dokdo, which is an integral part of the Korean territory historically and under international law, is also described incorrectly in the map on your website. The name, ¡°Takeshima¡± seems to be taken from Japanese or Japanese-influenced sources as Japan has illegally and inappropriately been working to use that name internationally.
The name ¡°Dokdo¡± has long been used by the Korean people. This is the legitimate name that should be used internationally. In other words, the one who is illegally arguing the dominium of Dokdo is 'Japanese', not Koreans. Therefore, we would like to request you to use the name "Dokdo" when you refer to the island at issue.
