Hello I am kyu-eun Shim, I wrote this because your article incorrectly marked Dokdo as Takeshima. Dokdo is written in Chinese characters, meaning an island made of rocks. There is a big problem with calling Dokdo a Takeshima. Dokdo has been called Korea's territory from the past to the present. In addition, Japan in the past has historical evidence that Dokdo belongs to Korea. For both historical and geographical reasons, Dokdo's territory is not only Korea, but it should use the exact name Dokdo, not Takeshima.

There is sufficient historical and geographical evidence that Dokdo belongs to Korea and that it has the correct name of Dokdo, not Takeshima. First, if you look at the historical evidence that Dokdo belongs to Korea, Dokdo has been recognized as Korean territory since General Isabu occupied Usan-guk (Ulneung-do) in 512 years. It can be seen that Dokdo has been recognized and ruled as our territory since ancient times, including Sejong Silok Jiriji (1454), Shinjeung dongguk yeoji seungram (1531), Dongguk Literature Bibigo (1770), Mangiyoram (1808), and Jeungbo Literature Bibigo (1908). Also, if you look at Dokdo as a 'geographical basis' as Korean territory, as mentioned earlier, the distance from Dokdo to Ulleungdo Island in Korea, which is closest to Korea, is about 87.4 km, while the distance from Oki Island in Japan is 157.5 km. Also, Dokdo can be seen from Ulleungdo Island on a clear day. Since the Republic of Korea is also taking effective control, it goes without saying geographically that it is our land. 

In conclusion, there are various evidence that Dokdo is Korea's own territory and that there is a name for Dokdo, not Takeshima. First, Dokdo means an island made of rocks, and Japan in the past has a historical basis that Dokdo belongs to Korea. There fore, please correct Takeshima to ‘Dokdo’, because it is written in the wrong name of Takeshima in your article. Also, from the past to the present, Korea has Dokdo as its own territory, and since it is not Japanese territory, please correct the wrong information that Dokdo is Japanese territory. Thank you.
