Upon visiting your website, I was dismayed to discover that you have erroneously labeled the body of water adjacent to Korea as the 'Sea of Japan,' rather than using the correct term, the 'East Sea.' I urge you to rectify this error promptly. Specifically, while reading one of your posts titled "<Tonghae Satellite Launching Ground>," I came across a glaring mistake wherein the 'East Sea' was incorrectly referred to as the 'Sea of Japan.' It is imperative to understand that the 'East Sea' has been under Korea's jurisdiction since the 6th century, with the discovery of Dokdo, an island situated within its waters. Dokdo unequivocally belongs to Korea, as evidenced by historical documents such as Imperial Edict No. 41, established in 1900, which explicitly designates Dokdo as Korean territory. Additionally, Korean authorities have continuously administered and protected the island. Despite overwhelming evidence supporting Korea's sovereignty over Dokdo and the East Sea, the Japanese government persistently asserts its claim to Dokdo, citing outdated documents. However, it is crucial to recognize that Japan's occupation of Korea for 35 years resulted in the destruction of numerous Korean historical records, rendering their claims baseless and unfair. A longstanding dispute over the ownership of Dokdo and the East Sea persists. Nevertheless, it remains an indisputable fact that Dokdo and the East Sea belong to Korea, both historically and legally. |
