Dear The Japan News

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 important suggestions to make in regards to your articles titled the “Ministry posts YouTube clips on Senkakus, Takeshima"

To my great surprise, I found out that a article of yours have wrongly named the “Dokdo” as the “Takeshima.”

The name of the sea between the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago, currently named as the “Takeshima” in your article, should be corrected to the “Dokdo.”

At present, as many international organizations including U. N. agencies have corrected ‘Takeshima’ to ‘Dokdo’, I’d truly appreciate if your web site 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 “takeshima” to the “Dokdo.” Or, at least, please name it both 'Takeshima' and 'Dokok'. Please visit the website (http://dokdo.mofat.go.kr) for more specific information on geographical designations.
