Dear producers of Tomonews.

I am a member of the cyber dokdo guardian journalists and I`m writing this email to inform you that the use of the nomination 'Sea of Japan' in your news was inappropriate. No means of offense.

I understand that most of the western countries use the nomination 'Sea of Japan' widely. However, the proper nomination of the body of water lying between the Korean peninsula and Japanese archipelago is the 'East Sea', written '동해' in Korean text. This nomination has been used since a long time in Korea and Japan. Korean people are confused when they see maps and hear news designating the East Sea as the Sea of Japan.

I know that it is hard to change all your previous news reports using the nomination of 'Sea of Japan' however, me and my fellow Koreans would be very pleasured if you could use the nomination 'East Sea' in your future news. I would also be very happy if you could write a comment on your news that the proper nomination of the sea previously mentioned as the 'Sea of Japan' is the 'East Sea'.
