With my respect and gratitude, I take it as a honor to write to you. It was very interesting and helpful to get some information from your articles.  

I am Yu Ri So, and I am proud to introduce myself to be one of the people of the Republic of Korea and a student of the Third Grade of High School Attached to College of Education, Chung-Ang University. 

I also work as an 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. 

I am writing to you as I have important suggestions to make in regards to your site in the post titled the “S Korea-US military exercise held in the Sea of Japan" (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-pacific-10752746)

To my great surprise, I found out that the article have wrongly named “East Sea” as the “Sea of Japan.”

The name of the sea between the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago, currently named as the “Sea of Japan” in your company’s article, should be corrected to the “East Sea.” because when there is a sea between two countries, country on the western side should decide its name following international customs.  

We are working on correcting the names such as 'Takeshima' and 'Sea of Japan' as well as speak the truth about military slavery by Japan.

Both Korea and Japan recognized the sea between two countries as "East Sea" since ancient times and many historical reports supports our allegation. 

As a Korean who is fully aware of how this sea is enthusiastically beloved by our people, I could not help writing to you.

I sincerely ask for your company to seriously consider the issue of changing “Sea Of Japan” to the “East Sea”. Please visit the website (http://dokdo.mofat.go.kr) for more specific information on geographical designations. The website offers texts that is written in English or other languages as well. 

I would like to once again appreciate your time for reviewing my letter and will be more than honored to get reply from your company via my e-mail(soyuri1102@naver.com). 

Thank you for reading this long letter.

Yours sincerely,

Yu Ri So
