However, I found that the sea between the Korean peninsula and Japan was labeled as the ¡°Sea of Japan¡± instead of the ¡°East Sea¡±. I express deep concern about this issue. It seems unreasonable to use the name ¡°Sea of Japan¡± because it has been decided in the period of imperialism. Moreover, looking back in history, the ¡°East Sea¡± has been called this way for more than 2,000 years. Therefore, I believe that the body of water between Korea and Japan should be changed into the ¡°East Sea¡±.
Thank you for reading my long message, and I ask you to replace the ¡°Sea of Japan¡± with ¡°East Sea¡±.
