With my deepest respect and gratitude, I take it as a great honor to write to your website. It was very interesting and helpful to get some information from your website. I am Ji-hyun Yoon, and am proud to introduce myself to be one of the people of the Republic of Korea and a student of Hana Academy Seoul.

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 maps titled the “Sea of Japan”, “일본해”

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

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.”

As a Korean who is fully aware of how this sea is enthusiastically beloved by our people, I could not help but write to your company.

I humbly 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.

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 (happyjihyun4@naver.com).

Yours sincerely,

Ji-Hyun Yoon
