To whom it may concern,

Hello, I am JW Park, a 2^nd grade student in the middle school of South Korea and also a member of “cyber group for correcting errors on Dokdo.”

I happened to visit your website and read your kids encyclopedia facts such as “Liancourt Rocks facts.” I was so shocked to see how much incorrect your historical explanation on Dokdo was from tip to toe. It was a totally distorted explanation based on Japanese ungrounded claim.

Dokdo had continuously appeared in Korean historical records as a clear territory to Korea since 512 A.D. even before 20^th century. They are frequently found in the Korean historical books such as the Chronicles of the Three States and the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty. The only time when Korea lost its sovereignty over Dokdo was from 1905 when Japanese imperialism took away the Korean diplomatic autonomy by force, to 1945 when it was the last year Korea had been  Imperialist Japanese colony. Even after World War II, the Allied countries clearly affirmed by SCAPIN 677 in 1946 that Ulleung Island and Dokdo was not the territories of Japan.

Also, it was a maliciously wrong fact that South Korean armed forces captured 3929 and killed 44 Japanese people between 1952 and 1965 in your explanation. It never happened and was a totally fake.

As a Korean, I am duly eligible to make a strong complaint about your website for posting incorrect and distorted information on Dokdo. In addition, I should request you to check out the right and just historical facts on Dokdo and correct your manner and explanations on Dokdo based on historical facts as soon as possible.
