With all due respect, I am writing this letter to you concerning the misleading maps contained in your website.
http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/np/pages/seas/sjp.html
To my great surprise, in the map posted on this page, the ocean that is located between the Korean peninsula and the Japanese archipelago is named the "Sea of Japan," not the "East Sea."
As a Korean national who is fully aware of how the East Sea is enthusiastically beloved by our people, and as a high school student who is eager to make good use of my knowledge to contribute to this world, I could not help but write this letter to you.
Therefore, I humbly ask you to seriously consider this issue and to replace the erroneous map with correct one. Please visit the website (http://dokdo.mofat.go.kr) for more specific information on geographical designations if you need any.
I would once again like to express my gratitude for your time and concern and will be more than honored to get reply from you via my e-mail.
Yours sincerely,
Yea Na, Kang
