I take it as a great honor to write to your company. However, As I was going to through the website, which I had acknowledged to be a very helpful and sourceful website, I felt quite disappointed that you had the wrong information. The topic was about Liancourt Rocks. I am very sorry to say that those information are wrong, and I am hoping that the mistake will be corrected. Dokdo is commonly knownas Liancourt Rocks, and Takeshima. Dokdo is the right name of Liancourt Rocks, because Dokdo is a part of South Korean territory.
Liancourt Rocks has been named after ¡°Le Liancourt,¡± the French whaling ship that first discovered the Dokdo Island in 1849. The Republic of Korea, the country which holds the sovereignty and full control of the island, has officially named the island as the Dokdo Island. However, the temporary name given by the French, ¡°Liancourt Rocks,¡± is still being used by your company¡¯s map and therefore has the effect of spreading the incorrect name to the global community.
As a Korean who is fully aware of how the island is enthusiastically beloved by our people, I could not help but write to your company.
I would like to attach some references to help your understanding of this matter. I hope that errors in your website will be corrected. If you do not mind, could you let me know an e-mail address of the person in charge or another possible way to correction, please?
Thank you again for your help. I look forward to hearing from you.
Your sincerely,
Seungah Cho
