the east sea

Historically, the sea area between the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago, known as the "Sea of Japan," had been referred to by various names. Even though no single name had been consistently used to designate this body of water until the 19th century, designations containing references to Korea were predominantly found on maps. It is worthy of note that as late as 1870, many Japanese maps referred to this body of water as the "Sea of Chosun (Korea)" instead of "Sea of Japan."

You also believe that koreans are the center of the world since you want to change the name  Sea of Japan to East Sea. Is the east sea east of Japan? No. Is it the east sea for Russia? No. We might as well call the gulf of mexico, southern gulf of the United States of America. Yeah? Yeah.

Most Japanese people don't care what you koreans call the sea or even know that you call it the East Sea (of Korea).
