Korean must acquire logical minds.

yes.sea of Japan.

[allgoo19]

It's just a name, how we call it, right?

It's not like which country takes control of it, right?

Why this is so important?

Having said that, Sea of Japan is much easier to locate on the map.

Any ocean on the earth can be called East Sea. Any part of the ocean is east of something.

In August 2011, the U.S. Government officially stated that the U.S. government supports a single representation "Sea of Japan".

South Korean government's political ploy was completely destroyed.

Shameless Korean government should know invasive incitement is always rejected in the international community.

2011년 8월 년, 미국 정부는 공식적으로 미국 정부가 하나의 표현 "일본의 바다 '를 지원 밝혔다. 한국 정부의 정치적 계략은 완전히 파괴되었다. 뻔뻔한 한국 정부는 침략적 선동 항상 국제 사회에서 거부됩니다 알고 있어야합니다.

Koreans often claim there is no historical usage of the ‘Sea of Japan’, and that Japan only managed to call the body of water thus because of its former colonial might. Not so. The term was well-established by the international community while Japan was still in its isolationist period.

A few uncomfortable facts about the history of the name ‘Sea of Japan’, all taken from international libraries and UN resolutions:

[MrAnnanova]

‘Sea of Japan’ appeared in Matteo Ricci’s map published in 1602.

Survey conducted of 4,548 maps printed before 1900 in the national libraries of USA, UK, France, Germany and Russia which shows that ‘Sea of Japan’ was used on 1,890 maps and ‘East Sea’ used on only 3. The remaining maps used either no name or a different name. In short, the name ‘Sea of Japan’ had been internationally established long before Japan became a colonial power.

[MrAnnanova]

Koreans often tell the outright lie (no doubt told them by their nationalist media) that the UN has stated both ‘Sea of Japan’ and ‘East Sea’ should be used simultaneously. Nothing could be further from the truth:

[MrAnnanova]

UNCSGN (United Nations Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names) 9th Meeting, August 2007:

‘Furthermore, in response to the enquiry by the Government of South Korea, the United Nations Secretariat officially replied on 10th March 2004, that “Sea of Japan” is the standard geographical term and as such is to be used in official documents of the United Nations.

[MrAnnanova]

Concerning the unfounded argument that it is unfair to designate simultaneously different names as each party claims when there is a dispute over the of geographical features, the

[MrAnnanova]

United Nations Secretariat clarifies its position that it observes the prevailing practice of the single use of “Sea of Japan,’ explaining that dual designation breaches the prevailing practice and infringes the neutrality of the United Nations, and that fairness and neutrality can be achieved only through the observance of practice.’

If Korea was NOT there in your colonial period around 19~20C, you are right.
