Domestic Globe Boldly Labels 'Sea of Japan'... Seokyoungdeok Says "Wake Up"

"Domestic Sales Globes, Magnets, and Other Labeling Errors"

Professor Seokyeongdeok from Sungshin Women's University pointed out that there are many errors related to the labeling of the East Sea and Dokdo on various products sold domestically.

On the 27th, Professor Seo stated, "After receiving reports from many netizens and checking, I found labeling errors on various products such as globes and magnets sold in Korea."

One globe product he cited as an example was labeled as '동해' (East Sea) in Korean, but was boldly sold with the English translation as 'Sea of Japan.' This globe is reportedly already widely used, including as teaching materials in a daycare center.

Meanwhile, a magnet map of the Korean Peninsula sold at a famous domestic tourist site showed the English spelling of Dokdo as 'Dogdo' instead of 'Dokdo,' causing controversy.

Regarding this, Professor Seo said, "Both manufacturers and sellers need to get their act together," adding, "This situation only provides Japan with an excuse."

He also added, "While we have been steadily correcting errors in the labeling of the East Sea and Dokdo overseas, starting next year, we plan to correct domestic errors as well."
