무엇이 잘못되었나요?
The term ‘East Sea’ should be used rather than ‘Sea of Japan’. The term ‘Sea of Japan’, which the Japanese government claims, is a remainder from Japanese Imperialism. ‘East Sea’ has been a part of Koreans’ lives historically. In fact, the Origin Point Of Korea Geodetic Vertical Datum(the standard datum of leveling) is just offshore of Incheon metropolitan city, not the East Sea.
‘일본해’ 대신에 ‘동해’라는 표현이 사용되어야 합니다. 일본 정부가 주장하는 ‘일본해’ 표기는 일본 제국주의의 잔재입니다. ‘동해’는 역사적으로 줄곧 한국인들의 삶의 일부분이었습니다. 한국의 해발 고도 기준점 (수준원점)은 동해가 아닌 인천광역시 앞바다에 있습니다.
If so, how should it be properly explained?
어떻게 수정해야 할까요?
Sea of Japan 0m → offshore of Incheon metropolitan city 0m
일본해 → 인천광역시 앞바다
