Professor Seo also emphasized that "The United Nations Conference on the Standardization of Place Names (UNCSGN) announced in 1977 that if it is difficult to reach a single name for a terrain shared by two or more countries, the names used by each will be listed together." He also said that "I insisted on the validity of the Tokai notation, and if not, this would violate the international principles set by the United Nations. Already the world's leading media and map-making publishers It is written in parallel. The state of Virginia in the United States has declared a joint notation bill, and the New York Board of Education has also informed the fact that the notation has been officially confirmed."
He added, "I'm planning to go to the end. Until the day when the map of the world changes to the East Sea."
