South Korean Professor Protests Japan Meteorological Agency's Map That Issues Typhoon Warnings... ``It Marks Dokdo As Its Own Territory''

In conveying information about Typhoon No.11, the Japan Meteorological Agency has caused controversy in South Korea by describing Takeshima (Korean name: Dokdo) as its own territory. Meanwhile, Professor Seo Kyung-deok of Sungshin Women's University in Korea announced on the 5th that he had sent a protest email.

“This is a clear territorial provocation, as Dokdo is historically, geographically and internationally unequivocal territory of the Republic of Korea,” Seo said in the email. It also reportedly attached a Japanese-language video explaining why Dokdo is Korean territory, emphasizing that it should correct Dokdo as Korean territory and never make such a mistake again.

Regarding this, Professor Seo said, “In fact, for a long time, Yahoo! weather app provided by Japan, etc., marked Dokdo as its own territory, and it became a problem.”
