There are few Japanese middle school text book which they claim that Dokdo island is their island. The government of Korea is going to send a letter from the education minister to Japan, if more textbooks are found. Korea's government are willing to see the change of the textbook soon as possible.
This arguement have gone off between Korea and Japan for a long time. Each countries claim that Dokdo island is theirs. Couple years ago Japan had admitted that Dokdo island is Koreas, that is why South Korea wants Japanese middle textbooks to change because textbooks are educational book which are read and learned by the students. To make it clear Japan should change the text as soon as possible. As I am a Korea citizen, I do not feel pleasant when I see maps or people say the island is Japan's. It is not only the island, it is also the Japan sea. It should not be called after Japan because it is not Japan's sea.
