- Yarak: okay so what's next? are we going to start calling it 'japan sea' in our textbooks too?
- Velvet Sparrow: how's this supposed to be a nuanced representation of global waters if they get something as basic as sea name labels wrong
- Sharmaamir: should be more careful with names though - it's not like they're too busy to learn some basics
- Sofia: interesting that they finally updated the maps, still have faith in south Korea's influence on UN decisions though
- Ghost Signal: still don't see how "Japan Sea" is that much different from East Sea
- Sofia: unbelievable they still get it wrong on an official UN map, what a mess
- Dusk Reaper: who decided to change 'east sea' to 'japan sea', and are there any Koreans involved in this?
- Ravi: who thought this was a good time to start geo-political shenanigans?
- Diegomarsh: seems like another misstep in their effort to harmonize global nomenclature
- Morenobruno: that's pretty embarrassing for the UN
- Ashen Kite: so they finally caught that mistake, took them long enough to notice the label wasn't correct
- Leorossixo: this would've been an issue even when we were still living under Japanese rule. what's next, "Sea of Korea" instead of the East Sea?
- Halcyon Jackal: who came up with this naming convention? sounds like a headache to update all international documents
- Luna: apparently they can't even get sea names right, what's next
