Korea and Japan have each continued fierce diplomatic wars regarding the'East Sea' mark, but a proposal has been made to mark it with a'unique number' instead of the East Sea or the Sea of ​​Japan.

So, it's like'a few times a few times' and it's likely to be adopted by the International Hydrographic Organization in November.



Reporter Hye-young Kim will point out how to see this and what kind of efforts we should make in the future.

is the data released on the website by the International Hydrographic Organization and the IHO.



In the international standard chart house, which is the guideline for charts around the world, a new proposal has been put in place to mark specific water bodies with'unique identification numbers' instead of names.



For example, in the case of the East Sea, a unique number, such as an IP address, is not attached to the East Sea or Japan Sea.



The superficial reason is that it is suitable for the digital age such as electronic navigation, but there seems to be a dimension to close the diplomatic conflict over the notation.



Japan, North Korea and us are also positive.



It is unfortunate that the long efforts for the East Sea weaponry, for example, end with a draw, but the last published chart book in 1953 marked the Sea of ​​Japan.



Final confirmation will be made at the November general meeting.



However, it is pointed out that the notation that people around the world commonly use in everyday life is another matter from the decision of international organizations, so it is now true.



[Joo Seong-jae/Chairman of Donghae Research Association (Professor, Kyung Hee University): If you search (Google) in a country other than Korea, the Sea of ​​Japan comes first.

In order to mark a more balanced position in portals and Internet Google…

proportion of displaying the East Sea on the world map, whether alone or armed, was only about 2% in the early 2000s, but it is known to have exceeded 40% in recent years due to the efforts of the government and the private sector.
