- 질문: 왜 이 문서에서는 East Sea가 아니라 Sea of Japan을 사용하고 있나요?
- 답변: 19세기 이래로 영어 화자들 사이에서는 Sea of Japan이 East Sea보다 널리 쓰이는 표현입니다. 유엔(UN)을 비롯한 대규모 국제기구 역시 Sea of Japan이라는 명칭을 사용하고 있으며, 신뢰할 수 있는 영문 출처의 대다수도 이를 뒷받침하고 있습니다. Sea of Japan naming dispute 문서와 Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Korean)#Controversial place names도 참고하세요.
