Should the Sea of Japan be renamed in favor of Korea?

Question

Consider:

- What history is behind the name "Sea of Japan"?

- How will renaming the sea benefit Korea?

- Should it be renamed "East Sea" (South Korea's opinion), "Sea of Korea" (South Korea's opinion), "East Sea of Korea" (North Korea's opinion) or "Sea of Peace" (Japan's prime minister's opinion)?

- Should it even be changed at all?

Thanks for you opinions.

Sino pak is a troll on asiafinest.com who is taiwanese who posts anti korean comments.

Renaming the sea won't really benefit Korea. I personally don't care about which sea's named which. All that whining kind of demotes Korea's reputation in the global stage, so it's kinda sad...

South Korea wants to change the name, because they say it brings back thoughts of the old Imperialist Japan. I guess I can kind of understand that, and I think the name "Sea of Peace" is a great idea. It's a win-win situation for all the involved countries. But if that's too much of a hassle, then I'd just say stick with the Sea of Japan.

Answer 6

Man, worrying about the name of a Sea, for gods' sakes. It won't benefit anyone and the name should remain, to my opinion. The name was given long ago and we ain't the ones to change it.
