University Professor Alerts Korean Government to Japanese Weather Map Not Correctly Depicting Dokdo
You would think this professor would have better things to do than trolling Japanese websites looking for anything not labeling Dokdo correctly. What a sad life to lead:
The foreign ministry lodged a strong protest against Japan’s weather agency for labeling South Korea’s easternmost Dokdo islets as Japanese territory in maps depicting the path of Super Typhoon Hinnamnor.
The ministry said on Monday in a statement that Dokdo islets are South Korean territory historically, geographically and by international law.
The ministry stressed that it will sternly respond to Japan’s unjust infringement upon South Korea’s territorial sovereignty, adding it asked the neighboring country to correct the mistake.
Professor Seo Kyoung-duk at Sungshin Women’s University, first alerted the government and news outlets that Dokdo was labeled as Japanese territory on weather maps posted on the website of the Japan Meteorological Agency.

Professor Karen’s parents must be absolutely mortified that a weather map triggered their child. With all of the issues facing the region, with all of the issues facing South Korea, what a buffoonish position to take.
BTW, why don’t they show the offending graphic? Was it because it was only a figment of a malicious imagination?

The areas highlighted in yellow are the areas expected to suffer from the typhoon, not strictly Japan.
But people willing to fight over such petty things while people are dying or losing homes and businesses from the effects of that powerful storm are just contemptible.
3 Koreans known dead and 8 missing; but Professor Karen wants to talk to the manager about maps on the internet. What a horse’s ass.
