일본 기상청이 제7호 태풍 ‘란’의 기상 지도에서 독도를 일본 땅으로 표기한 것으로 알려져 논란이 일고 있다.

16일 서경덕 성신여대 교수는 사회관계망서비스(SNS)를 통해 일본 기상청에 독도를 일본 땅으로 표기한 것을 시정하라고 요구하는 항의메일을 보냈다고 밝혔다.

서 교수는 “일본 기상청은 독도를 ‘竹島’(다케시마)로 항상 표기해 왔으며 이에 대해 3년 전부터 지속적으로 항의를 해 왔었다. 가장 큰 문제는 태풍, 쓰나미 경보시 기상청 사이트에 많은 일본 네티즌이 방문하기에 독도에 관한 잘못된 인식을 심어줄 수 있다는 것”이라고 지적했다.

이어 “이번 항의 메일에서는 ‘이는 명백한 영토도발이다. 독도는 역사적, 지리적, 국제법적으로 명백한 대한민국 영토이기 때문’이라고 지적했다”고 덧붙였다. 서 교수는 일본 기상청 뿐 아니라 일본 최대 포털인 야후재팬의 날씨 어플리케이션도 독도를 일본 땅으로 표기하고 있다고 전했다.

Japan Meteorological Agency lists Dokdo as Japanese territory on weather map for Typhoon No. 7 Lan

▲일본 기상청에 표기된 독도. 사진제공=서경덕 교수 The Japan Meteorological Agency has sparked controversy for labeling Dokdo as Japanese territory on a weather map of Typhoon No. 7. On the 16th, Seo Kyung-duk, a professor at Sungshin Women's University, sent a protest email to the Japan Meteorological Agency through social networking services (SNS), demanding that the agency correct its mistake of labeling Dokdo as Japanese land. "The Japan Meteorological Agency has always labeled Dokdo as '竹島' (Takeshima), and we have been protesting against this for three years. The biggest problem is that many Japanese netizens visit the Japan Meteorological Agency's website during typhoon and tsunami warnings, which can create a false perception of Dokdo," he said. "In this protest email, we said, 'This is a clear territorial provocation. Dokdo is an undisputed territory of the Republic of Korea under historical, geographical, and international law." Professor Seo said that not o...

The Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) announced on Friday that it had received a request from the MLB office to check the identities of Lee Jeong-hoo and Ko Woo-seok the day before, and that the players were informed today that they belong to Kiwoom and LG, respectively. A background check request from the MLB office is the first step for an MLB club to sign a player. The two players have played at least seven regular seasons, ending this season, and are eligible to move to overseas leagues through the posting system with the consent of their clubs. Lee previously announced his intention to play in the major leagues after this season. His team, Kiwoom, accepted. The local media is also showing high interest in their signing.

'Gangnam-daero 3 hamburgers'...'juicy' makes the wait worth it Five Guys

Customers wait in line to place orders at a Five Guys store on Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul, on Nov. 28. (Reporter Koo Ye-ji sunrise@) Five Guys, one of America's top three burgers, has landed in Korea, sparking a burger war on Gangnam-daero in Seocho-gu, Seoul. Five Guys is fighting for 'American taste', Shake Shack for localization, and Superduper for fresh meat. At 9:30 a.m. on the 28th, an hour and a half before the store opened, there were already 117 teams lined up out front. With the introduction of tabling (a remote queuing application), there were no long lines like on the first day. After a long wait, we were able to enter the store at 12:10pm. On the 27th, the second day of opening, the line started at 11:44am and I entered the store at 2:54pm. I ordered a burger from Five Guys in Korea and compared it to the Five Guys burger, Shake Shack, and Superduper signature items I tried in New York City in January. The Five Guys burger comes with eight veggies, incl...
