A famous website, which is widely used by mountaineers around the world, has been found to mark Ulleungdo Island as Japanese land.

Sungshin Women's University Professor Seo Kyung-duk said on the 4th that he discovered the national emblem and photo errors of Ulleungdo on websites that provide mountain weather forecasts from all over the world due to reports from various Internet users.

In fact, if you search for "Ulleungdo" (Ulneungdo), which is the site in question, 'mountain-forecast.com ', it is introduced as Japanese territory. Even using Dokdo as a background picture, not Ulleungdo, can cause misunderstanding as if Dokdo is Japanese territory.

The error that Ulleungdo is marked as Japanese territory has continued. In 2020, Ulleungdo was marked as its own Shimane Prefecture on a site that informs the world of Japan's COVID-19 situation, which caused controversy.Professor

Seo said, "We plan to send an e-mail soon to request correction," and emphasized, "We will further strengthen our campaign to correct errors on Korean territory with Korean netizens around the world."
