1. [+121] How can you even stand on a Korean beach and write 'Sea of Japan' like that ㅡㅡ

2. [+50] She clarified and apologized that it said 'Sea of Japan' on Google maps so she thought it was right. Let's please not be too hard on her since she's a foreigner who might not have known 😢😢😢

3. [+44] Aigoo.. she made a mistake. But she's a foreigner so maybe she didn't know...

4. [+21] So a player on a Korean team went to the beach in Korea and wrote 'Sea of Japan'? I don't understand, and it makes me mad. Go play in Japan since I can't stand you anymore.

5. [+20] I think it's likely that she didn't know... but she's stepping on Korean land, didn't she think it was weird that she was calling the sea right before her Japan's?... It would've made me pause and look it up ㅜ

6. [+17] Well that's rude

7. [+3] Not sure why you'd go to a beach in Kangwondo and tag it as 'Sea of Japan'.. I'm sure she knew the implications of that, no?

8. How could she have known when Japan's been telling the world that it's the 'Sea of Japan' all this time?

9. She's a foreigner, it's acceptable that she didn't know. Perhaps it's our fault for not spreading awareness about it more? 

10. It's marked as the 'Sea of Japan' everywhere else so it feels wrong to express rage over this... it can happen with foreigners.. I was taught that way in history class in the US, but I just let it go ㅋㅋ
