Canadian Textbook Controversy: Jeju Island Marked as Japanese Land Sparks Outrage in Korea

2024-05-15 04:26:05.462000

A Canadian textbook titled 'Counterpoints, Exploring Canadian Issue' has sparked controversy by marking Jeju Island in Korea as Japanese land. The textbook, published by Frantis Hall, mistakenly describes the situation in which Japan colonized Korea and expanded its territory, incorrectly painting Jeju Island as part of Japanese territory in 1890. This misrepresentation has caused outrage among Koreans, as it is not the first time Jeju Island has been marked as Japanese territory. In 2009, the U.S. intelligence agency CIA also misrepresented Jeju Island. Professor Seo Kyung-deok plans to send a protest email to the publisher, urging for a correction to be made. He also encourages Koreans worldwide to report errors in textbooks. [7f05a88d]
