By Jung Kim

On Thursday, we visited the Territory Culture Museum - Dokdo in Heyri Art Valley for a field trip. Heyri Art Village is a place where lots of artists in various cultural fields work and live. It was precious time for us to have valuable information about Dokdo. Thankfully, We had opportunity to meet an expert on in the study of Dokdo and listened a Dokdo presentation.

We heard some opinions for Dokdo on Japan’s side . We learned that there is no dispute over Dokdo, as we have power and legal right to control and protect Dokdo as Korea’s territory. We are and have been ruling the island.

There were some festivals to celebrate Dokdo island in Seoul in Feb this year. This is what Dokdo supporters and South Korean government wants all Koreans to do; Enjoy the island. We appreciate that such a beautiful island, Dokdo, is belong to us.

After Dokdo presentation finished, we asked questions and had impressive gifts. There were a lot of great products for promoting Dokdo. There were transportation cards, tumblers, books, and neckties for Dokdo. We could feel passion for Dokdo and we respected the presentation with pictures of beautiful scenery of Dokdo.

Special thanks to Mr. Andrew Ahn and Mr. Ha Jin Ahn for donating their time and resources for this presentation.
