119, seeing how Dokdo is the single most important cultural and national icon in Korea, I find it insulting to even think about it being lost to the ocean.

There was a huge advert in the Korea Times the other day telling people that they should all turn to nuclear power because this alone would stop global warming and prevent dokdo from vanishing into the sea.
