The Board on Geographic Names under the U.S. Geological Survey on Wednesday corrected the entry for Dokdo on its database from ?undesignated sovereignty? to ?South Korea,? ending a weeklong uproar in Korea. The BGN restored the description at around 5:30 p.m. under both the ?country? and ?first-order administrative division? categories, putting an end to anger over the new designation that had stirred Korea since the news broke last Friday.
At 1 p.m. the same day, U.S. President George W. Bush in a special interview with Asian reporters at the White House said he was well aware of the issue. ?I asked (Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice) to review it, and the database will be restored where it was seven days ago,? he said.
