The editorial pointed to new controversial points being revealed one after another after the opening to public of the contents of the textbook compiled by neo-conservatives embellishing what was done by Syngman Rhee and Park Chung-Hee.

It held that the textbook has many more flaws in its content compared with other textbooks as it distorts history as evidenced by the justification of the Japanese imperialists' colonial rule including the sexual slavery enforced by them, etc.

The Committee for Compiling National History is chiefly to blame for the flaws as it decided on finally approving the textbook at its screening.

It urged the committee to rectify its mistake by immediately canceling the results of screening of the textbook.
