Kim, presidential chief of staff of Chongwadae, is plunging the political landscape of south Korea into a mess, notably the personal affairs issue, the article said, and went on:

He pressurized Jong Hong Won, the then "prime minister", to step down in order to calm down the towering resentment of the people in the wake of the ferry Sewol disaster. As his designation of those with no qualifications as candidates for prime minister ended in frustration, he made Jong stay in office.

Such accusations as "the incompetent regime has no ability to nominate a new prime minister", "the vegetable-like prime minister's stay in office means the end of Park Geun Hye's personal affairs policy" and Kim Ki Chun is the very one bringing disasters are heard from political, media and all other circles of south Korea.

Only when Kim steps down at an early date, can the personal affairs failure be halted.
