The present chief executive in south Korea designated Jong Song Gun with no qualifications as a candidate for the minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism and is insisting on his appointment, the editorial noted, and went on:

She is sticking to her self-righteous policy instead of seeking understanding and reflection.

She shielded Jong who told a lie even at the confirmation hearing, sparking furor.

The second-term cabinet was formed due to the ferry Sewol disaster.

The cabinet should do its best, regarding the lesson taught by the ferry Sewol disaster as its administrative tasks. However, the new cabinet is little different from the old one as it brought Jong Hong Won back to his office and attempted to appoint Jong Song Gun.

The regime is infected with a "terminal cancer" as it depends on the confidants quite contrary to the people's demand for reflection and policy switchover.
