The editorial recalled that the chief executive recently set forth tasks for social reform as regards the ferry Sewol disaster but none of them related to the disaster have been carried out.

It urged the chief executive to reform herself, instead of remaking society, and lend her ear to the voices of the bereaved families and the people, to begin with.
