Kyunghyang Daily News in an editorial recalled that there is social chaos because of the decision on the deployment of THAAD.

The "government" is claiming that the deployment of THAAD makes it possible to protect "the security of the people" but it is sophism and mockery of the people, the editorial said.

The south Korean paper Hangyore said in an editorial the claim that the deployment of THAAD neither adversely affect the health of the local residents nor damage the crops has not been verified at all.
