Park Geun Hye appointed Ri Pyong Gi, ex-director of the IS, to the post of presidential chief of staff of Chongwadae and informally designated Ri Pyong Ho to the post of director of the IS, the editorial said.

Ri Pyong Gi described the May 16 military coup as "an action which contributed to defending and developing liberal democracy" at a confirmation hearing, sparking off uproar, the editorial noted, and went on:

Ri Pyong Ho also caused furor in the south Korean society for his speculation.

The case of Won Se Hun now in custody for interference in the "presidential election" and appointment of Ri Pyong Gi and designation of Ri Pyong Ho, both following in the footsteps of the former, will make the people more vocal demanding the dissolution of the IS, the editorial concluded.
