Seth, ROC's Naro-1 had a lot of failures as well before it was successfully launched. It's quite normal. Besides article you're referring to isn't full, second launch in December, 2012 was successful.

Was that the one that put the satellite into orbit which quickly lost control and fell out of orbit?   They can't even keep a satellite in orbit.  Grats to them to finally make it to orbit.

That's a problem of satellite not a rocket, rocket did it's job. Besides you seem to underestimate what huge role failures have played in the early era of space age, compare it to a history of Soviet and US space programs before their working horses have achieved >95% reliability rate :) DPRK rockets might be sucky but ROK rockets are equally as sucky then.
