What is the real reason Jeon Kwang-hoon, who declared himself a patriot, stood in the square?
In SBS'I want to know', broadcast on the 5th, the subtitle of'Shepherd in the square-Patriot Pastor Jeon Kwang-hoon and Sarang First Church' tracked the connection between the Corona 19 group infection and Sarang First Church.
In August, there was news that a corona19 confirmed person escaped from Pohang and Paju. A woman in her 40s, who fled from Pohang with only a Bible, was found by the police several hours later, and a man in her 50s in Paju was arrested the next day for fleeing due to personal threats during treatment. And they were members of Sarangjeil Church.
The acquaintances of those who escaped explained, "I believe that the test results are falsely manipulated in order to suppress the church. So even if a positive test comes out, they think that they are false and run away."
And their thoughts were consistent with Pastor Kwang-Hoon Jeon's, who believed they were gods. He argued on the conspiracy theory that the current government is terrorizing the virus to suppress them on August 14, when 19 church-related confirmed cases were released. And the next day, they were planning a rally to impeach President Moon Jae-in. When asked if he had any intention of holding an online rally, he went out to Gwanghwamun Square with a huge number of church members saying that he had no cases of infection outdoors. And he was confirmed for Corona 19.
In one day, the number of confirmed church-related cases increased to more than 40, and from this, another crisis came to Korea. There were over 1,000 confirmed cases related to Sarang Church 17 days after the first confirmed case was released.
However, the church side claimed that it was blaming the church for the government's failure to quarantine, saying, "It is a witch hunt."
It also added that it is a political abuse to prevent outdoor gatherings.
Therefore, infectious medicine specialists said, "In a situation where an unspecified number of people crowded together toward the podium and shouted and shouted slogans together, the risk of conversation, eating and drinking without a mask, and shaking hands would be different from indoors. It is high".
However, the church questioned its intentions, saying that it would be strange to test the attendees.
Experts argued, "If there is no confirmed person at the Gwanghwamun rally, there is no need to test. For epidemiological investigation, the same method as now was applied, but it is not witch hunting."
In addition, experts said that the spread of corona from Sarang Jeil Church should pay attention to the end of July, two weeks ago.
It is likely that it started in late July to early August due to the nature of the disease that is onset and transmitted through the incubation period.
And during the interview, the production crew confirmed that the meeting was held at the church from July, and the members of the congregation had room and board to stay.
At that time, Jeon Kwang-hoon gave a sermon to the congregation, saying, "Mobilize more than a thousand people in Gwanghwamun Square. Risk your life. When should you be martyred? Should I be martyred at this time?"
In addition, on August 20, Pastor Kwang-Hoon Jeon made a statement on the Internet, stating, "I can never ignore the criminal act of trying to transfer all responsibilities to me by selling Pastor Jeon Kwang-hoon as a person who spreads the Wuhan virus in China." Also announced.
In addition, the church lawyers predicted that they would respond legally to the police, as well as Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun, deputy Mayor of Seoul, Minister of Health and Welfare, and President Moon Jae-in.
It is that they hunt witches as their hosts, who are victims of false quarantine failure.
Before the 8.15 meeting, the members of Sarang Jeil Church went to the church singing the national anthem.
Congregational events from all over the country continued for three days, and Jeon Gwang-hoon emphasized through a sermon that "We must make a revolution for the whole country. If you are a citizen with a Korean ID card, come to Gwanghwamun Plaza."
And on August 2nd, one of the believers was confirmed for coronavirus.
Accordingly, the local government notified the church to quarantine and self-isolate and inspect contacts, but the church rejected it by insisting on religious repression.
Experts said, "While the quarantine was not properly quarantined here, this became a catalyst that caused an explosive increase, and it became a facilitator for people there to spread to the provinces. The whole was not attributed to Sarang Jeil Church, but a large part was caused by the Sarang First Church and Gwanghwamun assembly. It is correct," he analyzed.
The protest on August 15, when more than 1,400 groups took part in the protest.
The production crew inquired to find the organizers, and some of the organizations they met claimed to be irrelevant to Jeon Kwang-hoon.
However, advertisements about the protests appeared in the four major daily newspapers.
Pastor Kwang-Hoon Jeon was the adviser of the group that encouraged participation, and the departure locations of charter buses nationwide and contact information for the lead were also provided.
Accordingly, the production team went out to find the person in charge.
One of them swears abusive language and threatens the production crew, and another leader replied, "I received grace through Pastor Kwang-Hoon Jeon.
And a leader in Pohang said, "We are the largest patriotic group in Pohang. We went to defend liberal democracy. It was Pastor Kwang-Hoon Jeon who awakened me."
Accordingly, the production team confirmed the contents of Jeon Kwang-hoon's sermon once again.
Jeon Kwang-hoon said, "I can't forgive Kim Jong-un's servant, Moon Jae-in, the general commander of the spies of the Republic of Korea. We have organized 60 trillion won to feed the people and use them in the general election. Our people are stupid, so if you feed them, you will get rid of them. "I want to dedicate it to me," said President Moon Jae-in, a spy, and the April 15 general election was a manipulation, and the Republic of Korea was communized and disappeared.
Those who followed Jeon Kwang-hoon's words argued that "This is almost Jesus. Syngman Rhee's founding ideology, liberal democracy. Let's go out with this. He is an existing god. Pastor Kwang-hoon Jeon is guarding the Republic of Korea that Satan wants to occupy."
The expert said, "Jeon Kwang-hoon has led to anti-communism. He has the ability to scrape the itch and satisfy the cravings of saints who are nostalgic about industrialization." "And it is a great benefit to those who lead the community of faith, which in turn strengthens the power of subordination."
An informant who was an early saint at Sarang Jeil Church said that Pastor Kwang-hoon Jeon was a person who had no interest in politics, let alone views.
When he began to support Lee Myung-bak, he expanded his connections in the political world and became a religious giant.
And he said, "I need 10 billion won by April 15th next year."
And he argued that everything was to protect the country and nation from communism, and that it was because of patriotism.
Was it all because of patriotism that Jeon Kwang-hoon went to Gwanghwamun?
Former lawmakers such as Moon Gyeong-wook and Kim Jin-tae attended his rally, and many other political figures came to the rally and gave speeches.
And they insisted on the manipulation of the 4.15 general election.
However, they insisted that there is no relationship with Jeon Kwang-hoon.
And the future united party also added, "It has nothing to do with Pastor Kwang-Hoon Jeon. We have never been together."
But last winter, Jeon Kwang-hoon was by his side when Hwang Gyo-an, the predecessor of the Future Unification Party, declared a fast.
Hwang Gyo-an also participated in the Moon Jae-in Haya rally with Jeon Kwang-hoon.
The expert explained, "If it had not been for the title of representative of Hangi-chong, he would not have been so prominent. The Protestant Union Hangi-chong was an organization that represented conservatives and religious circles, but at the time Jeon Kwang-hoon became representative, its representativeness was blurred."
In addition, he added, "The power of Pastor Kwang-Hoon Jeon was at the center of the far right, which became weakened in Korea, and as he became the representative of Ki-Chong Han, he had a plausible title.
Jeon Kwang-hoon, who emphasized his title several times in sermons after becoming CEO of Ki-Chong Han.
However, it was revealed that the total membership denominations of Hangi-Chong were 18% and the number of believers was only 3%.
So how was he able to grow into a big figure?
Experts said, "Jeon Kwang-hoon is a speaker. From their point of view, he plays the role of a speaker that can be thrown coolly even if he is illegal. The reason Hwang Gyo-an joined with him was probably because he had the ability to mobilize the public. And a large church pastor From the perspective of the field, they will be grateful for doing what they cannot.”
Another expert also said, "There should be a movement to make the church full, and that is the anti-North Korea movement and slavery. That is to show one's presence." He said that there is a church force that supports the way of creating external enemies and uniting the inside.
And officials pointed out former Justice Minister Kim Seung-gyu as a person to be noted.
He was a person who shared his will with Jeon Kwang-hoon and gave his legal advice.
He also explained that his strength has grown even further as the past presidents of Ki-Chong Han supported Jeon Kwang-hoon.
Pastor Gwang-seon Lee, the 16th representative, said, "I follow the Bible and follow my mission. I know the dangers and I have to stop the corona, but the reason they gathered is because there is something more urgent and important than that."
In addition, when Pastor Kwang-Hoon Jeon gave financial support to the former representatives of Ki-Chong Han, he said, "You know whether I received it or not. No such thing. I respect and like the Jeung-gyeong general presidents, so I understand that I'm saying such flawless words." I just cut it because he never received money from him.
However, Jeon Gwang-hoon's aide said, "I give money every time I meet adults."
Another official also explained, "It becomes a link. Once you start receiving money once or twice, you can't curse him."
On this day, the production team met Jeon Kwang-hoon in person.
Jeon Kwang-hoon said to the production crew, "The more I dig, the more impressive things happen." "I am the #1 loved one of the best adults, but I like it because they are doing a patriotic movement that they couldn't. "Will it be?" he said confidently.
In addition, for the reason for the 8.15 rally, he said, "In the official one-punch group, the court and Rep. Min Gyeong-wook participated in it because 3,000 people were permitted." Islam is asking the politics to stop discrimination, and the politicians are trying to use our votes.”
However, he drew a line that he had no real relationship with political figures and explained, "It's just to use each other."
Experts said, "If Jeon Kwang-hoon gathers and Hwang Gyo-an doesn't wave his hand, would it have grown to this extent? This responsibility is not the fault of Jeon Kwang-hoon. The ministers who protect themselves from the inside, and the political forces from the outside are all responsible." did.
Pastor Kwang-Hoon Jeon, who resigned as CEO of Ki-Chong Han on the 21st, what is his dream of?
He encouraged the congregation to donate, saying that he would create a world Christian office comparable to that of the Roman Vatican.
In addition, he continued to preach biased sermons to members of the church by encouraging subscribers to internet broadcasting channels.
However, it seemed that the purpose of encouraging the YouTube channel was not just biased sermons.
Another purpose was to obtain profits through donations and donations.
In fact, the proceeds earned through donations by channels related to Sarang Jeil Church were among the highest among all channels in the world.
The profits earned after opening the channel were estimated to be around 280 million won.
And not only this, but also the donation that continuously guides the sponsor account and delegates the disposition authority to Jeon Kwang-hoon.
Even in a grim situation, his supporters claimed that he was a symbol of poverty.
However, during the interview, it was revealed that the residential-commercial apartment, which is called the landmark of Seongbuk-gu, was sold in the name of Jeon Kwang-hoon's wife.
In response, Jeon Kwang-hoon said, "The elders bought an apartment without my permission. What they just said. Who told me to buy something like this? If you buy it under their name, you will get tax, so she bought it as a private house because she used her name." While the elders told me to live there until the daughter had a child, the daughter now lives.”
And he said that he never used donations privately, and that he spent about 30 billion won for patriotic campaigns, and about 5 billion won a year for the patriotic campaign.
Recently, it was revealed that the church where Pastor Kwang-Hoon Jeon is in charge is protecting the church against demolition services.
The church located in the redevelopment area is against the demolition due to the issue of compensation.
In particular, they were holding on by demanding 56 billion won, which is seven times the amount set by the Seoul city of 8 billion.
The reason why believers from all over the country stay and eat in the church was to prevent the demolition of the church.
In response, the church side said, "I was with you to defend against the redevelopment demolition. We stayed together not for a few days. It was because we had to protect the church."
And the church members who revealed these details to the production crew were confirmed as coronavirus after talking on the phone, and were transferred to the hospital and attracted attention.
Pastor Kwang-Hoon Jeon said, "Because we are trying to enter the forced execution, we have no choice but to withstand. We value the church more than life. The virus spread as we stayed in the church," said Pastor Gwang-hoon Jeon. That's why,” he argued.
Finally, the crew mentioned the Christian teaching to love neighbors to Pastor Kwang-Hoon Jeon.
In response, Jeon Kwang-hoon replied, "In Jesus' mouth, there were more words of hating than saying that I love you. There is no love that has broken justice."
In response, Professor Tak Ji-il said, "Respect for life and love for neighbors are the teachings of Jesus Christ. Pastor Kwang-Hoon Jeon's political bias and understanding of the self-centered situation, and various roles in preventing or preventing the spread of Corona 10 infection. It is necessary to see if the two values are contained in it."
In addition, Pastor Jeong-Hwan Kim of the Committee on the Countermeasures of the Korean Energy Committee was bitter, saying, "From the Christian side, it hurts so much. God and the people seem to have turned away."
Broadcasting said that in 2020, most churches except for some churches do non-face-to-face worship, hold events, and observe the quarantine guidelines, not because the pastors and believers lack faith.
He also emphasized that when it is time to believe in medicine and keep distance, it will be the role of a true pastor to show the way.
