I mentioned earlier that there are many people gathered in one place in the church, so it is more likely to be infected. Our coverage confirms that the people of the Church had large educational meetings with prospective members until recently.

The news was reported by Son Hyung-an.

The building opposite the Shincheonji Daegu Church, the 5th and 6th floors, was rented by a group for the study of the humanities.

This space, called the 'center' within the church, is known to be used by incumbent members to educate prospective believers.

Xintiandi has self-disinfected the center today (20th). [Builder: I only go to lectures because I'm only there. I recently took a lecture and today (the people from Xintiandi) came and sanitized.]

At the center, about 600 people can be educated together, with at least preliminary believers incumbent in attendance and virtually 1: 1 teaching.

[Former Sincheonji Daegu Church official: (Half or half the ratio of students and trainees in the center?) There will be more members than half and half. Some people manage it.]

Even though patient 31 had corona19, he attended church services on the 9th, and the center has been operating since 9th.

It is known that there are five or six more Shincheonji education centers operated in this way in Daegu alone.

[Nearby Merchant: (Shincheonji officials) I'll go back and forth hundreds. I know you went back and forth last Friday.

Former believers estimate that many Shinchon members, including confirmed incumbent members, may have contacted prospective believers between churches and centers.

[Former Sincheonji Daegu Church official: I think the center is worse than the church. Because churches take off their shoes, they don't clean well.]

SBS reporters informed the Centers for Disease Control and Daegu City after the report.
