Catholic priests must go through a 10-year seminary period before they can receive a priestly ordination.

It is not easy to disobey a priest who is a professor at Catholic University.

In 1998, suspicions were raised that Catholic students at Catholic University of Incheon were forcibly molested by Father A.

The victims of the seminar revealed this in the interview process with a foreign missionary priest, and the Catholic Church at that time had arranged for Father A to leave the parish and ended the situation.

However, with the coverage of SBS 'I Want to Know It', things at that time were revealed in more than 20 years.

Catholic Incheon Diocese again went to the facts and said today, "I confirmed that 9 priests were hurt by the priest at that time."

The Incheon Diocese acknowledged that disciplinary measures were insufficient at the time and took steps to disqualify Father A's bride.

SBS 'I want to know that' will be released on the air tomorrow night to reveal the whole story of this case.
