Yesterday early morning, someone shakes a fire-breathing device on a bus blocking the streets of a church.



There were violent acts involving dozens of Molotov cocktails, but Sarangjeil Church insisted that it was not their responsibility.



In the statement, the church emphasized that the first throwing of the Molotov cocktail was the services mobilized by the Redevelopment Union.



In 2009, even the Yongsan tragedy was discussed, and the cooperatives who exercised violence and the police who investigated partiality were struck with civil and criminal responsibility.



[Sarang First Church member: We didn't throw (flame).

Since those people just do it, we have to defend it, too.] The



police will analyze the footage at the time and conduct a summons investigation as soon as the violent actor is identified.



The merchants around Sarangjeil Church started a group action saying that they could not stand it anymore.



This is the Jangwi traditional market near Sarangjeil Church.



Merchants here are complaining of anxiety about the crash that caused the Molotov cocktail to fly.



[Park Miae/Jangwi Traditional Market Merchant: I keep popping Molotov cocktails like that every day, and I'm anxious.

I have to go out quickly, but I don't even go out.

It's stuffy.

What.

If you keep doing this, no one will appear in the market.]



120 merchants around you, claiming that they had lost sales due to the corona spread that began in the church in August, and started legal action.



[Lee Jong-ho/Attorney (Litigation Agent): The neighborhood was recognized as an evasion area as it received the stigma and stigma that it was contaminated with Corona 19, and the decrease in the floating population resulted in a significant decrease in sales, which was directly linked to the damages of merchants. ] The



merchants filed a lawsuit for damages of 580 million won against Pastor Kwang-hoon Jeon and Sarangjeil Church today.
