, you saw what the Panda Team delivered yesterday (19th).

Even though Former Chairman Soon-Young Choi did not have the money to pay the taxes and surcharges, there was a religious foundation called the Torchlight Foundation in the background of being able to stay in a luxury villa in Gangnam, Seoul.

Today, I will dig into the foundation's assets and carefully examine whether there is any way to collect money from the former chairman Choi.



First, reporter Kim Kwan-jin.

Area in Yangjae-dong, Seoul.



The Torchlight Mission Center, the headquarters of the Torch Foundation, the former Chairman Soon-Young Choi, the chairman of the Foundation's wife Hyung-Ja Lee, and the family of two sons live in luxury villas.



Among them, the building and site of the Torch Mission Center owned by the Foundation are 9397 square meters, and the publicly announced land price alone is over 53 billion won.



The Torch Foundation lent this Torch Mission Center building to Onnuri Church and received a large sum.



[Choi Soon-young/Former Chairman of Shin Dong-A Group (2013): He told me to rent all of his house and everything, and to pay 60 billion won (won).

At first, Onnuri Church hesitated, and then paid 60 billion won to jeonse.] A



total of 72.3 billion won, including 26 billion won in 2009 and 35 billion won in 2013, passed from the church to the foundation.



[Pastor Bong-sik Bee/Church and Faith: (According to the articles of association of the Torch Foundation) I cannot do such a rental business.

It's in the name of rent, but in the end, Choi Soon-young received the enormous amount he needed, and you can see it like this.]



It is a farmland in Anseong, Gyeonggi-do.



The Torch Foundation has over 269,000㎡ of land in Anseong, including this farmland.



This farmland has a large reservoir and has been bought since 1992, saying it is for business purposes such as ranch land.



[Neighboring real estate agent: I take those foreigners here and farm them.

In the city, the (reservoir) walk is done.

Almost half of the construction on Dulle-gil was done.] The



actual transaction price is around 1 million won per 3.3㎡.



[Neighboring real estate agent: I still pay taxes.

(Closer) There are some that are owned by Mr. Lee Hyung-



ja

All of the foundation real estate reported by the Torch Foundation to Seoul is 278,253 square meters, and the reported amount is 98.9 billion won.



Until the end, with the help of a local realtor, the Panda team determined the actual transaction price, and calculated the total property based on the publicly announced land price and the amount reported by the Foundation for lands and buildings that were difficult to pay the actual transaction price.



The estimated property of the Torch Foundation, which came out in this way, amounts to 180 billion won.



Former Chairman Choi's wife, Hyung-Ja Lee, serves as the chairman of the Foundation as well as another corporation, Torchlight Academy.



This academy was given a part of the mission center building and site from the Torch Foundation. If this is included, the related property is estimated at 210 billion won.



As a result of the Panda Team's coverage to the end, there are properties that the Torch Academy did not report.



A villa in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do.



The entire villa, consisting of 19 households, is owned by Torchlight Academy.



[Villa security guard: I lived in my office and stayed with the student dormitory.

Students who have not married professors.]



The market price of this villa purchased by Torchlight Academy in 1996 and 1999 is estimated to be around 5 billion won.
