Shincheonji regarding church buildings 

and affiliated organizations

Shincheonji church submitted the list of 1,100 church buildings and affiliated organizations on 22nd of Feb. including churches, offices, educational centers, meeting rooms, mission centers, mission churches, cultural centers, seminar rooms and student council centers in Korea as of the end of January. A total of 1,529 places announced at General Meeting on 12th of Jan. includes land which is people cannot be gathered, parking lots, warehouses, privately owned and privately rented buildings. And this is the number of institutions, not the number of buildings. For real estate, it is no managed by the administrative system. it is checked by a file reported from each church. Since there was a place where the address is wrong, missing and already closed place, we checked again. A total of 1,903 lists including land, warehouse, house, dormitory, privately owned and rented were provided to the health authorities on 28th of Feb. (As of the end of January 2020)

1) Shincheonji church said that there are more than 240,000 congregants. However, the Center for Disease Control received the list of 212,000 people Why is it different? The list of 240,000 includes congregants of overseas churches. Shincheonji church provided the list of 21,239 congregants in Korea on 25th of Feb. and 33,281 congregants in overseas to the health authorities. 

2) Shincheonji church deliberately excluded and provided the list of trainees to the Center for Disease Control?

The list of trainees was requested by the Centers for Disease Control on 27th of Feb. and was provided immediately. Since trainees are not official Shincheonji church congregants, Shincheonji church cannot provide it arbitrarily. So, it was provided under the condition that the health authorities are legally responsible for the leakage of the list.

3) Nationwide Shincheonji victims organization sued Shincheonji representative for violating the Infectious Disease Prevention Act insisting refusal to submit data and submission or concealment of false data. Isn't it concealment of data?

Shincheonji church submitted accurate data to the health authorities. Shincheonji church is actively providing the data and cooperating as requested by the health authorities. So, it is not true that a member of a group that criticizes Shincheonji church sued for violating the Infectious Disease Prevention Act insisting refusal to submit data and submission or concealment of false data of Shincheonji church. Regarding sue for embezzlement/breaches in 2019, the group and its members that criticizes Shincheonji church accused representatives of Shincheonji church for embezzlement and malpractice. Therefore, the investigation was conducted at Gwacheon Police Station. And currently it is sent to Anyang Branch Office. This is duplicate accusation.
