[Shincheonji Press Release] Jeongeup Murder Case Confirms Christian Media Outlets and Self-proclaimed Heresy Experts’ Malicious Intent to Manipulate Public Opinion
The claims of Christian media outlets, including Christian Broadcasting System (CBS) and Kukmin Ilbo, and self-proclaimed heresy experts, who defended the criminal of the Jeongeup murder case that took two innocent lives and blamed the victim, were confirmed to be evident lies.
On the 22nd, Seoul Broadcasting System’s (SBS) current affairs program, “Curious Stories Y,”
aired the incident of Mr. Roh (49) who murdered his wife and his brother-in-law’s wife with a knife and put his brother-in-law in critical condition. This incident is known as the Jeongeup Murder Case, and the news program investigated the reason for the crime.
According to the brother-in-law, who agreed to an interview despite his serious injuries, his sister suffered from her husband’s violence, delusional jealousy, hot-temperament, and paraphilia from the beginning of her marriage. An acquaintance of the murdered wife also testified about Mr. Roh’s paraphilia. She added that the wife had to be the main provider for the past ten years and she tried to file for a divorce multiple times.
On the day the wife consulted with the Legal Aid Center for Family Relations about divorce, the husband committed the murder. He even foretold the crime for the reason that his brother-in-law’s family was helping his wife with the divorce. A professor of counseling psychology who appeared on the show diagnosed it as a “typical parting crime.”
As such, the crime was revealed to have no relation to religion, as it was a case of unpardonable atrocities against human beings in which his wife and innocent brother-in-law and brother-in-law’s wife suffered from the violent husband who fell into paraphilia and delusional jealousy.
However, beforehand, CBS NoCut News had asked the husband, the criminal, the leading question, “Did you commit the crime because your wife fell into Shincheonji?” and made this the main topic of the report. The Kukmin Ilbo then posted a column of a self-proclaimed heretical expert on the 28th of last month saying, “If the victim had not attended Shincheonji, there would not have been such a mishap.” The self-proclaimed heretical expert said that the rather “felt the pain a victim suffers from the perpetrator.”
In addition, CBS NoCut News and Kukmin Ilbo reported a press conference of Pastor Oh, who consulted the criminal, where he unilaterally delivered the criminal’s claim that “the family was broken because of Shincheonji.”
Although there was enough time to check the facts after the incident, Christian media such as NoCut News and Kukmin Ilbo reported only the claims of the criminal and heresy counselor again, which is based on the intention that it does not matter if it is false reports.
The heresy counseling pastor, a self-proclaimed heresy expert, also failed to grasp the reality of the criminal, who had asked him for counseling, and his family. Even after a considerable amount of time, he still represents the criminal’s claim.
In other words, it has been accurately confirmed that the heresy expert’s counseling with the criminal was actually a witch-hunt done by a non-expert who was obsessed with the claim that “the family was ruined by Shincheonji.”
During Shincheonji Church of Jesus’s own investigation, it was revealed that there were around 100 cases of families every year who were unable to recover due to domestic violence and forceful coercive conversion, which are linked to the heresy research center pastors.
No matter how important it is to make money, the self-proclaimed heretical expert, CBS, and Kukmin Ilbo, all who defended a felon who took away two innocent lives and completely ruined the lives of two families should be held responsible for what they did.
To protect the lives of the good citizens and establish proper legal, religious, and social common sense, Shincheonji Church of Jesus will make every effort possible to hold accountable religious forces who abandon the basic principles of believers.

Five members of Shincheonji Church of Jesus have now been murdered by forced conversion pastors since 2006. Why is the government silent? Why does mainstream media do nothing? Why the complicity?
ReplyDeleteForced conversion is an amoral, barbaric practice that is rife in 21st century South Korea, with upwards of 100 cases yearly that predominantly targets members of Shincheonji Church of Jesus. These ‘conversion pastors’ carry out their work with the full support of the mainstream Korean churches, destroying lives for financial profit, and have their deeds masked by their media mouthpiece, CBS, who knowingly spread lies about Shincheonji Church of Jesus and grossly distort the general population’s perception of Shincheonji. When will the government hold conversion pastors accountable for their actions and ban forced conversion?
Heaven and earth are watching. I pray with a broken heart for all families whose lives are being ripped apart because of the ongoing complicity of state and religion in Korea.
