International Concern Grows Over South Korea's Detention of 95-Year-Old Religious Leader

The recent detention and prosecution of Chairman Lee Man-hee, the 95-year-old leader of the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, has sparked intense scrutiny from international human rights and religious freedom organizations. Legal experts and sociologists worldwide are raising critical questions regarding South Korea’s adherence to global human rights standards and the principle of state neutrality. The Controversy Surrounding the Detention On June 24, 2026, South Korean authorities took Chairman Lee into custody on charges related to the Political Parties Act, followed by a formal indictment on June 30. Prosecutors allege that between July 2021 and January 2024, the church organized the enrollment of approximately 50,000 members into the ruling People Power Party (PPP) to influence internal primaries. However, the legal dispute does not center on party membership itself, but on whether coercion was involved. While prosecutors allege a forced campaign, Shincheonji Church maintains that all p...

[Daejeon] Shincheonji Bible Seminar - Fulfilled Realities of the Entire Book of Revelation

Daejeon, the city of technology and research institutions, is located in the central-west region of South Korea alongside forested hills and the Geum River. This is the city I loved the most because many of my good friends live here. In this city, Shincheonji Bible Seminar 'Fulfilled Realities of the Entire Book of Revelation' was held on October 11th, 2023.


After listening to the lecture, I questioned myself "was there anytime when I regret about 'not trying something?'" Often times, I regret about not trying rather than trying. If I tried, I don't regret so much because even if the result was not good, at least I gave a shot. 


The reason such thought came to my mind is because the Chairman Lee asked two questions. "What if I am the promised pastor of the Bible (New Covenant)?" and "What if I am the one who God/Jesus gave the judgment to?"

This can be true or false. But in order to find out whether or not this is true, I should try to listen to the teaching. Make my mind after listening does not hurt. However, making decision without listening to will hurt me badly... What if it is real???? What if I do not learn this teaching but it turns out that he is the promised pastor and one with the judgment? Especially because Bible and Faith is about life and death, I don't want to risk it.


At the end, if you really care about your spirit, soul, and your life, I suggest you not to risk yourself but to listen to this teaching. Though live seminar is over, you can always go to Shincheonji's YouTube Channel and watch replay.
