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...

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

Fall is my second favorite season of a year. Leaves turn into beautiful colors, skies are high and blue, and nice cool breeze feel so good. 

On this perfect Saturday of the Autumn season, I headed to the Shincheonji's Bible Seminar 'Fulfilled Realities of the Entire Book of Revelation.' 

Before I share what I thought about the lecture, I want to share one thing that strucked me after the lecture. I was so surprise to hear the age of Chairman Lee, the lecturer of today's seminar after the lecture. His lecture was energetic and powerful that it was jaw dropping to hear that he is 93 years old!! I think seeing a 93-year-old person giving a lecture for an hour itself is one of the reasons to believe that it is not man's work. 

Throughout the lecture, he emphasized that he is only testifying what he has seen and heard about the fulfillment of Revelation. I think that he repeatedly said this to let people know that he is not saying something he made up, researched, or studied. In other words, he wants people to understand that he is delivering the facts about the work of God in which God has promised through His Son Jesus Christ.

When things did not happened, people can make guess by studying. It is only guess, not fact or unchanging truth. However, when things happen, people cannot manipulate the fact because there is evidence. Just like this, because Revelation, the prophecy, is fulfilled there is only one fact and this becomes unchanging truth. Because Revelation is fulfilled and Chairman Lee saw and heard its fulfillment, he is testifying its fulfillment and wanting people to know the greatest truth of human history.

We should try to know the truth, not swimming among many guesses and assumption. If we are the intellect of 21st century and want to be true religious people, we should open our mind and listen to the testimony of the witness.

If you missed the seminar, no worries!! We are living in the greatest time of all time! Thanks to development of technology and internet, you can always listen to this lecture on YouTube at your convenience!!
