DKZ Kyung-yoon, despite his parents' suspicions, remains 'ignorant of JMS'

Kyungyoon, a member of the group DKZ, opened up about his parents' 'pseudo-believers' theory. This is because suspicions arose that Kyung-yoon's parents were related to a church affiliated with the Christian Gospel Mission (JMS). Kyung-yoon is maintaining his stance of 'I had no idea.' However, the 'religious views' that Kyung-yoon revealed in the past lowered the credibility of the claim.

On the 7th, DKZ's agency, Dong-Yo Entertainment, explained the circumstances of the controversy through its fan cafe. First, "As a result of checking myself and my family in relation to the business run by the family of DKZ member Kyung Yoon, which is posted on SNS and the web, Kyung Yoon said that his parents did not attend until after checking many people's “I thought it was a normal church,” he said.

He continued, "Gyeongyun was also shocked after seeing the contents of the broadcast, and the business run by his family will immediately cease operations. At the same time, we will confirm all aspects related to the specific organization and clearly state that we will leave. the school and have no connection with it in the future." He said.

The agency said, "Ignorance is not an excuse, but we do not have the slightest intention to defend the crime or claim that it was for the benefit of a specific group. We once again apologized to everyone who felt uncomfortable due to this incident. " “I give it to you,” he added.

The controversy over JMS came to light when the OTT Netflix documentary 'I Am God' was released. The documentary covered the corruption of religious organizations such as JMS, Odaeyang, Agadongsan, and Manmin Central Church. In particular, the stories and claims of those who have been harmed by religious groups caused a great shock.

Here, places related to JMS spread through online communities. Among the places involved was a cafe run by Kyung-yoon's parents. Additionally, there are claims that Kyung-yoon's parents were executive-level figures within JMS. However, Kyungyoon did not provide an explanation in this regard.

Kyung-yoon said he had 'no idea' about all the controversy. Along with the explanation, Kyung-yoon's past interviews are attracting attention. Kyung-yoon said in an interview, "(I) am a Christian. My aunt is a pastor, and she always prays for us. I heard that church people all over the country who know she also pray for each of our members by name. .Prayers “I hope the members can work without getting tired,” he said.

Given all the circumstances, the claim that 'I didn't know' is losing credibility. The fact that he is a person related to JMS puts a lot of pressure on his activities in the entertainment industry.

Myeongseok Jeong, known as the president of JMS, is a person who made a big impact in society. He was accused of continuously and forcibly sexually assaulting a female believer. Myungseok Jung was sentenced to 10 years in prison on this charge and was released at the end of his term in 2018. Even after being released from prison, he sexually assaulted numerous women, and was arrested and indicted again in October of last year.

The parents' fraudulent activities cannot interfere with Kyung-yoon's entertainment industry activities. Even if it is controversial, it is still an issue surrounding parents. However, if this explanation included lies, the way we look at the incident changes. Numerous suspicions are still demanding Kyung-yoon's position. A clearer explanation is needed.
