1.8 million YouTuber exposes JMS missionary methods
Recently, Hyojin Cho, who runs the YouTube channel ‘Hyojinjo’, confessed her experience related to JMS. He said, "I was bullied by JMS for 3 months in the past. It was a whopping 10 years ago."
He went on to say, “They said they approach a lot of women in their early 20s who have a lot of worries,” and that he also contacted JMS after seeing an advertisement for a hobby class that said it would “teach college students for free.”
Jo Hyo-jin said, "I'm interested in fashion, so I applied to do clothing-making activities, and they told me I had to submit a portfolio or job application and go for an interview. There were a lot of different female college students. I'm probably the type of person who can fake an interview." “I think it was a procedure to check if it was true,” he said.
At this time, Mr. A, who introduced himself as an instructor, approached Jo Hyo-jin. He recalled that time, saying, “She listened to my story like a real sister and introduced me to many people who could help me.”
Jo Hyo-jin met a model-like woman through Ms. A. He said, "She was a very tall and pretty person who looked like a celebrity. She was talking about her life and said, 'It's important to have a good mentality,' and then she talked about mental health training. From then on, something was strange. Suddenly, ' He mentioned, “The story of ‘God’ came up. The meeting with the religious leader was slowly getting closer.”
Afterwards, based on their recommendation, he visited a company that was promoting a 'model talent donation program'. He said that during the interview at the time, the interviewers asked whether she had a boyfriend or not. The idea was that if you want to join the company, you must not have a boyfriend.
Jo Hyo-jin said, "When I told her that my boyfriend was in the military, he suddenly told me to stop using my cell phone starting tomorrow. He told me that I couldn't contact anyone and that I had to focus on this to find my career path. At that time, I got goosebumps from head to toe." He said.
He said, "When I came to my senses and looked around, I noticed a photo that looked like a religious leader and some strange verses that were not from the Bible. After that, I immediately blocked Mr. A, and I was scared, so I changed my number." "When I looked at them, they were all women. It seemed like they were targeting young, mentally unstable people," he explained.
Currently, JMS leader Jeong Myeong-seok is under arrest and indictment on charges of repeated sexual assault on female believers. He is accused of sexually assaulting a female believer 17 times from February 2018 to September 2021, and sexually assaulting an Australian believer 5 times from July 2018 to the end of that year.
