‘I Am God’ PD “I heard there is JMS in MBC too”
On the 10th, a press conference for the Netflix documentary 'I Am God: People Who God Betrayed' was held at the Lotte Hotel in Sogong-dong, Seoul. Producer Cho Seong-hyeon, who directed the production, attended.
‘I Am God: The People God Betrayed’ is a Netflix documentary series that tracks the ‘Messiahs’ in modern Korean history and the events and people behind them. JMS dealt with the true nature of Jeong Myeong-seok. JMS President Myungseok Jeong was arrested and indicted on charges of committing sexual violence (quasi-rape, quasi-rape, quasi-rape, forcible molestation, forcible molestation) against two female believers on 17 occasions from 2018 to 2019, and was sentenced to the 12th Division of the Daejeon District Court Criminal Agreement (Presiding Judge Sang-hoon Na). ) is on trial. Previously, President Chung was sentenced to 10 years in prison on similar charges in April 2009 and was released in February 2018. Immediately after his release from prison, he was arrested and handed over to trial in October last year on charges of forcibly molesting or quasi-raping a female Hong Kong citizen on a total of 17 occasions at a training center in Geumsan-gun, South Chungcheong Province, between February 2018 and September 2021.
Professor Kim Do-hyung of Dankook University, who is the head of the anti-JMS group 'Exodus' that has been tracking it for over 30 years, appeared on KBS1's 'The Live' broadcast live on the 9th and exposed the true nature of JMS. Professor Kim appeared on 'I Am God' and testified that his father was terrorized by JMS believers due to his activities, and that even the plastic surgeon where his father was supposed to undergo surgery at the time was a JMS believer.
On this day's broadcast, Professor Kim caused a stir by revealing that KBS also has JMS. The public is also watching with interest to see who the JMS believers are in the entertainment industry. ‘Detection work’ is being done both at KBS and in the entertainment industry.
Producer Cho said, “What surprised me while covering the story was that even among those who are considered high-ranking people, there are many believers of the commonly talked about pseudo-religion throughout society. As a person living in a country where religious freedom is guaranteed by the constitution, I cannot say that it is wrong for those people to believe in religion. “I had a variety of emotions when I saw that happen yesterday,” he said. When asked if he ever thought he was on MBC, he said, “I also heard that he was on MBC. 'Why is information leaked like this?' “When I did it, I doubted whether he was on the team and asked Netflix to check to see if he was also on the team,” he confessed. He continued, “It could be anywhere. But will we hunt down those people? “They just chose their religion,” he said. “If they don’t cause harm to society, it could become a witch hunt.” “The fault is not the people who believe in the religion, but the religious leaders and the people above them who create religion and lead people down the wrong path,” he emphasized.
