[Asia Economy Reporter Shinwon Yoon] Lee Man-hee, the chairman of Shincheonji Church of Jesus (Shincheonji), refused to answer the question "Do you think you are immortal?" during a press conference related to the COVID-19 outbreak on the 2nd.

He held a press conference in front of the "Palace of Peace" in Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi Province, saying, "As the representative of Shincheonji, I sincerely apologize to the people," and added, "Immediately after the outbreak of COVID-19, we actively cooperated with the government to prevent and overcome the spread. We will do our best not to spare any human or material support to the government."

After reading a prepared statement, Chairman Lee took questions from reporters. When a reporter asked, "Do you think you are immortal (永生不死, living forever without dying)?" he avoided answering and shouted, "Please be quiet," and "We are all saints. If this continues, it will become a chaotic scene."

Immortality is one of Shincheonji's core doctrines, which distorts Revelation 20:4-7 to claim that "martyrs and Shincheonji believers unite to reign for 1,000 years."
