[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] As a result of analyzing the list of believers secured through an administrative investigation against Shincheonji Church of Jesus (Shincheonji), the government confirmed that there was little difference from the list initially submitted by Shincheonji.

On the 17th, according to the prosecution, forensic personnel from the Supreme Prosecutors' Office dispatched to the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters (CDSCH) confirmed this fact while supporting data analysis.

The prosecution believes that suspicions such as intentional omission of believers from the list have been somewhat resolved based on the analysis results. However, it is reported that the amount of data secured through the administrative investigation, beyond the believers' list, is vast, and they continue to assist CDSCH's analysis work.

Earlier, on the 5th, the Supreme Prosecutors' Office deployed forensic specialists and equipment to support data acquisition during the administrative investigation of the Shincheonji church headquarters. From the 6th, about five digital forensic specialists were dispatched to CDSCH to assist in analyzing the list of believers and trainees received from Shincheonji, as well as attendance records by worship service.
