[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] Pastor Jeon Gwang-hoon, head pastor of Sarang Jeil Church, and former National Assembly member Cha Myung-jin, who attended the conservative rally on Liberation Day, were confirmed positive for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). It has also been confirmed that Joo Ok-soon (67), the representative of the conservative group Mom Brigade who attended this rally, was infected with COVID-19.

According to health authorities, Ms. Joo and her husband were tested for COVID-19 at a hospital in Gyeonggi Province on the 19th, and both were confirmed positive around 11 a.m. on the 20th.

Currently, health authorities are reportedly tracing the contacts and movements of Ms. Joo and her husband.

Previously, Ms. Joo participated in the conservative rally held around Gwanghwamun, Seoul, on the 15th. At that time, she was seen giving a speech with her mask hanging on her chin during the rally.

In particular, she was also seen in contact with Pastor Jeon Gwang-hoon of Sarang Jeil Church, who was confirmed positive on the 17th.

Ms. Joo conducted a live broadcast just before being confirmed positive on the morning of the 20th. During the broadcast, she mentioned feeling body aches.

In her broadcast that day, she said, "It rained a lot that day. I think it's just a cold, not COVID-19. Dr. Kim Woo-joo said that when it rains and is humid, germs do not spread, so it is not dangerous. Please pray for Pastor Jeon Gwang-hoon and others. We will never die."

Meanwhile, Pastor Jeon, former Future United Party member Cha, and Shin Hye-sik, host of the far-right YouTube channel 'Shinui Hansu,' who attended the rally that day, were also confirmed positive.
