[Asia Economy Reporter Seunggon Han] The extreme right-wing figures, including Joo Ok-soon of the 'Mom Unit' who tested positive for COVID-19, Shin Hye-sik, the representative of the YouTube channel 'God's Hand,' and Pastor Jeon Kwang-hoon of Sarang Jeil Church, have been making outrageous remarks day after day. They expressed dissatisfaction with hospital meals and spread fake news claiming that President Moon Jae-in is persecuting churches.

On the morning of the 24th, Ms. Joo conducted a live broadcast on her YouTube channel 'Joo Ok-soon TV Mom Broadcast' and connected by phone with Pastor Jeon.

During the call, Pastor Jeon claimed, "President Moon Jae-in and the pro-Juche faction are trying to eliminate churches to turn South Korea into a socialist country."

He added, "President Moon and the pro-Juche faction have lived with the purpose of moving toward North Korea through a low-level federal system and a one nation, two systems approach over 70 years since the founding of the nation," and said, "The church is the biggest resistance force, so they know they cannot reach their goal if the Korean church remains as it is, so they are trying to persecute it."

On the morning of August 8 last year, Joo Ok-soon, the representative of the Mom Corps, is speaking at the 5th press conference for the restoration of Korea-Japan relations held in front of the former Japanese Embassy in Jongno-gu, Seoul.

He continued, "Our Sarang Jeil Church does not easily fall for persuasion, so they have put all their efforts into eliminating us," and argued, "Even though they try to eliminate us, at the moment it doesn't work, and the virus is spreading centered around the church to re-arrest me."

Especially, Pastor Jeon said, "I have been to prison several times, so it's okay if I get re-arrested," and questioned, "It is impossible to personally block the intentions of President Moon and the pro-Juche faction. If I go to prison, will there be anyone to stand in solidarity with me?"

Regarding his current health condition, Pastor Jeon said, "I had a bit of a cough, but after taking medicine, the symptoms have greatly diminished," yet he repeatedly coughed during the call.

Meanwhile, Shin Hye-sik, who tested positive for COVID-19 and was hospitalized, conducted daily live broadcasts on his YouTube channel 'God's Hand.' On the 24th, he expressed dissatisfaction with the breakfast menu during his broadcast.

Shin revealed the hospital's meal plan and said, "This kind of thing is a bit disappointing. It's not good. Salad pasta, something unheard of, I want something else. Is there no soup for dinner? Soup? Something a bit spicy..."

He also spread fake news, claiming that the residential treatment center where he is receiving treatment is a 'political prison camp,' and that he was detained simply because he tested positive despite not being sick.

Shin said, "This place is a political prisoner camp, so I worry if they might even conduct ideological verification, or if I have to shout 'Long live Moon Jae-in' three times to be released..."

Meanwhile, a current nurse criticized the abusive behavior of some COVID-19 patients.

Choi Won-young, a nurse at Seoul National University Hospital, appeared on MBC Radio's 'Kim Jong-bae's Focus' on the 24th and said that although she did not work in the COVID ward, "(Medical staff) actually work very hard, but instead of saying thank you to those who are working so hard, they make unreasonable demands, which makes me very angry."

Nurse Choi criticized conservative YouTuber Shin Hye-sik, saying, "He boasts about having a big fight with a nurse, but that nurse is very pitiful," and added, "Every time you receive a delivery or order outside food, the nurse in charge has to wear suffocating protective gear in the middle of summer. He is hospitalized because he tested positive for COVID-19, not because he is in a hotel with room service."

On the 18th, Shin had a dispute with a nurse while broadcasting from his hospital room. He said, "I was already angry before the broadcast and had a big fight with the nurse. Since the nurse is against me, I don't think they will do anything I ask anymore," and added, "If they don't allow that either, I might even resort to self-harm."

He also complained about the hospital food, saying, "I have to eat food that doesn't suit my taste and be cautious," and asked, "They say outside food is not allowed, but can't they bring in fruits that have been quarantined?"

Regarding this, Nurse Choi said, "We can deliver important items, but some people frequently order deliveries or Chinese food," and explained, "The time spent persuading them not to do so or just giving in is the same, so most of the time, after getting exhausted from disputes, we reluctantly comply with tears in our eyes."

Nurse Choi pointed out, "(YouTubers) spread incorrect information or only look at partial aspects and say things like the hospital operates this way, they don't come when called, or they detain and abuse patients, which damages the reputation of medical staff and causes unfairness," and added, "Raising conspiracy theories about the government's quarantine or treatment system and instilling distrust among the public is even worse in the current situation."

Meanwhile, it has been revealed that Joo Ok-soon and her husband have not properly cooperated with the epidemiological investigation by the health center. Gapyeong County explained, "The couple did not answer calls from the health center, gave false phone numbers under their names, and also lied about their movement paths."

Gapyeong County plans to file charges against the couple for obstructing the epidemiological investigation. According to the Infectious Disease Control and Prevention Act, refusing an epidemiological investigation without justifiable reason can result in imprisonment for up to two years or a fine of up to 20 million won.
