[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] A complaint demanding social costs due to the spread of COVID-19 has been filed with the police against Sarang Jeil Church and Pastor Jeon Gwang-hoon, which are considered hotspots for mass infections of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in the Seoul metropolitan area.

On the 1st, the Patriotic Citizens' Movement Coalition led by Oh Cheondo submitted a complaint to the Seoul Guro Police Station claiming compensation against Sarang Jeil Church, Pastor Jeon, and the Christian Council of Korea (Han Ki-chong).

Before submitting the complaint, Representative Oh held a press conference and said, "Pastor Jeon came out to Gwanghwamun, contracted COVID-19, and spread it," adding, "He caused a waste of taxpayers' money. We must thoroughly claim compensation from them and make them pay out of their own pockets." He continued, "If they hold joint worship services and socially cause and spread COVID-19, we will continue to take legal action."

On the same day, Representative Oh also criticized the doctors' strike and filed a complaint accusing the president of the Korean Medical Association, Choi Dae-jip, of murder by implied intent.

Earlier, on the 27th of last month, the organization had also filed a complaint against Pastor Jeon for violating the Basic Disaster and Safety Management Act, the Assembly and Demonstration Act, the Health and Welfare Act, and the Infectious Disease Control and Prevention Act. At that time, Representative Oh also filed complaints against Joo Ok-soon, head of the Mom Unit, and Shin Hye-sik, head of the YouTube channel 'God's Hand,' for spreading false information and obstructing official duties.
