[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Juhyung] Pastor Park Joongsup of Sarang Jeil Church emphasized in a YouTube video on the 12th that "the senior pastor of Sarang Jeil Church is still Pastor Jeon Gwanghoon."

On the same day, Pastor Park appeared on the YouTube channel 'YouKnowTV' and stated, "There are rumors that the senior pastor of Sarang Jeil Church has changed," adding, "We are obedient to the Word under the direction of Pastor Jeon, who is at the center."

He continued, "Although Pastor Jeon is currently imprisoned, he will surely be released soon, and we will accomplish the history of the Jesus Kingdom and gospel unification that we have cherished so far," adding, "The church will move toward the new Jerusalem we envision without any disruption, centered on Pastor Jeon."

Meanwhile, Pastor Jeon was re-incarcerated at Seoul Detention Center on the 7th following a court decision to revoke his bail. This court decision came 140 days after Pastor Jeon was released on bail on April 20.

At that time, the court explained the reason for revoking bail, stating, "There is a reason to violate the designated condition under Article 102, Paragraph 2, Item 5 of the Criminal Procedure Act." The court also confiscated 30 million won out of the 50 million won bail bond posted by Pastor Jeon.

Previously, Pastor Jeon was indicted in March this year on charges including pre-election campaigning at gatherings such as the Seoul Gwanghwamun Square rally ahead of the 21st general election and defamation against President Moon Jaein, and was released on bail while awaiting trial.

At that time, the court imposed several conditions when granting bail. Among the conditions was the prohibition of participating in any gatherings or demonstrations that could be related to the case or illegal.

However, Pastor Jeon attended a rally led by conservative groups held at Seoul Gwanghwamun on the 15th of last month. Subsequently, the prosecution filed a request to revoke his bail on the 16th, the day after the rally, citing violation of bail conditions.
