YouTube Sermon Reveals Mobile Carrier and Credit Card Businesses
"Everyone Should Join Budget Phones... Executives of the 3 Major Carriers Are Leftists"

Pastor Jeon Gwang-hoon of Sarang Jeil Church is embroiled in controversy for making sexually harassing remarks toward medical staff during a sermon and pressuring congregants to apply for credit cards.


On the 16th, a video showing Pastor Jeon preaching that morning was posted on the YouTube channel 'NeoAra TV.' In the video, Pastor Jeon explained future plans including establishing a welfare hospital, expanding the MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) business, and issuing missionary credit cards.

First, Pastor Jeon said, "We plan to build a welfare hospital with 5,000 beds," adding, "When Christians go to heaven at the end, there will be pretty nurses. We will have them wear short skirts and have prominent chests to form a choir," making remarks close to sexual harassment.


He continued, "When you are dying, shouldn't you go to heaven while having someone beside you singing 'See you in heaven' and checking whether you have passed away or not?" He added, "Is it okay to go to a regular hospital, undergo all kinds of surgeries, and when you are about to die, have interns experiment on you here and there, and when you become a rag, just send you to the morgue?" These remarks can be interpreted as insulting medical staff.


Then Pastor Jeon said, "I really like money," and revealed, "As a prophet of this era, I organized a youth business group. Under my daughter's leadership, we started a mobile telecommunications business with an investment of 3 billion won."


He stated, "We need to switch 10 million mobile lines," emphasizing, "This is not a request but an order. This will earn 200 billion won per month." Pastor Jeon also claimed, "If you do not participate in switching carriers, your name should be erased from the Book of Life," and asserted, "All executives of the three major mobile carriers are 'leftists.'"



Not stopping there, he also pressured the issuance of 'missionary credit cards.' Pastor Jeon said, "Only NongHyup has started. If we make 10 million of these (credit cards), we can earn 2.1 billion won in cash," "Goldman Sachs approached us and said if we complete 10 million cards, they will lend us 22 trillion won interest-free for 50 years," and "Since Jesus will return in 50 years, we won't have to repay the money," among other claims.
