"JMS's Threats Become More Specific and Aggressive"

Professor Kim Dohyung, who exposed the true nature of Jeong Myeongseok, the president of the Christian Gospel Mission (JMS), is being threatened by JMS.


On the 25th, PD Cho Seonghyun, who directed the Netflix documentary "I Am God," appeared on CBS Radio's "Park Jaehong's One-on-One Match" and stated, "It feels like the threats against Professor Kim are intensifying."

Professor Kim Dohyung is the former representative of "Exodus," a group of JMS victims. For nearly 20 years, he has been exposing the true nature of JMS and the criminal acts of President Jeong, including sexual assault. While standing against JMS, his father was also severely injured in a terrorist attack by JMS, which caused facial disfigurement.


On the broadcast, PD Cho said, "There were posts on the PD Notebook bulletin board saying things like, 'Even if Kim Dohyung is sliced into 389 pieces with a knife, he would be innocent,' and 'Let's cut Kim Dohyung into 10 parts at major body areas.' Watching the situation, much more specific and aggressive language has started to be used compared to before."


He continued, "Suspicious people who have never been seen before have been observed coming and going near Professor Kim's school and office," expressing concern, "Since these things are actually happening, I am somewhat worried."

Regarding JMS's second-in-command Jeong Joeun (real name Kim Jiseon), PD Cho explained, "She was so loyal that there are even eyewitness accounts of her riding in the same vehicle as Jeong Myeongseok when he was arrested in Hong Kong and taken away by Hong Kong immigration."


He added, "During the 10 years Jeong Myeongseok was imprisoned, the number of followers actually increased. Jeong Joeun is more eloquent and glamorous than Jeong Myeongseok, so people tend to be more drawn to her. Unlike Jeong Myeongseok, she did not cause sexual harm, so internally it seemed to be a pleasant period."


Recently, Jeong revealed through her YouTube channel the criminal acts of President Jeong, saying, "(I) tried to stop (President Jeong's sexual crimes) but could not. Two of the seven victims were minors." PD Cho analyzed this by saying, "It seems she decided she could no longer defend Jeong Myeongseok."


He further speculated, "When that happened, she must have considered what choice to make, severing ties with people from the past and deciding to take on the role of the religious leader with a certain group of followers." He predicted that Jeong would break away from President Jeong and independently establish her own religion.


Jeong Myeongseok’s detention extended by six months

Meanwhile, according to the legal community on the same day, President Jeong’s detention period was extended by six months due to additional charges of forcible molestation and false accusation.


The originally indicted crimes involved 17 incidents from February 2018 to September 2019 at a training center in Jinsan-myeon, Geumsan-gun, Chungnam, where he molested and sexually assaulted female followers of Hong Kong nationality, and five incidents from July to December 2018 at the Geumsan training center where he sexually molested a female follower of Australian nationality (charges including quasi-rape and forcible molestation).



The newly issued arrest warrant specifies a crime in August 2018 at the Geumsan training center, where he is accused of touching a specific body part of a Korean female follower while riding a golf cart. This is a new charge not included in the previous warrant, and with the issuance of this video-based warrant, the detention period can be extended by up to six months until the first trial verdict is delivered.
