The police plan to investigate Honorary Representative Heo until late in the afternoon.

In February, female believers of Haneulgung filed a complaint with the police against Honorary Representative Heo on charges of sexual harassment in a crowded public place. The complainants claimed that Heo sexually harassed them by touching their bodies under the pretext of counseling.

After receiving the complaint, the police conducted a search and seizure of Haneulgung and the Piccadilly building lecture hall in Seoul on April 15 and secured evidence.
