[Statement] The Joint Investigation Headquarters Must Conduct a Joint Inquiry by Cross-Referencing Party Membership Lists Politicians and certain media outlets must stop exploiting Shincheonji Church of Jesus for political contention. The Joint Investigation Headquarters must conduct an impartial investigation. Shincheonji Church of Jesus expresses deep concern regarding the proliferation of speculative reports based solely on the unilateral claims of expelled individuals. These reports involve allegations of “mass entry into the People Power Party,” “interference in the Presidential election,” and “interference in the General election.” We state clearly and unequivocally:  Shincheonji Church of Jesus has never instructed its members to join any political party, including the People Power Party or the Democratic Party of Korea, or to engage in political activities. Systematic election interference is neither structurally possible nor factually true. The church does not have the mea...

[2025-12-04 Statement]  Immediately Cease the Baseless Disparagement and Political Exploitation of Shincheonji Church of Jesus  In recent political statements and debates, Shincheonji Church of Jesus has been unnecessarily mentioned. We find it deeply regrettable and express grave concern over the practice of using religious communities as material for political confrontation.  Shincheonji Church of Jesus is a religious organization. The church has not established any affiliations with particular political parties or groups, and will continue to uphold the principle of political neutrality. Nevertheless, the ongoing abuse of disparaging and speculative remarks about Shincheonji Church of Jesus is causing serious infringement on the human rights of its members.  The Constitution of the Republic of Korea guarantees the freedom of religion for all citizens, and no religious group should be unjustly stigmatized or exploited as an instrument for political strife. Expressi...

[Notice] Regarding Nocutnews Report on “List of Presumed Shincheonji Members Who Joined the People Power Party” 1. The content reported by Nocutnews on July 28th regarding the “List of Presumed Shincheonji Members Who Joined the People Power Party” is completely false. 2. The relevant material is a list of congregation members compiled by the Daejeon Church youth group in 2019 for their own activities, and has absolutely no connection to general elections or political party activities. 3. The person who managed this congregation member list arbitrarily changed the file name after leaving the organization, distorted and edited the content, and leaked it. Shincheonji Church of Jesus has already filed charges against the individual who leaked this list. 4. This report, which applied the frame of “Shincheonji political interference” based solely on one-sided claims from anonymous bulletin boards of unknown origin without even conducting basic fact-checking, is a typical example of maliciou...

Statement | Condemnation and Warning Regarding the Political Scheming to Fabricate a False Image of Political Connections with Shincheonji Church Shincheonji Church of Jesus condemns the recent acts of spreading unfounded false claims aimed at linking the church to a specific political group or candidate, orchestrated by political entities.  The church has no political ties to politicians or political parties and does not engage in any political activities. It is solely dedicated to the essence of religion, spreading the good news, and teaching the Bible, and it neither intends to nor involves itself in politics.  However, the ongoing scapegoating aimed at swaying voters, the schemes to create division within the religious community, and the incitement of deeper divides among the people have become unacceptable.  This goes beyond negative campaigning and constitutes a serious violation of the freedom of religion and the fundamental rights of individuals as outlined in the...
