1. What has been falsely reported?

 

Multiple media outlets published false reports with claims related to the status of former chairman Yoo Byung-eun, such as, “The Salvation Group considers Yoo Byung-eun as Jesus’ , a prophet or a person who has spiritual power’

2. Reports vs Facts

 

“The Salvation Group considers Yoo Byung-eun as Jesus’. Yoo byung-eun is considered as ‘a prophet or a person who has spiritual power’.

Claims about former chairman Yoo Byung-eun such as ‘he is considered as a prophet or a person who has spiritual power’ were determined to be unfounded. Former chairman Yoo byung-eun is not revered beyond his role as a sharer of abundant Biblical knowledge.

“ We are not fanatics of Yoo Byung-eun”

Systematic escape of Yoo Byung-eun is not true. 

Never heard of the word Mother Shin or Mother Kim.

The Salvation group does not believe Yoo byung-eun like fanatics, but they have faith in Jesus.

Our condolences to the bereaved family. 

Yoo Byung-eun only took pictures in Geumsuwon for the past four years. 

 

- What has been treated most unfairly to you? 

“ It is  how in the eyes of the public, we are seen as a group of  people who consider former chairman Yoo Byung-eun as religious leader. They describe us as if we were fanatics who would take his words as law. That prejudiced view makes us angry.  We believe in the Bible and Jesus, not Yoo Byung-eun.

Jangsungmin’s Sisatank- Exclusive interview with a representative of the Salvation group(Lee Tae-jong)

The beginning of the gospel is the Bible. There is no leader other than Jesus. Having faith in Jesus, chairman Yoo Byung-eun and pastor Kwon Shin chan realized,  ‘Ah,Jesus is our saviour’ in their individual life.  As they  evangelized the message that our master is Jesus, people who agreed on the message gathered and became members.. They don’t think chairman Yoo Byung-eun or Pastor Kwon Shin-chan as a figure to revere.

Correction and rebuttal regarding EBC and Yoo Byung-eun

On April 24th,the media published an article, “[Yoo Byung-eun lost the lawsuit  on ‘EBC Odaeyang incident conspiracy’] -the court states ‘no evidence of falsehood’ ”. It reported that Mr.Yoo is considered as ‘living Jesus’ (quoted from a book of Professor Jeong Dong-sub). It also stated that the Salvation group is related to the Odaeyang mass suicide incident (quoted from the court order),  and 17 billion won was flowed into Yoo’s pocket  during the Odaeyang investigation . In regards to this, EBC and Mr. Yoo’s bereaved family confirmed that no one in the church makes him into a God-figure, and there was  no evidence found to prove the influx of money to Mr. Yoo.
