The One Heart Apartment (2) - MBN
The 66% of the residents is Shincheonji! Is the “Daegu One Heart Apartment” the
cause of the super-infection?

In the One Heart Apartment, 94 people out of 142 residents have beeen confirmed to be
Shincheonji members. Here, 46 people got a positive definitive diagnosis at the Corona19 test
and the local government has enforced the first cohort quarantine in the country.
Pastor Shin Hyeon-uk: “This whole situation is caused by the peculiar group culture of
Shincheonji. It's all due to the fact SCJ is such a close group.”
Now it is possible that there are still some positive members that haven't been identified. The
number of the members in the Daegu Shincheonji Church reaches 9000 people. 1001 people
attended the service together with the patient 31 and according to the health authorities, 90 of
them show significant symptoms. However, there are still more than 396 people not
answering their phone.
Daegu SCJ Church spokeperson: “They have no reason to avoid the calls. We have notified
again to the believers that they must answer their phone punctually.
Pastor Shin Hyeon-uk: “Now, they keep calling and nobody answers...? These people are
avoiding the calls on purpose. It just can't happen that a Shincheonji member doesn't answer
his phone. Because SCJ is organized like a pyramid. I don't know if the example is appropriete
but... It's like North Korea. The organization is the same. It's the dictatorship of one person: an
order and you die, an order and you get protection. This kind of pyramid. In our churches, the
position is not about rank. It's about role. But for them, the position is the rank. So, in
Shincheonji, if a person does not answer within 3 hours, that is considered a request for help
because they don't entrust the family with their own protection, but the other members. So if
they can't get in touch for 3 hours, if they suddendly can't be contacted, that becomes an alert
sign. So they think 'Maybe he went to the counseling centre, maybe his family dragged him to
the counseling centre, I should call the police and track him.‟ So in this group, they can't even
think about not answering the calls for long. Everyday they receive directions from their
superiors, all the time. So the lower ranks must keep checking on their phones. And when they
go out they are asked 'Where are you going?' and they have to make sure to write the address.
This way all their activities and routes are reported. There is no way they can have missed
those calls. That's why, for me, the chairman Lee... I think that anyone would have kicked him
out of Shincheonji after listening to that speech. He didn't even say a word after all the troubles
he has caused to Shincheonji. One would have expected some strong word of encouragement
but instead he didn't even say a word. That's why I think he was just pretending. (Actually, Lee
Man-hee didn't say a single word to the believers.) So I think that he did that speech because
the members were anxious, because after all the events of the Covid he had just disappeared.
The members were wondering 'Did something happen to our chairman?' Just like children that
have lost sight of their mother. Just like that. To reassure his public: 'I am in good health', it was
a very important sign. That's why he did the thumbs-up at the end, while leaving. There are two
things: the first is to implore the government and koreans by kneeling down. Why... Because
he's very scared. 'What if there will be a legal procedure, what if there is a requisition, arrest,
accusation.‟ We have heard about these things in the news, so he should first of all try to avoid
a legal action.
