On the 30th, the Democratic Party of Korea posed the suspicion of a relationship between the former president Park Geun-hye and Shincheonji, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Sincheonji) and demanded that the United Future Party makes its position clear.
At today's National Assembly open meeting, the congressman of the Democratic Party, Kim Hoe-jae, claimed that "there is the suspicion of Shincheonji's involvement in Park Geun-hye's presidential campaign," and "Facts like the chairman Lee Man-hee wearing 'Park Geun-hye's watch*' aroused in the citizens the suspicion of a collusive relationship and association."
He added, "During the investigation over the chairman Lee for the spread of Corona 19, an official of Shincheonji ordered the manipulation of the public opinion on the Internet," adding, "He asked to join the petition for the impeachment of Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae, and to write comments and share a video where a congressman of the United Party inquiry and conducts a war of nerves against minister Choo."
"The video poses a serious problem in that Shincheonji can be seen as having a connection with a particular political party," he said. "The United Party should show a clear position to resolve the public suspicion."
On the 28th, prosecutors sought an arrest warrant for the chairman on charges of violating the Act on the Prevention of Infectious Diseases, obstructing the execution of official duties, violating the Act on the Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes. The final decision about the arrest will be taken on July 31.

*About the Park Geun-hye's watch*, you all remember the press conference when Lee Man-hee got on his knees and apologized for the Corona events. He was wearing a watch with the emblem of the former president Park Geun-hye (sentenced to 25 years in 2018). Here's a short summary:
'Park Geun-hye's watch' of Lee Man-hee drew more attention than the 'apology' ' ….Park Geun-hye's side, "it's fake"

Another thing that drew attention at the press conference was the watch on Lee's wrist. Political circles seem to be debating whether it is genuine or not.
-More than on the apology, the spotlight was on Lee Man-hee's 'Park Geun-hye watch'.
-Sincheonji's side "The watch was gifted...No political intentions."
-Park Geun-hye's side, "Lee Man-hee 'presidential watch' is 100 % fake"
