Shincheonji Executive Order to Manipulate Public Opinion "Agreed to impeach Choo Mi-ae" - JTBC
[Anchor] Chairman of Shincheonji, Lee Man-hee, is now at the crossroads of arrest. It turned out that the Sincheonji officials were busy when Chairman Lee was investigated like this. "Let's have an online war," and "Let's join Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae's petition for impeachment." Reporters obtained the video and recording files.
First, reporter Jung Hae Sung.

[Mr. A/Shincheonji Executive: We're going to set up a control tower to carry out the operation. We're going to war. With them. It's going to be an online war, an Internet war.]
On the 20th, this is a video of an online meeting involving core members of the Shincheonji Peter Tribe.
Three days after Chairman Lee Man-hee was questioned by prosecutors for the first time.
A key executive asks to agree to the petition to impeach Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae as the first step in 'Internet opinion manipulation.'
The petition was first posted on the 20th and officially registered on the 23rd.
[Mr. A/Shincheonji Executive: What we need to do now is to join the Blue House petition and give your consent. Okay?]
It is aimed at Minister Choo's order to raid Sincheonji in late February.
[Mr. A/Shincheonji Executive: What Minister Choo Mi-ae is doing is she brought up prosecutors on her line and forced them to investigate her through them.]
He also blames the government for the spread of Corona 19.
[Mr. A/Shincheonji Executive] Corona has entered the country because of Choo Mi-ae. We didn't bring corona, but Choo Mi-ae let it in.]
They say the Minister of Justice did not prevent Chinese and other foreigners from entering the country.
[Mr. A/Shincheonji Executive: The Minister of Justice is responsible, but in order to say that the Minister of Justice is not responsible, she was trying to find the victim, and Shincheonji was caught.]
He does not mention the spread of Corona 19 around the Shincheonji in Daegu.
It has yet to be confirmed whether or not the public opinion campaign plan ordered by this key official was actually implemented or to what extent it affected.
Shincheonji explained, "The contents of the video are not the general assembly’s position, but just the opinions of the executives concerned."
However, there are some parts in the video that can be interpreted as communication between 12 tribe leaders under Lee Man-hee.
[Mr. A/Shincheonji Executive: Under our 12 tribe leaders, we said we couldn't take it anymore. Anyway, they're going to try to arrest the Chairman. From our point of view, do we have to stay still?

The Shincheonji Executive in the video, instructed members to spread certain YouTube videos and write comments. He told members not to leave a trace.
Next is reporter Choi Jaewon.

The Shinchonji Executive stresses the need for "comment work" on articles related to the Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae.
[Mr. A/Shincheonji Executive: If there is an article about the reality of Minister Choo Mi-ae, please leave a comment for yourself. I think it's very important to make it happen if you pray.]
Referring to specific YouTube videos, he encourages believers to study and actively share.
[Mr. A/Shincheonji Executive: There is an attack on the Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae. It's a 17-minute video. Raise your hand if you saw it. You have to look up some of those YouTube videos and recognize, "Wow, she's so mean."
The video is the scene of the Congressional Judicial Council Meeting in last March.
It contains Jang Je-won, a congressman of the Future United Party, questioning Minister Choo and engaging in a war of nerves.
[Congressional Judicial Council Meeting: Minister Choo Mi-ae, could you show me your face? Are you king? Are you queen? (It's embarrassing to hear. Stop it. Stop it.)
It is not known to what extent Shin Cheon-ji's instructions affected the video's comments.
The executive also stressed that while actively sharing the video in question, no trace should not be left behind.
[Mr. A/Shincheonji Executive: Simply put it on the link, you can't do this. You can't text everything. Don't leave any data.]
JTBC contacted the executive several times but did not respond to the report.
Congressman Jang Je-won drew the line, saying, "I firmly believe that I do not know anyone related to Shincheonji and that I do not allow any connection with Heresy."
