The statement addresses allegations that Shincheonji Church of Jesus is systematically interfering in elections, specifically through claims of 'mass entry into the People Power Party' and interference in presidential and general elections.
The church states unequivocally that it has never instructed members to join any political party or engage in political activities, and that systematic election interference is neither structurally possible nor factually true.
The church states it does not have the means to know members' individual political choices, does not control them, does not track the number of party members in its congregation, and does not keep any such lists.
The church demands the Joint Investigation Headquarters conduct a fair verification process including: 1) a simultaneous joint inquiry cross-referencing church membership with political party rosters, 2) direct investigation of any confirmed party members' circumstances, 3) presentation of specific evidence if claims of special favors persist, and 4) investigation of potential collusion across all religious groups using the same methods.
Shincheonji Church of Jesus states its willingness to provide its membership list with the consent of its members for the investigation.
The church expresses concern that certain politicians and media outlets are concluding systematic interference before the investigation has concluded, amplifying unverified speculation and predetermining the investigation's direction.
The church notes that if political collusion actually existed, it could not explain the current reality where the church is blocked from using its own facilities as religious sites, even after purchasing spaces through a legally sound process.
The statement was issued on 23 January 2026 by the Members of Shincheonji Church of Jesus.
The church seeks the establishment of truth based on facts, not speculation, and demands clarification through a fair joint investigation that spans both ruling and opposition parties, not through suspicion targeting a specific party.
