Religious leaders who met President Lee Jae-myung suggested that pseudo-single religious groups should be dissolved, mentioning Shincheonji and Unificationism.
Presidential spokesman Kang Yoo-jung said at a luncheon meeting between President Lee Jae-myung and religious leaders on the afternoon of the 12th that the leaders of the seven major groups in Korea strongly criticized the harm of pseudo-religion and officially proposed relief for victims through the dissolution of religious groups that harm the country and the people and the recovery of assets.
The seven major groups that attended the event are Buddhism, Protestantism, Catholicism, Won Buddhism, Confucianism, Cheondogyo, and national religion.
Religious leaders said, "We need to strictly deal with behaviors that cause great damage to the lives of citizens beyond Orthodox collusion to restore the relationship that religion brings happiness to the people again," adding, "The people will agree to dissolve religious organizations that harm the nation and the people. Please consider ways to relieve the victims of pseudo-religion with the assets of the religious foundation in question."
In response, President Lee responded by saying, "It's a really difficult topic, but the harm to our society has been neglected for too long, so the harm is very great."

Of course, all legitimate religious leaders are concerned about cults.
The government also needs to prevent such cults.
It must fulfill that role properly, overcoming some criticism.
That is why a government with the right awareness is necessary.
