In the recording file, Jeon said that he has been the chairman of the National Assembly and devoted all his energy to the patriotic movement and the revival of the Korean church. He then said he would resign because it was too difficult to hold the position.

▲ He is Jeon Kwang-hoon, a pastor of the Sarang Jaeil Church.

Pastor Jeon Kwang-hoon attended the Liberation Day rally on the 15th, took off his mask, gave a speech, and was confirmed to have a Corona 19 virus on the 17th. However, during the self-isolation period, he has been under fire for attending mass rallies and giving speeches.

▲ He spoke in front of lots of people with his mask off.

While he also argued that it was not true that he violated self-isolation rules or that his church did not cooperate with quarantine authorities. He spoke for about five minutes at 3 p.m. on the 15th in Gwanghwamun and he was notified of his isolation at 6 p.m., and the Sarang Jaeil Church cooperates well, submitting a list of members. Meanwhile, the Sarang Jaeil Church warned of legal action against the Seoul Metropolitan Government and quarantine authorities' on-site investigation into the church. The lawyer in charge of the case defended Jeon, saying that he received an official request for cooperation in an epidemiological investigation from the Seoul Metropolitan Government, but the pastor Jeon was not subject to epidemiological investigation, while the Seoul Metropolitan Government insisted that he needed to enter the church and the police tried to attract innocent citizens. Besides, he said he would file a lawsuit against the Seoul Metropolitan Government officials who were in charge of the site and the mayor of Seoul for violating the law and hold them criminally responsible.

▲ This causes the re-spreading of COVID-19.
