Sarangjeil Church has resumed field service as of today. 81 days passed after Seongbuk-gu’s Seoul office closed the church on August 13. On the 29th of last month, two days ago, the Seongbuk-gu Office lifted the order to ban church gatherings. The district office explained that it took into account the ease of one-step social distancing. The church also decided to fill only 30% of all chapels according to the step 1 guidelines of distancing from the government. To this end, church members received a request for assistance via text message in advance and participants were selected through a lottery.

When the church members gathered again, the surrounding merchants responded that they had no choice but to be anxious. This is because the group infection that began last August, mainly in the Sarangjeil church, spread throughout the country. At that time, there were more than 1,700 confirmed cases of infection in the Gwanghwamun church and assembly, and Pastor Jeon Kwang-hoon was also confirmed. After the massive infection, suspicions arose that the church was interfering with the government quarantine, and the church was seized and searched by police in August. The Seoul Metropolitan Government also claimed it was responsible for redistribution, such as interfering with epidemiological investigations and submitting false data, and claimed damages of 4.6 billion won from the former pastor and the Sarangjeil Church. However, the church has even filed a lawsuit against the government and the media, claiming that the government is responsible for the spread of Corona 19. Pastor Jeon was brought to trial on charges of violating the Public Officials Elections Act and is currently being held in a detention center. Apart from this, he was also accused of violating the Infectious Disease Prevention Act and was recently investigated by the police in a detention center.
