Remarks by Rev. Jun Kwang-hoon from International Religious Freedom Summit 2021: One Korea Network’s virtual event “Korean Religious Freedom and Human Rights: The Path to Reconciliation, Justice, Prosperity and Unification”

Hello, I am Pastor Jun Kwang-hoon, former president of the Christian Council of Korea, representing the South Korean church. 

Today, I would like to inform you about the current Moon Jae-in administration’s ongoing persecution of the South Korean church and religion. As soon as he became president, Moon Jae-in denied the Republic of Korea’s constitution and destroyed the four pillars of the country that existed since its establishment. These are liberal democracy, free market capitalism, the alliance with the United States, and the idea of establishing a country based on Christianity. He is also trying to participate in an alliance that leans toward North Korea, China and Russia by doing all these things. Our 12 million Christians and preachers cannot close our eyes to President Moon Jae-in’s impure intentions. President Moon Jae-in has put me in prison three times in order to persecute us and is banning me from leaving the country. Dear respected senators, congressmen, and religious leaders from all over the world – we must stop the Moon administration’s persecution of religion, and its attempt to dissolve the Republic of Korea and make it become part of North Korea by any means necessary. 

President Moon Jae-in has been lying to deceive the United States and the international community. Almost everything he says abroad is a lie. Recently, he visited Austria, and said that just as Austria was able to make a great country by uniting the left and right after World War II, South Korea should make a great country by cooperating with North Korea. This shows his intent to dissolve the Republic of Korea, establish a federal government system in North Korea, and have the two functions as a communist and socialist alliance. 

Dear religious leaders, senators and congressmen, if you help Korea again this time, our Korean church and the Republic of Korea will have another chance to repay the grace we received from the international community. Particularly, I hope religious leaders and leaders from the international community pay attention to the Moon Jae-in regime’s attempts and intentions at revising the constitution aimed at establishing a federal system with North Korea and help us to prevent them from doing this. 

Thank you. 

Pastor Jun started the Sarang Jeil Presbyterian Church in Seoul in 1983 and has headed the congregation since. As the current senior pastor of the church, the congregation has grown to 5,000 members.  He started organizing patriot rallies in South Korea starting from 2005 to fight the growing anti-American and pro-North Korean ideology seeping through South Korean society.  Greatly influenced by Dr. Syngman Rhee, South Korea’s founding president, Pastor Jun believes in the Church serving as an instrument for political and social justice. Pastor Jun is the President of the following organizations: The Korea Conservative Reformed Party (KCRP); The Christian Council of Korea; The Center for Puritan Spirituality Education & Training; and The National Fighting Movement for the Resignation of Moon Jae-in.


He was also the Sponsorship Chairman of the Christian Liberty and Unification Party; Co-Chairman of The National Movement Headquarters for the Rebuilding Country and Church; the Chairman of The National Movement for Rebuilding Korea; and Vice President of The Communion of Churches in Korea.

This year the current Moon Jae-in administration arrested Pastor Jun twice, detaining him from February 24 to April 20 and from September 7 to December 30, on charges of violating the nation’s ‘Public Official Election Act’ and ‘Defamation of Character’. He was organizing massive rallies with over 1 million people to call for the resignation of President Moon for his abusive and oppressive pro-North Korean policies.  The Moon administration officials have attempted another arrest and to close and take over the Sarang Jeil Presbyterian Church through illegal means and using violence.
