"Jeonbuk Shincheonji 7,000 Rally Behind Jung Chung-rae"… Poll Results Could Be Reversed in General Election

He said that at the time Lee Seong-yun ordered young prospective candidates to drive for him, and that an unfair situation arose in which the father of a sitting city councilor took part in interviews of prospective candidates.

He implied that his reports helped address the problem at the time.

The whistleblower said he supported Lee Jae-myung from the time he was Seongnam mayor and that in 2013 he personally created a supporters' café group for Lee Jae-myung's Seongnam mayoralty. This shows he has been deeply involved since the early days of President Lee Jae-myung's political career.

This experience became the main reason he came to know Shincheonji's internal affairs well.

A member of a family support group for Shincheonji victims, the whistleblower said he infiltrated the Domaji branch in Jeonju, reasoning that to know the enemy one must know it from within. He said he gathered much information there and focused on tracking Shincheonji's internal movements.

He said Shincheonji had tried to hold an event in Seongnam but Mayor Lee refused the venue booking, and Lee Man-hee declared, "Shouldn't we not let Lee Jae-myung, mayor of Seongnam, off the hook?" He said this was one of the first cases of Shincheonji openly expressing hostility toward a specific politician.

He explained that from then on Shincheonji began trying to influence the election by affecting particular candidates.

He further claimed that Shincheonji members split into pro-Moon and pro-Lee camps and carried out supporting activities to cause division within the Democratic Party. He added that the aim of these activities was to create confusion inside the party rather than to elect a particular candidate.

The whistleblower stressed that the purpose of Shincheonji's political intervention is not to support or elect a particular candidate. He explained that Shincheonji does not act out of genuine affection for Moon Jae-in, Lee Jae-myung, or the current Rep. Jung Chung-rae, but instead targets specific candidates to exert influence. This leads to his analysis that Shincheonji's ultimate goal is expanding its own influence rather than seeking specific political gains.

This shows Shincheonji systematically tried to expand its influence even into mainstream fan communities.

He said that at a rally in Gwangju in particular, they shouted insults at Moon and made the atmosphere hostile, which he described as evidence that Shincheonji plots politically. He suggested that Shincheonji intervened less through direct support than by sowing disorder.

This was presented as an example showing Shincheonji systematically infiltrated internal communities of civil society and specific political groups to gather information or influence opinion.

He said he met this person in 2017 when Lee Jae-myung visited Asan as Seongnam mayor, and that this person, who lives in South Chungcheong, was later revealed to be a Shincheonji believer. This implies Shincheonji members were deeply involved in supporters' group activities for Mayor Lee Jae-myung.

He added that the mayor seemed to have grasped Shincheonji's intentions from behavior such as the excessive abuse of Moon Jae-in by Shincheonji members. This shows Mayor Lee was wary of Shincheonji's political influence and interference.

The whistleblower described the circumstances in which his wife one day declared she would no longer attend Shincheonji. He said people like himself are infiltrating Shincheonji nationwide to gather information, and that a contact from the Gwangju Peter branch informed him of his wife's Shincheonji activities. He said he confirmed his wife was a Shincheonji member and was surprised that they even knew the names of their children. This suggests the internal tip-off was decisive in his wife's decision to leave Shincheonji.

The whistleblower said there is a person who claimed to be a purely devoted supporter of Lee Jae-myung to him, but who admitted in fact to being a Shincheonji member. This person admitted it in a group chat, and the whistleblower explained that Shincheonji members disguised as supporters of particular politicians gather information or pass it along in order to exert influence. This shows Shincheonji's organized disguised activity infiltrating politics.

He added that articles reporting Shincheonji's involvement had actually been published, raising the possibility that Shincheonji affected the primary result.

He added that Gwangju shows a similar pattern. He warned that Shincheonji aims to expand its influence through Rep. Jung and could produce results different from the polls by actively taking part in party-member voting. This appears to be organized election interference beyond simple support.

The whistleblower warned that current polls alone cannot predict actual election results. He said the situation looks close, and stressed that unexpected results in Seoul and the Honam region would make things very difficult. He assessed that Rep. Jung Chung-rae may be counting on support from this Shincheonji bloc, and warned of the influence of organized votes that are not reflected in polls.

The whistleblower predicted that Shincheonji members would very likely vote for Rep. Jung Chung-rae in an organized way. He expected turnout among ordinary party members to be low and analyzed that Shincheonji is aiming for exactly this gap. He said about 30,000 party members were added in Jeonbuk alone, and that at least 6,000 of them are Shincheonji members who will all take part in this vote, expressing concern that their organized voting could greatly affect the election result.
