Has anyone here done any research on these folks:

Shinchonji Church of JesuShinchonji Church of Jesuss is the only truly orthodox group in the world.
Those who claim that Shinchonji Church of Jesus is a cult are actually
heretics themselves like the people at the time of Jesus' first coming who
called Jesus a heretic.

Why is Shinchonji Church of Jesus orthodox? In fulfillment of the Bible and
according to the command of Jesus, Shinchonji became New Spiritual Israel by
overcoming and creating the 12 tribes. The people of Shinchonji have
mastered the Bible, teach Revelation theology, and live their lives of faith
according to the Bible, which contains God's will. Shinchonji is also
orthodox because God, Jesus, and the angels who have prophesied and
fulfilled the 12 tribes are with us (Rv 7, 21).
[...]

Although the world's religious leaders do not even know their own
scriptures, the members of Shinchonji Church of Jesus are mastering the
entire Bible. Shinchonji members know God, Jesus, and the Bible because we
have received the revelation of heaven. We have become new creations by
being born again through water and spirit. This is according to the will of
God, which Shinchonji members understand and believe. We are proud that
Shinchonji members are being sealed with the word. Shinchonji is God's holy
nation, his kingdom of priests, and the people of heaven (Mt 11:27; Jn
3:5-6; Rv 1:1-3; Rv 7; Rv 5:9-10; Rv 21:1-6).

Shinchonji Church of Jesus—Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Rv
15:2-5)—is the only place that has been created according to the will of
God, which is done on earth as it is in heaven. Shinchonji is the only place
where people are living their lives of faith according to God’s will. Those
who believe this are those who believe in God and the Bible.

Shonchonji is the most visible cult in Korea these days. They often hold large rally-style events populated by attendants mostly oblivious to the group's true nature having been invited through the plethora of ever-changing front organisations.

In 2012, Shinchonji embarked on a 6-month long love bombing campaign directed exclusively at non-Koreans living in Korea. Practically overnight, a "volunteer" organisation called Mannam appeared on the scene inviting non-Koreans to every kind of event and activity imaginable: Korean classes, cooking classes, sporting clubs, social groups, movie nights, and dance parties to name but a few. The purpose behind these events was primarily to populate Seoul Olympic Stadium for Shinchonji's "Olympiad" event that coincided with the leader's birthday. The full stadium looks great in the subsequent propaganda videos that serve as recruiting tools for the group within Korea.
Here is more information about that event:

And here is an interview with a former member who was involved in that event:

One fortunate aspect to this nation-wide love bombing campaign was that it thrust the issue of cults onto a lot of discussion boards and Facebook groups for foreigners living in Korea. When Mannam, which claimed to secular, was linked to the Schinchonji cult, word spread lightning fast across the Internet. That interest continues today as quite a few of us interested in cults have attended Shinchonji events and kept tabs on their activities. The result is an enormous increase in the amount of information about a group that was a few years ago little-known outside of Korea:

And here in Korea, we are just weeks away from the largest Shinchonji event ever:

Things are heating up here in Korea as thousands of duped guests and VVIPs are flying into Korea for what is certainly the biggest cult event I've ever heard of south of the border.

I visited the cult's HQ yesterday where parents of members where protesting. I interviewed one father who spoke English... and then the shouting, pushing, and shoving started:

And the cult has in the past couple of days deleted their promotional videos about the event. I saved most including this endorsement by Desmond Tutu:

And here are some leaked PDFs about the event. The list of people attending is quite staggering:

The sham summit starts on Wednesday... it's going to be quite a week!

Crazy scenes earlier outside Seoul Olympic Stadium after day 1 of the cult's "peace summit".

I've been awake too long to post more, but for now, an interview with a female protester who was assaulted by a male member of Lee's cult:

I know predictions are always dangerous, but really think the location of Thursday's summit - Seoul's 63 Building will make it much harder for cult thug "security guards" to keep protesters away from attendees. The result I think can only be an escalation...

And there was indeed some escalation. Here's a brief run down of the last few days:

Thursday, there were scuffles outside the 64 Building (Seoul's tallest) where the day's events were taking place - it was a 3-day event. SCJ thugs were thuggish TO young attendees. 10 thugs shoved me in front of other attendees who looked on in horror just minutes after telling me that, yes, as a matter of fact the summit was a bit weird. A "bit weird" entailed a story of a guy who spoke his mind about the constant monitoring, lack of freedom, everything else cultish, etc. The result was an altercation with SCJ thugs - this was inside the conference. Hoping to contact him.

SCJ thugs pushed and shoved an attendee I had spoken to across the street. He didn't have his summit ID, so when he tried to get back in, they pushed and shoved as usual believing he was one of my evil Korea-based friends. Another attendee watching from inside called out, "Mr X, what the xxxx is going on?" Then the thugs realized their mistake. Oh man what was going through their minds at that moment. Probably nothing, or an image of Lee Man-hee.

A little later, I actually had a police escort into the building's food court. A plain-clothed sargent saw SCJ thugs denying me entry into the Beans and Berries by the front door. I told him I was really hungry and couldn't understand why all these guys didn't want me to go in. Had they just opened up a rival yoghurt shop? He took pity on me and led me all the way into the food court which felt like SCJ HQ. The looks on their faces... A thug tried to stop the cop at one point, but his colleague, who still had an ounce of common sense despite all the indoctrination, told him to let the sergeant through.

The cult booked a few seminar rooms in the 63 building and decided that gave them the right to set up a military perimeter around the whole building. Crazy stuff. Glad one cop realized it was just wrong. The other cops, younger guys, well I guess they were just there to stop things escalating, but by keeping the two sides apart, they helped the cult maintain its perimeter.

Friday night/Saturday I actually spent time behind the security bubble the cult tried to put up around attendees. I booked a room at the Sheraton (don't ask how much... it was worth it) where a lot of their VVIPs were staying. I had some nice chats to I some attendees - at least one is a former president - over breakfast while SCJ goons watching the elevator by the dining room entrance madly called their superiors asking for orders. I think they called the dining hall and said I wasn't a guest. A waitress came over, "What's your room number, Sir? 1401. I said rather proudly. It didn't occur to me until later that I should have said 1402 or 1501 instead (by mistake^).
Anyway, they didn't see the funny side of all that at all.

Thugs later ordered me to leave the hotel after a couple of chats to a couple of people in the foyer.. "I'm a guest here" lol. And one thug actually said he was a cop, but he later retracted that when the real police showed up. He claimed it was an English mistake. I'm going to enquire about taking that further.

I can't tell you how many young people left South Korea today thinking that North Korea might be a nicer place to live. I heard a lot were scared. Several thought their internet access was being monitored. Many left the hotel the cult put them in which was 90 minutes outside of the city and secluded.

More scenes from the first day. Watch from 10:45 as the former world leaders are paraded around the stadium. Compare that to the subsequent arrival of the cult leader and his mistress queen:
