Producer Cho Sung-hyun said on the 20th, `We did not apply mosaics to the body for the purpose of public interest and realism to accuse the abnormality of the cult. 'I am a god' produced in this way was released after being reviewed and determined by the Korea Media Rating Board. As a result, it informed the reality of JMS, caused public outrage, and revealed the dark truth to the world."
After the release of "'I am God', half of all members of the JMS left, and Chung Myung-sung was arrested so that he could no longer commit additional sex crimes. Korean society has once again recognized the seriousness of the cult problem. The world is really better."
In addition, the Mapo Police Station compares that the public interest obtained by 'I am a god' through sending the prosecution opinion is insignificant, and the private interests of the devoted followers of JMS are greater. Furthermore, he branded me, the PD who shed light on the JMS case, as a sex offender and 'I am God' as pornography. According to this claim, it means that the government has awarded the Presidential Award for pornography, and that the prosecution and the court of the Republic of Korea have used pornography as evidence and allowed it to be disclosed."
Producer Cho said, `It's very miserable considering the current situation I'm in at the judgment of the Mapo Police Station, but I'll continue to fight.' `I'll fight to the end to keep my promise to Maple father and to keep my promise to my son. I hope that the public authorities of the Republic of Korea will take the lead in realizing justice for the public interest, not for cult religions.
'I'm God' is a work that delves into the terrible reality of cult groups such as JMS, Aga Garden, Manmin Central Church, and Odaeyang. Since its release in March last year, the work has been praised for ranking fifth in the global viewing rankings, and PD Cho has received a presidential commendation (contributions to the development of the broadcasting and video industry) for 2023.
However, the Mapo Police Station sent Cho to the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office on charges of violating the Sexual Violence Punishment Act on the 16th, saying that Cho produced I am God for profit and distributed the work to reveal major body parts without mosaic treatment without the consent of JMS female believers.
Next, PD Cho's full-text entry.
This is Cho Sung-hyun, the producer of the Netflix documentary I'm God: The People God Betrayed.
I think you must have been very surprised to hear that the Mapo Police Station in Seoul sent me, who created I am God, to the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office on charges of violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes. I saw articles written as if I had become a sex offender, and I saw comments and cheers from JMS believers responding to them.
First, let me actually tell you about the relationship.
The scenes mentioned by Mapo Police Station have a high level of mosaic applied to the face as seen in the current work. JMS has consistently claimed that the video was fabricated even before the work was released. Accordingly, I did not apply a mosaic of the body for the public purpose and realism of accusing the abnormality of the cult. The "I'm a God" produced in this way was released after being reviewed and determined by the Korea Media Rating Board.
More than a year and half have passed since I saw the light of the world. JMS applied for a ban on screening to prevent the release of the work, but the court allowed the work to be released. As a result, the reality of JMS was announced, public anger was generated, and the dark truth was revealed to the world.
Living as a current affairs PD, lawsuits and malicious comments are routine. However, my heart aches this time, too. A word from my 7-year-old son who overheard me and my wife, "Daddy going to jail?" It's because of that. I tried hard to laugh as tears were about to pour out.
The family has suffered a lot over the past three years. My wife had to wear a protective smartwatch, and my son and daughter barely spent time with my dad. This is why I felt uncomfortable when I received the Presidential Commendation at the Korea Content Awards for "I'm God."
The reason for making current affairs accusations is that they can even do 'Squeak' on behalf of someone who is weak and unjust. Because you can witness the world change because of this 'barking sound' and because you are confident that the world that the next generation will live in will be better. The sound of "I'm God" began with terrorism against my father, Professor Kim Do-hyung, who has been fighting against JMS for 30 years until giving up his own life interests, and a Hong Kong woman named Maple.
After the release of I'm God, half of all members of the JMS left, and Jung Myung-seok was arrested so that he could no longer commit additional sex crimes. Korean society has once again recognized the seriousness of the cult problem. It's really a better world.
However, Mapo Police Station compares that the public interest obtained by "I am God" through the sending of the prosecution's opinion is insignificant, and that the private interests of enthusiastic followers of JMS are greater, referring to scenes that were sent out by falsifying faces and voices. Furthermore, I, the PD who shed light on the JMS case, was branded a sex offender and I am God was a pornography. According to this claim, it means that the government has recognized the presidential award for pornography, and that the prosecution and court of the Republic of Korea have used pornography as evidence and allowed it to be disclosed.
It is very disastrous to think about the current situation I am in due to the judgment of Mapo Police Station. However, I will continue to fight.
Before Maple came to Korea to film a documentary in early 2022, I made an appointment with Maple's father. I promised that I would send Maple back safely, and that I would stop in the middle and not give up. You have to fight to keep that promise.
"Dad never goes to prison, so you don't have to worry. I will fight to the end to keep the promise I made with my son, "Dad can win."
Sooner or later, this society will all witness who wanted to hide what.
And I hope that the public power of the Republic of Korea will take the lead in realizing justice for the public interest, not for cults.
