J.Y. Park once again responded with strong denial against the claims by Dispatch.
On May 3, Dispatch released a second statement refuting J.Y. Park's denial on his involvement with the 'Salvation Sect'.
In response, J.Y. Park also posted another lengthy letter of denial via Instagram. He also announced his plans to hold a public sermon for the reporters to prove his innocence.
J.Y. Park stated, "Various arguments are repeating so I plan to hold my sermon again in September," and added, "Reporters, if you want to come you can contact me. I'll announce the date and location in the future."
He continued, "There are two things Dispatch is wrong on," and explained, "The latest sermon and the bible study I attend two times a week have nothing to do with the 'Salvation Sect' organization. And it's absolutely a mistake how the media outlet perceived me as a member of the 'Salvation Sect'."
J.Y. Park emphasized that he does not have a religion but purely wants to know more about the bible. He said, "I'm not part of any church or religion because I don't want to be caught up in a certain religion." He added, "I want to freely study and discuss the bible like I am now without getting put into a religious group. And if there's someone who wants to learn more about the bible, then I want to explain it to them and live that way. I don't like the solemn, religious atmosphere."
He also explained that people of varying religions, not just 'Salvation Sect' were at his sermon. He said, "There were several people who are called the members of 'Salvation Sect'. Word spread among 'Salvation Sect' members about how I'm good at explaining the bible so they sent their children or cousins (to my sermon). To be honest, I heard the 'Salvation Sect' members were cautious about sending their children to me."
As for the rumors about his wife holding an authoritative position in the 'Salvation Sect', J.Y. Park said, "It's not true at all."
