Sarah Best

25th June 2021

There are approximately 2 million South Koreans who are followers of fringe churches.

The Shincheonji Religious Group made headlines last year due to high cases of the coronavirus amongst its worshipers - another fringe church is the Unification Church (the Moonies).

This video examines why it is hard for people to leave these churches and the impacts it has on their lives if they do, and it could be use for those students studying Beliefs in Society.
