"Offering of the 'Sedentary Sorcerer', Open Empathy TV"
At the National Assembly's Legislation and Judiciary Committee's national inspection on the 21st, the content that received as much attention as the allegations of Mrs. Kim Gun-hee's involvement in the nomination was the 'spiritual conversation' that Mrs. Kim and political broker Mr. Myung Tae-gyun allegedly had.
According to Mr. Kang, Mr. Myung said, "President Yoon Seok-yeol is a 'blind warrior' who wields a sword well, and Mrs. Kim is a 'sedentary sorceress' who shouldn't go out, so he told Mrs. Kim to ride on the blind man's shoulders and perform sorcery."

- What is Juju (呪術)?
The core of juju is chanting incantations (呪文). Incantations are sounds that persuade gods (神). At the bottom of all religions lies this juju (incantation).
Songgwangsa Temple in Suncheon, which produced 16 national prelates during the Goryeo dynasty. Recently, Songgwangsa Temple had Venerable Gusan (九山, 1910~1983), who inherited its glorious tradition. One of Gusan's nicknames was 'the barber monk,' because he worked as a barber before becoming a monk. However, this barber contracted tuberculosis. In those days without medicine, many died from tuberculosis. One day, a customer who came to get a haircut told him, 'Tuberculosis can be cured by chanting incantations.'
The barber, who had been thinking about his death, heard those words and chanted incantations desperately. He chanted incantations the moment he opened his eyes. And his tuberculosis was cured, and he became a monk after entering monastic life.

- People Ensnared by Juju
Japanese Juju Elements

Perhaps because of its history of many wars, Japan often builds castles or temples in places where many people died. They believe that the spirits of the dead protect them. The Japanese practice of keeping the ashes (遺骨) or memorial tablets (位牌) of deceased parents in the house stems from a similar logic.
- Why They Moved to Yongsan-Juju (呪術) and the US Army Garrison
The reason why the Yoon couple refused the Blue House and moved to Yongsan after becoming president can only be explained by juju. However, in addition to juju, the decisive reason why Yoon Seok-yeol decided to move to Yongsan was the existence of his mentor Cheongong and the US Army Garrison in Korea. For him, a political layman, it's almost the only place he can rely on as president. Where could there be a safer place than being near his mentor, a juju practitioner, and his eternal ally, the US Army Garrison in Korea!
However, it is truly mysterious that the geopolitical history of the land he chose, Yongsan, is so peculiar. Historically, Yongsan has been a base for foreign armies to control the capital city, Seoul, and monitor the entire peninsula whenever they invaded this land. In other words, it was a geopolitically crucial location that any foreign army invading the Korean Peninsula would surely seize. Japan established its command post, logistics base, and the residence of the Governor-General of Korea there.
- Economic Growth as Another Juju
However, regardless of whether that juju-like approach will be effective or not, the real problem is that the entire nation looking at the impeachment is even more seriously caught up in juju than the presidential couple. It is none other than the juju of 'economic growth'. Once caught in the juju of economic growth, one hundred percent of people cannot find a way out and collapse.
- First, We Must Awaken from Juju
We must awaken from juju (呪術). But this is not easy. It is not just difficult, it seems almost impossible. People predict that if economic growth stops, they will starve to death or become slaves of neighboring countries. In a way, this is similar to addiction treatment.
President Yoon Seok-yeol may be caught in a double juju and may not know what to do. Believe it or not, we must first admit that we are all caught in juju (呪術). Only then can we shout at the presidential couple, "Wake up from your juju! "
In fact, the juju the president is caught up in is incredibly serious. The fact that he supported Japan's position even when the Japanese government released the Fukushima nuclear power plant's cooling water into the sea shows the double juju he is caught in.
It is a great national misfortune that Yoon Seok-yeol, who feels a sense of emotional solidarity with the Japanese far-right forces who created the myth of economic growth, is caught in Japanese-style juju (呪術), thinking that Japan's growth is Korea's growth. Impeachment (彈劾) is good, but it is more urgent to break the juju (呪術) now, because the destructive juju acts will not stop even if Yoon Seok-yeol is removed from power.

- Protect the Suffering Republic of Korea
God of Life!
Hear the sighs of the sea off Jindo. The Republic of Korea, and the whole world, are worried because of the heartbreaking news that came so suddenly. My heart aches as teenagers living in their dreams are among the majority of victims.
Resurrected Lord!
I believe in the living Lord who appeared to the women who came to the tomb with tears and sorrow when He died and ushered in a new dawn. As I pray with a fervent heart, grant those who have been in an accident strong strength to hold on tightly to the lifeline until help arrives.
Holy Spirit Who Cares for Us!
Have pity on the suffering Republic of Korea. People of all ages mourn the unjust deaths and pray for the safe return of those missing. May the hearts that share the suffering console each other, and may they gather strength and wisdom to prevent such incidents from happening again.
Our only refuge is the Lord.
Lord, protect the lives of those in the Jindo sea. Comfort the families who are grieving and weeping. Give strength to those fighting to save even one more life. Have mercy on us who can only wring our hands. Lord, please give us strength.
In the name of Jesus Christ, who is with those who suffer, we pray.
