(Trigger Warning: sexual assault, mention of rape)
This is written by a female college student who lived as Jung Myeong-seok's sex slave for 2 years.
I know I'm going to get hate comments for writing this, but it's really painful for me to know this is the only thing the victims like me can do. I am a female college student in my 2nd year at S Women's University who is currently taking a leave of absence. I come from a religious Christian family, and I have naturally become a Christian due to the environment I was raised since I was young. My first encounter with the religious organization called 'JMS' was back during my orientation at college.
I was introduced to a female follower of JMS named 'Kim Jiyoung' through a senior from the student council. Kim Jiyoung approached me because she knows I'm a religious Christian. As an innocent freshman at college, JMS' doctrine was really shocking to me. In May, I visited JMS' headquarters in Wolmyeong-dong for the first time with Kim Jiyoung. Kim Jiyoung and I were having a conversation about the doctrine when we were called by another female follower to a room where the other female followers were gathered. (This is where the female followers of JMS reside and dedicate their bodies to Jung Myeong-seok. They refer this as 'headquarters'). That was the first time I met Jung Myeong-seok in person. At that time, I wondered if he was really the Messiah we were looking for because he looked so skinny and short.
Jung Myeong-seok stared at me for a while and suddenly told me that I looked beautiful. Then he asked about where I live, what I'm majoring in, what I want to do in the future, and many other things. After that, he went outside and told another MS (The terms for their followers) to bring me back to the accommodation later.
That evening around midnight, I was brought to the room where Jang Myeong-seok was in. As soon as he saw me, he asked, "Are you wise or ignorant?". To which I replied, "I am wise." He stared at me quietly and asked how tall I was, which I thought was weird, but I answered, "I'm 168cm tall." After a while, he took me by the hand and took me to the room next door.
I was surprised by his action and I told him that. However, he asked me, "Do you know the truth? I will make you realize the truth today" as he dragged me slightly by force. He led me to this room where there was a bed big enough for 5 people to sleep in. I stepped back because I was shocked, but he pulled me by the hand and pushed me to the bed.
I was so shocked that I couldn't even scream. That was when Jung Myeong-seok suddenly slipped his hand underneath my dress and groped my breast as he whispered in my ear, "I'm not the Messiah you're looking for." It was really shocking that I was out of my mind. I started to get back into my right mind just when Jung Myeong-seok slipped his hand into my underwear. I started to scream and tried to get up, but my dress was already ripped. Soon, I experienced something that was very painful. From that night to the next morning, Jung Myeong-seok raped me 5 times in total. It was really painful to the point I couldn't even support my own body.
That day, Jung Myeong-seok stole the purity of my soul that I had been cherishing for the past 20 years. Ever since I came back from Wolmyeong-dong, I couldn't go to classes for a few weeks and started to lose myself. Then a few months passed and just when the summer break started, a man and some female followers from JMS came to my school, looking for me. It was very shocking, but I know I couldn't overpower them. I couldn't even tell my parents beforehand because they dragged me by force into the van and brought me back to Wolmyeong-dong. The next days were nightmares for me.
Some nights, I was alone with Jung Myeong-seok. The other nights, there were other 4 female followers with us.
(Continued)
That was how I, a 1st-year college student who has a lot of dreams, spent my summer break. 3 months later, my body felt strange and I told an MS about it. She told me that she thinks I'm pregnant. At that time, I was 2 months pregnant. On the same day, that MS told the upper hand about my condition. 3 days later, I was brought to an OBGYN clinic in Seoul, where the doctor there was a follower of JMS, to get an abortion.
For nearly 2 years after that, I lived my life as Jung Myeong-seok's sex slave. In that period of time, I got 6 abortions in total. I also got severe gonorrhea and learned that I can no longer have a child. I'm still living in pain up to this point. I am aware that a lot of people still don't believe that Jung Myeong-seok did all of this, but everything I wrote here is all true.
You will be surprised if I tell you all the things I went through as Jung Myeong-seok's sex slave. Although the hundred people who live in the headquarters of JMS were considered the closest people to Jung Myeong-seok and honorable, the truth is that we were all just Jung Myeong-seok's sex slaves. There were around 150 of us, we were all female college students under the age of 23 and also over 165cm tall. Even if you are pretty and have a beautiful body, the headquarters wouldn't select you if you're over 23 years old. He made all of us watch porn videos and do all the things in the videos with him. This place was filled with perverted actions that you can't even imagine.
(Continued)
Most of the female college students in the headquarters had at least 3 abortions. There were 150 of us and he replaced us every 6 months, which means that he did this to at least thousands of women in just 10 years. I know this sounds unbelievable, but I have seen hundreds of women in the 2 years I lived there. Jung Myeong-seok has sex more than 3 times a day on average. He had forced me to have sex with him 8 times a day in the first days I lived there. He also made me do perverted actions possible and had sex with him on the 2nd day of my period (The day with the heaviest menstruation flow in the cycle).
(Continued)
There are a lot of even worse things that he did, but I can't write them all here. What SBS reported on TV is just the tip of the iceberg. If you listen to the painful screams of tons of female college students that was assaulted by Jung Myeong-seok, I'm sure you will be able to understand us. No matter how many interviews and complaints are filed, Jung Myeong-seok will always remain innocent. I feel so raged right now that I can't continue to write because I can't stop crying. Please know that everything I say here is all true. Please help me and the other victims.
