Pastor Jang-Hwan Kim, who was in charge of the program, said, “I was surprised to go to the Graduate School of Theology. Why did you go to Shin Dae-won?” In response, Mr. Jeon said, “I spent 2 years and 8 months in the prison wall. Somewhere I heard a hymn, and tears fell. He replied, “I believed in Jesus before, and although I paid tithing in the early morning prayer, I only knew I could pray for a lot of blessings.”
In the broadcast, Park Sang-ah said, “At first, I opposed my husband’s theology. It is a fact that I want to hide that people like us who are sinners believe in God, but even ministry seems to hide the glory of God, so I was worried. So I quarreled with my husband and said no, but God’s thoughts seem different from ours.”

Jeon married talent Park Sang-ah for the third time in 2007. It was tried on charges of not paying the capital gains tax of 2.7 billion won by selling the land in Osan, Gyeonggi-do for 44.5 billion won and selling it for 32.5 billion won. In 2015, the Supreme Court confirmed three years in prison, four years probation, and a fine of 4 billion won. Jeon was detained at the labor camp for not paying a fine, and converted the unpaid fine (3.86 billion won) into 4 million won a day and spent 2 years and 8 months (965 days) in prison. At that time, there was also a social criticism of’emperor labor’.
Meanwhile, Jeon Jae-yong and Park Sang-ah said they were attending our church in Pangyo, Gyeonggi-do.
