In 2024, a former lecturer and pastor in Shincheonji, known as Ms. Gong (female, in her 50s), who joined the church in 1992 and left after being excommunicated in December 2022, publicly exposed her affair with the 93-year-old Shincheonji leader, Lee Man-hee, via YouTube. She claimed that their relationship lasted for about seven years, from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s, during her 30 years in the church.
