===Adoptive son's threat controversy===

===Sued for sexual exploitation under authority===
Gong Hee-sook, a former instructor, has filed a lawsuit against Lee Man-hee, the leader of Shincheonji, accusing him of sexual exploitation under the pretext of his authority. Gong, who joined Shincheonji in 1992, claims that between 1997 and 2002, she was sexually exploited by Lee. Within Shincheonji, Lee was considered an individual with absolute authority, and Gong asserts that she could not resist this authority. Although Gong did not initially recognize the sexual exploitation due to the church's teachings and Lee's authority, she came to realize the abuse after leaving the organization in 2022, leading her to file the lawsuit. Shincheonji, however, denies Gong's allegations and educates its members that her claims are false. Gong has stated that she will continue fighting to ensure that no more victims emerge.<ref>{{cite news|last=Oh|first=Myung Ok|title=신천지 이만희 '권력형성범죄' 혐의 피소... 고소인, "신천지라는 사기판, 이젠 그만 접어야"|trans-title=Shincheonji Leader Lee Man-hee Faces Lawsuit on Charges of "Power-Based Crimes"… Complainant Says, "The Fraudulent Scheme of Shincheonji Must End Now"|language=ko|url=http://www.churchheresy.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=1498|access-date=22 November 2024|newspaper=Church and Heresy|date=21 November 2024}}</ref>
