In November 2001 the Taiwanese version of ''[[Next Magazine (Chinese magazine)|Next Magazine]]'' published the article "Korean cult leader raped over one hundred Taiwanese female college students". Allegedly involved [[National Taiwan University]], [[Fu Jen Catholic University]], and [[National Chengchi University]] all denied the report, stated that there were no cult activities in their campuses at the time. NCCU acknowledged that there had been such activities many years ago.  There had been similar reports in 1997.<ref>{{cite news

A Chinese-language magazine said Chung had sexually assaulted the women, many of them students from National Taiwan and National Chengchi universities, telling them it was part of a religious ceremony. The accusation prompted the police to investigate.

In October 2005 ''[[Apple Daily (Taiwan)|Apple Daily]]'' reported that many student clubs in [[National Central University]] and other campuses are recruiting for Providence Church. These clubs hold a wide variety of activities including the "Eagle Cup" soccer tournament in Taipei city and regular model training. The paper quoted an undisclosed former church member, that the church's "modeling department" is in fact a channel of recruiting sexual partners for Jung. The paper obtained three audio recordings of dialogs of some female members, which say that Jung have had sex with ten female members by mutual consent, most of them college students from the modeling department.<ref>{{cite news

In November 2024, JMS conducted the "13th Blessing Ceremony (Wedding)" for Taiwanese followers, during which concerns were raised about the excessive invasion of privacy. Specifically, the organization reportedly asked participants intrusive questions, including inquiries about the frequency of sexual relations.<ref>{{cite news|last=Park|first=In Jae|title=대만 JMS, 속칭 '축복식' 앞두고 성관계·임신·낙태 여부 설문지 배포|trans-title=Taiwan JMS Distributes Questionnaire on Sexual Relations, Pregnancy, and Abortion Ahead of So-Called "Blessing Ceremony"|language=ko|url=https://www.amennews.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=30018|access-date=7 November 2024|newspaper=Amen News|date=6 November 2024}}</ref>
