Sourcebook
Intro
I had a childhood friend named Han Seohwa who I'd been with since we were little. However, when we were in our second year of high school, Seohwa went to a part-time job and suddenly disappeared. Time passed without the police ever finding her.
Seven years later, I happened to see a video of a worship service for a cult called Jihwagyo on the news, and that's when I saw Seohwa.
I immediately researched and studied Jihwagyo. I learned that they bought land on the outskirts of Gyeonggi-do and lived with their followers in a place called Jihwa Village.
After building trust at a Jihwagyo worship facility near my house, I was soon able to go to Jihwa Village.
