Lee Man-hee, president of Shincheonji Church of Korea, has completed his overseas schedule.
Girl group Le Seraphim faces a crowd waiting for their return home
Fans waiting at the airport for girl group Le Seraphim to return home from their US schedule unexpectedly spotted a man. Lee Man-hee was the president of the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (92). On the 22nd, the arrival hall of Incheon International Airport’s Passenger Terminal 1 was crowded with fans and reporters waiting for Le Seraphim to enter the country after finishing the ‘Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival’ stage. Among them, even male bodyguards formed a camp and waited, forming a crowd.

At this time, the person who suddenly appeared was not Seraphim, but Chairman Man-hee Lee. It is reported that Chairman Lee recently visited the Philippines to give a lecture on Shincheonji. Chairman Lee looked embarrassed when he witnessed the cloud of people. However, soon a woman, presumed to be an attendant, approached, saying, “Welcome. I will take you this way,” and strode through the crowd with her security personnel.

Fans waiting for Le Seraphim were equally perplexed. They said, “Uh, Shincheonji…” and also filmed Chairman Lee with their cell phone cameras as if they were curious. The scene at the time was captured on camera by reporters waiting for Le Seraphim to enter the country and spread through video. Netizens who saw this responded, “It’s so unexpected that it’s funny,” and “Lee Man-hee, why are you out there?”
Reseraphim appeared at the arrival hall about 7 minutes after Chairman Lee left. Le Seraphim members left the airport, covering their faces with hats and masks and waving their hands.
Previously, Chairman Lee was indicted on charges of obstructing COVID-19 quarantine in 2020. Chairman Lee was accused of submitting false information, including underreporting the list of believers and meeting locations. At that time, as the coronavirus was just beginning to spread, there was growing public criticism of Chairman Lee and Shincheonji for unreasonably continuing religious gatherings. However, Chairman Lee was found not guilty on charges of violating the Infectious Disease Prevention Act in the Supreme Court in 2022.
