Suspicions of cult involvement resurface for J.Y. Park.
The music industry icon J.Y. Park, the force behind the establishment of JYP Entertainment, is known for launching some of the most successful idols in K-Pop history. With decades of experience, he has cultivated a loyal following.
Instances of concern have been raised not about J.Y. Park’s music but rather his religious endeavors, which have fallen under intense scrutiny due to alleged connections with the controversial Salvation Sect, a group implicated in the catastrophic Sewol Ferry incident.

In South Korea, the specter of cults is particularly alarming due to the exposure of various harmful organizations, including the notorious JMS (Jeong Myeong Seok or Jesus Morning Star). With Netflix’s series In The Name Of God: A Holy Betrayal shining an international light on these groups, public attention has intensified.
The shocking revelation of a cult connection with K-Pop album distributor Synnara has further confirmed the pervasive nature of such organizations.

J.Y. Park publicly announced the weekly church service schedule for Firstfruit, the religious group he is associated with, offering both English and Korean services and providing a link to their American website for further details.
To access information on attending in-person services, one must register on the website, which also offers virtual service options.
The U.S. branch of First Fruits initiated operations approximately a month ago, with J.Y Park releasing an introductory video on February 18, 2024. The Christian evangelical approach of spreading the “good news” by First Fruits is not intrinsically suspect.
However, it is not uncommon for Korean-based cults to have international outreach strategies aimed at recruitment.
Netizens have reignited “cult leader” accusations in light of J.Y. Park’s recent undertakings.

Honestly, I wouldn’t even be surprised if JYP turns out to be a cult leader. I mean look at Park Bogum. It wouldn’t be the first time… https://t.co/WlcjgmhYIn
