After the release of Netflix’s documentary called “In The Name Of God: A Holy Betrayal” which explores the cult of JMS and the massive harm it caused its members, one kpop idol has been linked to it via his parents.
On March 7, DKZ’s member Kyoungyoon’s parents were linked to the JMS religious cult via a post on a community site. The post alleges his parents ran a cafe linked to the cult to the shock of many.
In response to the rumors, their agency, Dongyo Entertainment, issued an apology and said DKZ Kyoungyoon was not aware of the affiliation of his parents with JMS or their involvement in related businesses until rumors surfaced on social media.
The agency stated that Kyoungyoon and his parents were under the impression they were attending a regular church and had no knowledge or awareness of the JMS-related content discussed in recent media reports.
