'JYP Boss,' singer Park Jin-young, held a session to directly explain the sect of his religious group, 'First Fruits.'

'What Sect Is Park Jin-young's Church?' was published on the YouTube channel 'First Fruits' on the 19th. In the released video, Park Jin-young stood at the pulpit and explained his religion and its origins.

Park Jin-young said, "I don't think many of you came here with a relaxed mind. Most likely, people warned you before you arrived, especially those who attend church." He continued, "You've probably heard the question 'What sect is this?' the most. This likely stems from wondering if there's some doctrinal similarity. However, we surprisingly have a clear lineage."

Park Jin-young explained, "When distinguishing between doctrines or denominations, the standard must be eternal life. Our church includes members from Catholicism, Presbyterianism, Baptism, and Shincheonji. Just because someone came from Shincheonji doesn't mean our church is Shincheonji. Although I used to like a drink produced by the Unification Church in the past, I am not a member of that church."

Park Jin-young stated, "When distinguishing denominations, the two most important criteria are how one attains eternal life and whether it can be lost after being attained." He added, "First Fruits teaches that eternal life is obtained 'through a mysterious and complete faith given as a gift to those who repent.'"

Through this approximately 1 hour and 12-minute video, Park Jin-young explained details about First Fruits, the group he belongs to. In conclusion, he emphasized, "We are definitely a religion with a clear lineage."

Previously, in 2018, reports surfaced that Park Jin-young attended a Salvation Army gathering, sparking religious controversy. However, Park refuted claims that he is a member of the Salvation Army.

Park recently appeared on a broadcast and shared that after visiting Jerusalem, he began studying the Bible deeply. The study group he joined grew in size, eventually leading to the formation of today's First Fruits church. At that time, when asked about his sect, Park explained, "There is no sect; it is simply a religious study group."
