Shincheonji Church is at the epicentre of South Korea’s coronavirus outbreak, with a vast majority of the country’s positive cases linked to the religious group.
In recent weeks the sect has become a target of public suspicion, particularly for its secretive practices which include followers hiding their identities as church members.
