SBS 'Unanswered Questions' will broadcast the episode 'The Pastor Mother and the Child of Faith - The Cheonan Church Child Death Case' on Saturday the 6th at 11:10 PM.

On the evening of August 5th, a 119 emergency call was received from a church in Cheonan. An 11-year-old child showing symptoms of high fever and exhaustion was transported to the hospital but ultimately passed away. Upon discovery, traces of being bound for a long period and numerous bruises were confirmed on the child's body. The child, who was seen at a restaurant two days before death, was covered in bruises, and despite a report of suspected abuse, the child returned to the church and met this tragic end.

Conflicting Disputes Over Responsibility for Abuse

Police have arrested the pastor of the church who had cared for the child for 11 years. Congregants are refuting the abuse allegations, stating that the pastor is a person who has cared for about 40 orphans, including the child of a single mother. Rather, the congregants claim that the child's maternal grandmother usually assaulted and bound the child, who has a disability. On the other hand, the detained grandmother, after being persuaded by her family, recanted her previous statements regarding her own assaults, claiming they were made under the pastor's instructions.

Hidden Secrets Within the Church

Whistleblowers who left the church are exposing the reality of the pastor and claiming that the grandmother is also a victim. The production team has exclusively secured a video of the pastor's sermon filmed three days before the child's death. The reason why the child could not ultimately leave the church and the truth of the terrible things that occurred inside the church will be revealed through this broadcast.
