MBN·SBS Plus 'Psychopaths I Met' hosts Jeon Hyun-moo, Kyuhyun, Nukssal, and Heo Young-ji expressed anger at the reality of pseudo-religious crimes disguised as faith.
The 3rd episode of MBN·SBS Plus 'Psychopaths I Met' that aired on the 26th highlighted shocking true stories of psychopaths who exploited belief under the theme of 'Deliver Us from Evil.' Professor Tak Ji-il, a pseudo-religion expert, appeared on the show to analyze the structure and psychology of cult groups and warned of their social dangers.
The first episode revealed a case where a family was recruited through a prestigious university prep academy, leading to false domestic violence reports and divorce proceedings that destroyed the family. This was followed by a shocking incident where a Jindo dog was deified, a 3-year-old child was abused and died, and the body was secretly buried, which angered the cast.
Finally, the reality of a second-in-command was exposed who extorted money from followers by claiming to cure incurable diseases, confined the cult leader in a secluded room leading to death, then claimed resurrection and continued brainwashing, drawing sighs from the audience.
Professor Tak Ji-il gave heartfelt advice to second-generation members growing up in pseudo-religious families, saying, "It is not your fault, so never be ashamed."
'Psychopaths I Met' airs every Sunday at 10:20 p.m.
