An attempt by Pastor Sam K. Choi and his closest associates to investigate the founder of Christian Today failed as they produced no evidence for the accusation.
A committee of the Christian Council of Korea (CCK) that investigates cults held a general meeting on Nov. 29, 2008, and reviewed a proposal that pushed for an investigation of the newspaper's founder. The proposal was rejected with only seven out of the 18 committee members present voting for a probe.
A majority vote is required to approve a proposal, according to CCK's articles of association.
There are a total of 35 members in the committee.
The proposal was introduced by Hyungtaek Park of Hapshin Presbyterian Church of Korea who is a close associate of Pastor Choi. He was heavily involved with Pastor Choi in making allegations against the founder of Christian Today.
