2022.01.30 235 The Four Pillars of Human Reliance and Huh Kyung-young’s Vision for Korea
The Four Pillars of Human Reliance and the Path to a Golden Age
- The Imperative of True Reliance: Wisdom, Intent, and Law
Huh Kyung-young expounds upon the fundamental principles that should guide human reliance, contrasting genuine sources of support with ephemeral ones. He asserts that individuals often mistakenly place their trust in transient entities, leading to disillusionment and suffering.
- Reliance on Wisdom (智慧): Individuals should depend on wisdom (智慧), not mere knowledge (知識). Knowledge, while useful, is a collection of facts; wisdom is the profound understanding and application of those facts. True wisdom transcends superficial information, guiding one toward deeper truths.
- Reliance on Intent (意): One must discern and rely upon the intent (意) behind words, rather than the literal words themselves. Huh Kyung-young illustrates this with an analogy of a mother’s harsh words to her child. Though the words may sound critical, the underlying intent is always love and a desire for the child’s well-being. To focus solely on the literal expression is to miss the profound message.
- Reliance on Law (法): Humanity must rely on law (法), which, in this context, refers not to secular legal codes but to the divine principles (佛法) and sacred texts (聖經) espoused by enlightened beings such as Buddha, Jesus, and other sages. Relying on fallible human beings inevitably leads to betrayal and sorrow. Human relationships are inherently fragile, and placing absolute trust in another person can result in devastating losses, as exemplified by financial ruin due to misplaced trust. The true foundation for life’s journey is an unwavering faith in these universal, divine laws.
these four principles—reliance on wisdom, intent, and divine law—are crucial for navigating life’s complexities. He criticizes those who prioritize personal gain, academic credentials, or superficial rhetoric over these profound truths, likening them to the waning moon, destined to diminish and disappear.
- The Critique of Current Societal Ills and the Vision of a New Era
Huh Kyung-young critiques the prevailing societal issues, particularly within the political and media landscapes, and contrasts them with his vision for a transformed nation. He laments the public’s misplaced trust and the systemic failures that perpetuate suffering.
- Political Disillusionment: Huh Kyung-young expresses profound disappointment with the current political climate, noting that politicians are often untrustworthy and driven by regionalism rather than national welfare. He highlights the irony of a society that dismisses his proposals for national prosperity while clinging to outdated political divisions.
- Media Bias and Misrepresentation: The media is criticized for its failure to recognize and accurately portray his message. news organizations often focus on sensationalized or trivial aspects of his persona, such as claims of levitation (空中浮揚) or teleportation (縮地法), rather than the profound philosophical and policy implications of his teachings. He views this as a deliberate attempt to undermine his influence and maintain the status quo. He recounts how his discussions on ancient practices like levitation (空中浮揚) and teleportation (縮地法) were intended to inspire physical and mental discipline in youth, drawing parallels to ancestral capabilities, yet were distorted by the media.
- The Analogy of the Moon and the Sun: Huh Kyung-young uses the metaphor of the moon phases to describe different types of individuals and societal conditions.
- Waning Moon (下弦月): Represents those who are arrogant, self-serving, and dismissive of higher truths. Their influence is temporary and ultimately fades away. He suggests that many in the media and political establishment embody this “waning moon” mentality, failing to recognize the true “rising sun” (상현달) of his presence.
- Waxing Moon (上弦月): Symbolizes individuals who embrace wisdom and truth, destined for success and growth. Huh Kyung-young identifies himself as the “waxing moon,” a force for positive change.
- The Era of Darkness and Light: He further extends this celestial analogy to describe political eras.
- Night (夜): A period of darkness, characterized by military rule and authoritarian figures, where “stars” (generals) shine brightly. This refers to past military regimes in Korea.
- Day (晝): An era of light, marked by his appearance, where the “sun” (Huh Kyung-young) shines so brightly that the “stars” (military figures) become invisible and powerless. He asserts that his presence signifies the end of an old, corrupt order and the dawn of a new, enlightened age.
- Strategic Communication for Societal Transformation
Huh Kyung-young outlines his strategic approach to communication, distinguishing between “soft” and “hard” methods tailored to different audiences and contexts. This strategy is designed to effectively convey his message and garner public support.
- Soft Approach (Soft Approach): This method is ideal for one-on-one interactions or small groups, focusing on building rapport and conveying a comprehensive narrative.
- Personal Storytelling: When engaging with individuals, such as a taxi driver, the goal is to share his life story in a compelling and empathetic manner. This includes his humble beginnings, his struggles, his self-education, his philanthropic work as the “Pestalozzi of Korea,” and his ultimate decision to run for president to alleviate the suffering of the people.
- Image-Centric: The soft approach emphasizes creating a positive and relatable image, highlighting his dedication to public service, his refusal of presidential salary and expenses, and his commitment to transforming Korea into a prosperous nation.
- Hard Approach (Hard Approach): This method is suitable for large public gatherings and mass communication, focusing on direct, impactful policy messages.
- Policy-Centric: In public speeches, the emphasis is on concrete policy proposals, such as the 100 million won (1억원) emergency relief fund and the 1.5 million won (150만원) monthly basic income. These messages are designed to be clear, concise, and immediately appealing to a broad audience.
- Contextual Application: Huh Kyung-young stresses the importance of adapting the communication style to the specific time and place. Using a “soft” narrative in a large public rally would be ineffective, just as shouting policy slogans in a private conversation would be inappropriate.
- Addressing Systemic Injustice and Policy Solutions
Huh Kyung-young directly confronts the systemic injustices within the political and economic spheres, particularly concerning election fairness and financial burdens on citizens. He proposes radical policy solutions to rectify these issues.
- Election Irregularities: He exposes alleged manipulation in public opinion polls, where his candidacy is deliberately excluded despite significant public support. He cites a recorded phone call with an election commission official, revealing that his exclusion from polls was based on directives from higher authorities, which he deems illegal and unethical. such practices are designed to maintain the power of incumbent parties and prevent new voices from emerging.
- Five Forms of Illegality: He categorizes these electoral manipulations into five types: illegality (不法), expediency (便法), violation of law (違法), circumvention of law (脫法), and criminality (犯法).
- Critique of Proportional Representation System: He criticizes the establishment of “satellite parties” for proportional representation, which he views as a constitutional violation designed to marginalize smaller parties and consolidate power among the major political factions. He asserts that the National Election Commission’s approval of such practices undermines democratic principles.
- Financial Relief Policies: Huh Kyung-young outlines his comprehensive plan to alleviate the financial burdens on citizens:
- Abolition of Taxes: He pledges to abolish property taxes, car ownership taxes, and income taxes for low- and middle-income workers.
- Elimination of Social Insurance Premiums: He promises to eliminate the four major social insurance premiums (national pension, employment insurance, industrial accident insurance, and health insurance) for the majority of citizens, with the government and employers covering the costs.
- National Dividend (國民配當金): He reiterates his commitment to providing a 100 million won (1억원) emergency relief fund and a 1.5 million won (150만원) monthly national dividend to all citizens, arguing that these funds will stimulate the economy and free people from financial distress.
- Vision of a Paradise on Earth (地上樂園): He envisions a society where citizens are liberated from financial worries, leading to increased happiness, reduced social conflict, and a flourishing economy. He asserts that his policies are rooted in profound philosophical and historical understanding, designed to create a “paradise on earth.”

Huh Kyung-young addresses various public questions, providing specific policy details and insights into his governance philosophy.

- Rural New Deal Complex (農村뉴딜단지): He elaborates on the “Rural New Deal Complex” initiative, designed to revitalize rural areas and ensure food security.
- Compensation and Benefits: Farmers who contribute their land to the complex will receive land dividends in addition to the national dividend, ensuring a stable income.

- The Power of the “Unbloomed Mugunghwa” and the Role of the God-man
Huh Kyung-young highlights the significance of his book, “The Unbloomed Mugunghwa (무궁화 꽃은 지지 않았다),” as a powerful tool for conveying his message and transforming public perception. He also elaborates on his unique role as a God-man (神人), the Creator sent to guide humanity.

He predicts that these individuals will eventually realize their mistake and experience profound regret.
- Global Transformation: His mission extends beyond Korea to the entire world, aiming to bring about a global transformation and establish a new era of peace and prosperity.

- Addressing Political Opposition and the Role of the People

- Nationalized Farmland: Farmers can entrust their land to national “New Deal Complexes,” receiving land dividends and eliminating the need to incur debt for farming.
- Knowledge Transfer: These complexes will facilitate the transfer of traditional farming knowledge from elderly farmers to younger generations, preserving valuable agricultural expertise.
- Large-Scale, Eco-Friendly Farming: The goal is to implement large-scale, mechanized, and chemical-free farming practices to ensure a stable supply of healthy food.
- Regional Development and Infrastructure: He proposes significant infrastructure projects to promote balanced regional development and enhance national security.
- Chungcheong Mega-City: He plans to establish a “Seoul National University Mega-City” in Chungcheong Province, along with a world-class airport, to decentralize power and create new economic hubs.
- Multiple International Airports: He advocates for building additional international airports in Busan (Gadeokdo) and Gwangju to enhance national security and provide alternative air travel options during emergencies, as the Incheon Airport is vulnerable due to its proximity to North Korea.
- Addressing Social Divisions and Global Geopolitics
Huh Kyung-young addresses the root causes of social divisions and offers his perspective on global geopolitical dynamics, emphasizing the need for spiritual leadership.
- Overcoming Ideological Divisions: He aims to transcend the ideological conflicts between left and right, asserting that his presidency will bring an end to such divisions and foster national unity.
- Spiritual Leadership in Geopolitics: He views the escalating power struggles between the United States, China, Russia, and Japan as a critical threat that conventional political leaders cannot resolve.

He suggests that the continued opposition and criticism he faces indicate a lack of “righteous people” in society, hindering the nation’s progress and delaying the blessings it could receive.
- The God-man’s (神人) Role as Hands and Feet: He clarifies that as a God-man (神人), he provides the vision and guidance, while the people serve as his “hands and feet,” carrying out his directives. true faith involves unwavering trust and action, rather than questioning or self-serving ambition.
- Economic Analysis of the 100 Million Won Emergency Relief Fund
Huh Kyung-young presents an economic analysis, including a reference to a KAIST scholar’s assessment, to explain the profound impact of his 100 million won (1억원) emergency relief fund.
- KAIST Scholar’s Analysis: He cites a KAIST scholar’s analysis, which, despite initial skepticism, concludes that distributing 100 million won (1억원) to all adults would primarily serve to alleviate household debt (負債償還) for the middle and lower classes.
- Financial Impact: The scholar calculates that distributing 100 million won (1억원) to 42 million adults would require 4,200 trillion won (4,200조원), a significant sum compared to Korea’s annual budget and national debt.
- Inflationary Concerns: The scholar acknowledges potential side effects such as currency devaluation and inflation, leading to increased asset prices (stocks, real estate) and general consumer prices.
- Debt Reduction: The primary benefit identified is the substantial reduction of debt for the majority of the population, particularly the middle and lower classes.
- Huh Kyung-young’s Expanded Economic Vision: Huh Kyung-young expands on this analysis, highlighting additional, often overlooked, benefits.
- Economic Revitalization: The injection of 4,000 trillion won (4,000조원) into the economy will stimulate consumption and investment, leading to a vibrant market.
- Increased Tax Revenue: A booming economy will naturally lead to higher tax revenues, offsetting the initial expenditure.
- Enhanced Credit Scores: Citizens freed from debt will see their credit scores improve, fostering greater financial stability.
- Job Creation: Increased economic activity will drive demand for labor, leading to significant job creation and reduced unemployment.
- Social Harmony and Birth Rate Increase: He posits that financial stability will reduce marital conflicts, lower divorce rates, and ultimately lead to an increase in the birth rate, addressing Korea’s demographic crisis without additional specific policies.
- Elimination of Interest Payments: A crucial point he emphasizes is that by eliminating national debt, the 100 trillion won (100조원) annually spent on interest payments will be freed up, circulating in the market and further boosting the economy.
- Critique of Current Government Policies: He criticizes the current government for policies that he believes are leading the nation toward ruin, such as raising electricity prices (due to nuclear phase-out), increasing interest rates, and raising property taxes. He asserts that these policies exacerbate the financial burden on citizens.
- Support for Artists: He pledges comprehensive support for artists, including housing assistance, activity funds, and investment in their creative endeavors, recognizing their vital contribution to society.
- The God-man’s (神人) Omniscience: He concludes by reiterating his unique ability to understand and manage both macro and microeconomic factors, a feat impossible for even the most brilliant human minds. He calls upon the people to act as his “hands and feet” to implement his vision, emphasizing that his spiritual power is already at work on a global scale.
. The Essence of Leadership: Service and Fiscal Responsibility
When Huh Kyung-young assumes the presidency, his approach to leadership will be one of profound service and fiscal prudence. He will not appoint a private secretary, choosing instead to serve the nation voluntarily. A significant 70% of the national budget will be strategically reallocated as dividends to the populace. His sole aspiration is to foster genuine happiness and prosperity among the citizens. The spiritual industry, as envisioned by Huh Kyung-young, is poised to elevate Korea to the status of the world’s foremost economic power. He dedicates himself daily to alleviating the suffering of the people, tirelessly working for their well-being.
-
The Perils of Misguided Energy Policy and Economic Instability
The previous administration’s energy policies have led to significant challenges, including an impending increase in electricity rates and rising interest rates. This situation, particularly the neglect of nuclear power, is a direct consequence of the “de-nuclearization” policy. Nuclear energy is the most economical source of electricity, and abandoning it has caused experts in the field to leave, undermining Korea’s position as a global leader in nuclear power plant exports. These adverse economic conditions, including rising electricity costs and interest rates, are expected to lead to an increase in societal distress, potentially even a rise in suicides. -
Principles of Righteous Living: Reliance on Truth, Wisdom, and Law
Individuals should adhere to four fundamental principles for a righteous life. Firstly, one must rely on truth rather than fleeting personal gain. To prioritize profit over truth is to stray into superficiality. Secondly, one should depend on wisdom, not mere knowledge. Knowledge, without wisdom, can be misleading. Thirdly, one must discern the true intent behind words, rather than being swayed by the literal meaning. For instance, a mother’s harsh words, though seemingly negative, often convey a deep desire for her child’s success and resilience. Lastly, one must rely on law and faith, not on individuals. Human relationships are transient and can lead to disappointment and betrayal. The “law” here refers to the teachings of enlightened figures like Jesus or other saints, as found in scriptures, which provide a steadfast foundation. Relying on individuals for financial matters, for example, can lead to ruin if unforeseen circumstances arise. -
The Metaphor of the Moon: Success and Failure in Leadership
Huh Kyung-young likens himself to a waxing crescent moon (상현달), symbolizing upward growth and success. Conversely, those with a “waning crescent moon” (하현달) countenance, characterized by a downward-curving mouth, are destined for failure. This imagery extends to those who prioritize personal gain, academic credentials, and superficial rhetoric over genuine wisdom and truth. Such individuals, like the waning moon, will eventually fade into obscurity. True leaders, like the waxing moon, possess a comprehensive vision, unlike those who focus only on fragmented aspects of reality. -
The Sun and the Stars: A New Era of Leadership
In times of national darkness, “stars”—military leaders—emerge to provide guidance. However, when the “sun”—Huh Kyung-young—appears, its brilliance eclipses the stars, rendering them invisible. This signifies a new era where his leadership illuminates the nation, making the influence of lesser figures negligible. Those who fail to recognize this shift are likened to individuals who can only perceive stars in the darkness of night, remaining blind to the sun’s overwhelming light. -
Strategic Communication: Soft and Hard Approaches in Public Engagement
Effective public engagement requires a nuanced understanding of communication strategies. There are two primary approaches: soft approach and hard approach. The soft approach is ideal for one-on-one interactions, such as a conversation with a taxi driver. In such settings, one should convey a compelling narrative about Huh Kyung-young’s life, his humble beginnings, his dedication to public service, and his vision for national prosperity. This includes his commitment to not receiving a presidential salary, using personal funds for official expenses, and transforming Korea into a wealthy nation with a universal basic income. This narrative creates an emotional connection and opens the listener’s mind.
Conversely, the hard approach is suitable for large public gatherings. Here, direct and impactful messages, such as the promise of 150 million Korean Won per month and a 100 million Korean Won emergency relief fund, are most effective. Attempting a soft narrative in a mass setting would be inappropriate and ineffective. The key is to adapt the communication style to the context, ensuring the message resonates with the audience.
- Addressing Systemic Injustice: Election Irregularities and Political Reform
The current political system is plagued by deep-seated corruption and injustice. This includes the manipulation of election laws, such as the creation of “satellite parties” to suppress smaller political factions, and the deliberate exclusion of certain candidates from opinion polls. For example, Huh Kyung-young, despite significant public support, has been systematically omitted from major opinion surveys, while candidates with much lower approval ratings are included. This constitutes a multi-faceted violation of electoral principles, encompassing illegality, expediency, unlawfulness, circumvention, and criminality.
Such systemic flaws perpetuate the suffering of the populace, who are burdened by various taxes and fees. Huh Kyung-young’s presidency would abolish property taxes, vehicle ownership taxes, and the four major national insurances (National Pension, Employment Insurance, Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance, and Health Insurance) for middle and lower-income citizens. The government would cover these costs, ensuring that workers’ salaries are not diminished by deductions. This would return to the people the wealth that has been unjustly taken from them, providing a 100 million Korean Won emergency relief fund as a direct restitution.
- Economic Vision: Virtual Currency, Youth Policies, and Agricultural Transformation
Huh Kyung-young supports the judicious adoption of virtual currencies, advocating for government regulation to promote sound investments and protect citizens from fraudulent schemes. He criticizes the current government’s failure to educate the public about financial scams like voice phishing, instead focusing on partisan political narratives.
Regarding youth policies, he notes that other candidates propose extravagant spending without a clear plan for funding. His approach involves reducing national expenditure by 70%, making his promises of financial support for the youth feasible.
He rejects the idea of consumer subsidies for eco-friendly agricultural products, arguing that such measures distort normal market transactions. Instead, he supports loyalty programs and discounts initiated by retailers. His vision for agriculture includes New Deal Complexes (뉴딜 단지) that modernize farming, ensure food self-sufficiency, and provide a stable income for farmers. These complexes would mechanize farming, eliminate the need for pesticides, and allow farmers to contribute their land in exchange for dividends and a monthly income of 1 million Korean Won, in addition to the national basic income. This system would preserve traditional farming knowledge by having younger generations learn from experienced elders.
-
Resolving Housing Disputes and Promoting Social Harmony
For citizens entangled in complex housing disputes, such as those involving unfinished apartments and unreturned contract deposits, Huh Kyung-young’s administration would provide comprehensive solutions. After distributing the 100 million Korean Won emergency relief fund, the government would take over all such cases, resolving them collectively rather than leaving individuals to navigate lengthy legal battles. A dedicated department under the Minister of Construction would be established to swiftly address these issues, ensuring that all victims receive their rightful compensation within six months of his inauguration. -
The Power of Narrative: “The Mugunghwa Flower Has Not Fallen”
To effectively convey his message, the importance of his book, “The Mugunghwa Flower Has Not Fallen.” This book, written with profound emotion and personal sacrifice, serves as a powerful “soft approach” tool. Those who read it will gain a deep understanding of his character and vision. He also highlights his extensive history of social service, including his work in prisons and his contributions to national development, which he typically refrains from publicizing out of humility. These aspects of his life, when shared, significantly enhance public perception, complementing the “hard approach” promises of financial benefits. -
Global Vision: Immigration, Dual Citizenship, and International Relations
Huh Kyung-young’s policies extend to global citizens of Korean descent. He affirms that overseas Koreans, aged 18 and above, are eligible for the 100 million Korean Won emergency relief fund and the monthly basic income. He also advocates for the abolition of age restrictions on dual citizenship, allowing all overseas Koreans to apply. Furthermore, he supports expanding visa-free agreements with countries like Canada, viewing this as a step towards global unification. He believes that Asia will be the safest region during future climate changes, underscoring the strategic importance of Korea. -
Economic Impact of the 100 Million Korean Won Emergency Relief Fund
A detailed analysis by a KAIST scholar confirms the significant positive impact of distributing 100 million Korean Won to every adult citizen. This policy, while seemingly ambitious, is financially viable through quantitative easing. Although it may lead to a slight decrease in the value of money and a modest increase in asset prices, its primary effect is the debt relief for middle and lower-income households.
Beyond debt relief, this policy would inject 4,000 trillion Korean Won into the economy, stimulating economic activity and increasing tax revenues. It would also improve the credit ratings of ordinary citizens and lead to job growth as businesses thrive. Furthermore, the policy is expected to foster patriotism, reduce divorce rates, and increase birth rates, creating a more harmonious and prosperous society. The annual savings of 100 trillion Korean Won in interest payments, which would otherwise burden citizens, would instead circulate in the market, further boosting the economy.
-
Support for Artists and Cultural Development
Huh Kyung-young recognizes the struggles of unknown artists, particularly in the wake of events like the pandemic. He pledges comprehensive support for artists, including housing assistance and financial aid beyond the basic income. This includes funding for production costs, such as creating music albums, ensuring that artists can pursue their craft without financial hardship. -
The Role of a Spiritual Leader in Politics
his presence transcends conventional politics and religion. He is a “political messiah” who has arrived at a critical juncture in Earth’s history, a time of environmental degradation and global instability. Unlike historical figures who focused solely on spiritual teachings, he intervenes directly in politics to prevent humanity from descending into a new era of servitude, particularly to capital. His spiritual insight allows him to address complex global issues, such as geopolitical power struggles and environmental crises, which ordinary politicians cannot resolve. He views himself as the ultimate destination for all religions, offering a guiding philosophy for a world that has lost its way. -
Regional Development and Infrastructure
Huh Kyung-young’s plans include significant regional development, particularly in Chungcheong Province. He proposes establishing a “Seoul Megacity” university capable of accommodating one million students and constructing a world-class airport in Chungcheong. This strategic location would serve as a vital transportation hub, especially in times of conflict, when existing airports like Incheon might be vulnerable. He also advocates for additional large-scale airports in Busan (Gadeokdo) and Gwangju to enhance national security and connectivity. -
Addressing Social Extremism and Global Harmony
He acknowledges the existence of extreme rationalists who disregard the value of vulnerable populations. He believes that such ideological conflicts and social disharmony are a result of flawed education and a lack of spiritual guidance. His presidency would swiftly address these issues, fostering a society where such extreme views diminish. -
The Divine Mandate: Humility and Collective Action
he, as God-man, does not possess physical “hands and feet” in the conventional sense. Instead, his followers are his hands and feet, forming a “Heaven army” (천군). This signifies a call for collective action and humble service. His role is to provide wisdom and direction, while his followers are to implement his vision by assisting those in need. He criticizes those who rely on their own intellect and judgment, questioning his authenticity, as this demonstrates arrogance. True faith lies in accepting his guidance without reservation.
He concludes by asserting that his vision encompasses all aspects of society—art, religion, economy, and philosophy—and that his leadership is essential to guide humanity toward a harmonious future.

Answer: Huh Kyung-young aims to modernize agriculture to achieve food self-sufficiency, as Korea currently imports 80% of its food, often contaminated with preservatives. He proposes establishing 1,000 “New Deal Complexes” across the country, where farmlands would be entrusted to a national company. Farmers would receive land dividends and the monthly 1.5 million KRW national dividend, eliminating the need to incur debt for farming. These complexes would mechanize agriculture, avoid pesticides, and serve as training grounds where younger generations can learn traditional farming techniques from elderly farmers, ensuring the preservation of agricultural knowledge.
Key Quote: “We need 1,000 New Deal Complexes, and the elderly will no longer have to compete for land. They can entrust all their fields to the New Deal Complex, a national company.” -
How does Huh Kyung-young intend to support artists and address the challenges faced by unknown musicians in Korea?
Question: What policies does Huh Kyung-young propose to assist artists, especially struggling unknown singers, who face financial difficulties and lack of support in the current environment?
Answer: Huh Kyung-young acknowledges the severe lack of support for artists, particularly unknown singers who often pay to perform. He plans to implement comprehensive support measures for artists, including housing assistance and additional benefits beyond the national dividend. These benefits would cover activity expenses, such as transportation and production costs for albums, provided as grants rather than loans. He emphasizes his appreciation for artists and aims to create an environment where they can thrive without financial hardship.
Key Quote: “Artists, like film directors or those who are not working, unknown singers, those who were performing as singers and then faced this COVID situation—they will receive various benefits, so there’s no need to worry at all.” -
What is Huh Kyung-young’s perspective on international relations, particularly the power struggles between major global powers, and Korea’s role?
Question: How does Huh Kyung-young analyze the geopolitical power struggles between countries like the US, China, and Russia, and what is his proposed approach for Korea to navigate these complex international dynamics?
Answer: Huh Kyung-young views the escalating power struggles between global giants (US, China, Russia, and Japan) as a significant threat that could lead to regional conflicts, such as in the Taiwan Strait or on the Korean Peninsula. He asserts that conventional politicians are incapable of managing these issues. He believes that the God-man, a spiritual leader, must emerge in Korea to spiritually intervene and control these conflicts. He advocates for integrating spirituality into politics, science, and medicine to address global challenges that transcend national interests.
Key Quote: “These power struggles between America and China, and the triangular power struggle between Russia, China, and America, with Japan also joining in… If these power struggles escalate, and a war suddenly breaks out in the Taiwan Strait or on the Korean Peninsula, do you think you can handle it?” -
What is Huh Kyung-young’s vision for the future of work and employment in Korea under his proposed economic policies?
Question: How does Huh Kyung-young envision the transformation of the job market and work-life balance in Korea with the implementation of his national dividend and other economic reforms?
Answer: With the introduction of the national dividend, Huh Kyung-young predicts a significant shift in the employment landscape. People will no longer be tied to single jobs out of financial desperation. He anticipates a rise in flexible, part-time, and varied employment (up to 80% non-regular workers), allowing individuals to work across multiple jobs or pursue hobbies. This flexibility will eliminate unemployment and transform work into a more enjoyable, hobby-like pursuit, as financial security is guaranteed by the national dividend.
Key Quote: “When the national dividend comes out, you won’t be tied to your current job all day long; you’ll have flexibility. about 80% will be non-regular workers. This means you can move between various jobs.”

Core Messages
Reliance on Truth and Wisdom: “One must rely on the truth of righteousness, not on profit. Rely on wisdom, not on mere knowledge.” This principle guides individuals to seek deeper, fundamental truths rather than superficial gains or accumulated facts, fostering genuine understanding and ethical conduct.
Economic Liberation through the 33 Policies: “I will make our country a first-class wealthy nation, a $100,000 per capita nation, within my term, and give 100 million KRW and 1.5 million KRW per month.” This policy aims to alleviate national debt, stimulate the economy, and provide financial stability for all citizens, leading to increased consumption, job creation, and a reduction in social strife.
Spiritual Leadership for Global Transformation: “This world is corrupt, and general politicians, who are not comprehensive spiritual leaders, only care about their own countries. A spiritual leader must come to resolve these issues.” Huh Kyung-young presents himself as the God-man whose spiritual authority is necessary to address complex national and international problems, including environmental degradation and geopolitical conflicts, which conventional politics cannot resolve.
Detailed Summary
Critique of Current National Policies and Economic Challenges
Main assertions: The current administration’s energy policies, particularly the abandonment of nuclear power, have led to rising electricity costs and interest rates. This mismanagement is causing increased financial hardship and social distress, potentially leading to a rise in suicides.
Analogies/Examples: Compares the current situation to a “nuclear power plant” that silently generates immense energy, contrasting it with the noisy, inefficient policies of the present.
Practical message: The nation is heading towards a crisis due to misguided policies, necessitating a fundamental change in leadership and approach.
The Four Pillars of Reliance (사념처, 사이처)
Topic: Emphasizing the correct principles for human reliance and decision-making.
Main assertions: People should rely on truth (의리), not profit; wisdom (지혜), not mere knowledge; intent (뜻), not just words; and faith/law (법), not unreliable individuals. Relying on people often leads to betrayal and misfortune.
Analogies/Examples: An mother’s harsh words (“go die”) should be understood by their underlying intent (“succeed”), not taken literally. Investing all savings in one person is risky because human life is fleeting. The “law” here refers to spiritual teachings and beliefs, not just legal codes.
Practical message: Cultivate inner wisdom and faith, and be discerning about whom or what to trust, as human nature is inherently unreliable.
Unfair Election Practices and Media Bias
Topic: Highlighting systemic biases against Huh Kyung-young in the political and media landscape.
Main assertions: The current political system, including the National Election Commission and media, actively excludes Huh Kyung-young from public discourse and opinion polls, despite his significant support. This creates an “evil loop” where low poll numbers prevent debate participation, further suppressing his visibility.
Analogies/Examples: Compares the media’s misrepresentation of his “levitation” and “teleportation” comments as literal claims, rather than metaphorical calls for physical and mental strength. He likens himself to the “waxing moon” (상현달) representing growth and success, while those who oppose him are the “waning moon” (하현달) destined to disappear.
Practical message: Citizens must recognize and challenge the manipulation of information by established powers to ensure fair representation and access to diverse political voices.
The 33 Policies: Economic and Social Reforms
Topic: Detailed explanation of key policy proposals and their anticipated impact.
Main assertions:
100 Million KRW COVID-19 Relief Fund: A one-time payment to all adults (including overseas Koreans) to alleviate debt and stimulate the economy. A KAIST scholar’s analysis confirms it would largely pay off middle and lower-class debt, increase asset values, and cause only slight inflation. Huh Kyung-young adds that it would also boost national pride, reduce divorce rates, and increase birth rates.
Monthly 1.5 Million KRW Basic Income: Provided to all citizens, eliminating the need for various social insurances (national pension, employment insurance, industrial accident insurance, health insurance) for the middle and lower classes. This would free up workers’ wages and allow for more flexible, part-time employment, transforming work into a “hobby.”
Agricultural New Deal Complexes: Modernizing agriculture to achieve food self-sufficiency (currently 20%), eliminating reliance on imported, chemically treated foods. These complexes would provide stable income for farmers, preserve traditional farming knowledge from elders, and mechanize production.
Analogies/Examples: The 100 million KRW fund would generate 100 trillion KRW in annual interest savings for citizens, which would then circulate in the market, boosting the economy.
Practical message: These policies are designed to create a “paradise on earth” by liberating citizens from financial burdens and fostering a more equitable and prosperous society.
Addressing Public Concerns: Housing, Environment, and International Relations
Topic: Responding to specific questions from the audience on diverse issues.
Main assertions:
Housing Disputes: The government will intervene to resolve complex housing contract disputes and compensate victims within six months of his presidency, preventing prolonged individual suffering.
Environmental Pollution: Addresses concerns about paint fumes in residential areas, suggesting legal reforms to promote wallpapering over painting in attached residences to protect public health.
International Relations: Advocates for expanding visa-free agreements and granting dual citizenship without age restrictions for overseas Koreans, viewing them as integral to the nation. He also asserts his spiritual capacity to manage geopolitical conflicts between major powers.
Practical message: Huh Kyung-young’s administration would offer comprehensive, swift solutions to long-standing public grievances, leveraging both practical policies and spiritual insight.
The Role of the God-man and the “Heaven Army”
Topic: Defining the relationship between Huh Kyung-young as God-man and his followers.
Main assertions: Huh Kyung-young is the “head” (머리) and his followers are the “hands and feet” (손과 다리) of the “Heaven Army” (천군). Followers should not question or try to manipulate his teachings but act as his instruments, helping the needy.
Analogies/Examples: Compares those who question him to “demons” (마귀적) who rely on their own limited intellect rather than the God-man’s wisdom.
Practical message: True faith involves humble obedience and active participation in his mission, rather than intellectual skepticism or self-serving actions.

Historical / Doctrinal Connections
This lecture consistently builds upon Huh Kyung-young’s established teachings, particularly his “33 Policies” and the concept of his divine mission as the God-man.
33 Policies: The core economic proposals, such as the 100 million KRW COVID-19 relief fund and the monthly 1.5 million KRW basic income, are central to his long-standing platform. The lecture provides further justification and detailed economic analysis (e.g., the KAIST scholar’s report) to reinforce their feasibility and positive impact.
Divine-Human Theory (God-man): Huh Kyung-young explicitly positions himself as the God-man who has come to save humanity from a corrupt world. He contrasts his spiritual leadership with conventional politics, asserting that only the God-man can resolve complex national and global issues.
Immortality Principles: While not directly discussed as “immortality,” the emphasis on spiritual education and the transformation of human consciousness (e.g., through the “Spiritual Education Camp”) aligns with his broader goal of elevating humanity beyond its current limitations.
New Developments: The lecture places a strong emphasis on the “Four Pillars of Reliance” (사념처, 사이처), which appears to be a newly articulated framework for ethical and spiritual guidance. This framework provides a clear doctrinal basis for discerning truth and making choices in a world he perceives as misguided. Additionally, the detailed explanation of how his economic policies would lead to broader social benefits like reduced divorce rates and increased birth rates represents a more comprehensive articulation of their ripple effects.

Analysis of the 100 Million Won COVID-19 Emergency Living Support
- A KAIST professor analyzed Huh Kyung-young’s policy of providing 100 million won to all adults (42 million people, totaling 4,200 trillion won).
- The professor concluded that this amount, while significant (7 times the annual national budget), could be generated through quantitative easing.
- Potential side effects include currency devaluation, inflation, and asset price increases (stocks, real estate).
- The professor’s analysis suggests that the 100 million won would primarily be used to repay debts, effectively relieving the debt burden of the middle and lower classes.
- Huh Kyung-young adds that this policy would also:
- Boost the economy as the money circulates.
- Increase tax revenue.
- Improve citizens’ credit scores.
- Create more jobs as businesses prosper.
- Increase patriotism and reduce divorce rates, leading to a rise in birth rates.
- Eliminate 100 trillion won in annual interest payments, which would then flow into the market, stimulating consumption and business.
-

- he is a “divine being” who has come to address the world’s problems, which ordinary politicians cannot solve.
- He claims to have spiritual control over international conflicts, such as the US-China rivalry.
- He emphasizes the need to integrate spirituality into politics, science, and medicine.
- He views his followers as his “hands and feet” (천군), who should act on his instructions rather than relying on their own intellect.
- He believes that the world is in a state of “말세” (end times) due to environmental pollution and geopolitical instability, and he is here to prevent humanity from becoming “slaves of capital”.

The Divine-Person’s Discourse on National Policy and Societal Transformation
- The Essence of Leadership and Public Service
My voice, when soft, signals the audience to amplify their response; when loud, it commands their silence. This rhythmic interplay, a synchronized cadence, is crucial. When I utter “Welcome,” your resounding “Wow!” should follow, a perfect counterpoint. This dynamic, a low tone met by a high one, is essential. Should adversaries observe this, they would be astonished, perceiving a general whose mere whisper incites a fervent roar, implying an even greater power when a command is issued. This demonstrates the formidable spirit required. Just as a bull’s roar can fell charging horses, such a spirit is indispensable.
I embody this spirit, a silent, stored nuclear power plant. A nuclear plant operates quietly, yet it generates immense energy, distributing electricity without overt commotion. Similarly, I speak softly, yet my words carry profound impact.
-
Critiques of Past Policies and Economic Realities
The previous administration’s energy policies have faltered, leading to an impending rise in electricity costs and interest rates. These increases, implemented at the end of their term, are a consequence of neglecting nuclear power. The abandonment of nuclear energy, the cheapest source, has caused a brain drain among nuclear scientists and jeopardized our position as a leading exporter of nuclear power plants. This situation is dire, leading to rising electricity bills, increasing interest rates, and a proliferation of societal ills. Such conditions inevitably contribute to a rise in suicides. While one might dismiss such a fate, these circumstances subtly encroach upon individuals. However, those who attend my lectures at Haneulgung will remain secure. -
The Four Pillars of Human Reliance
One must rely on truth (義), not on expediency (利). Reliance on expediency leads to heterodoxy. Humans typically rely on four principles. One should rely on wisdom (智), not on knowledge (識). Knowledge, though vast, can be superficial; wisdom penetrates to the core. Similarly, one must rely on intent (意), not on mere words (語). For instance, a mother’s harsh words, “Go die!” spoken in anger, should not be taken literally. Her underlying intent is love, a desire for her child to overcome adversity and become strong. To dwell on the literal words, engaging in verbal disputes, is to misunderstand the deeper meaning.
The fourth pillar is law (法). This refers not to judicial statutes or legal codes, but to the teachings of sages, prophets, and enlightened beings—the principles found in scriptures. One must rely on such faith (信), not on people (人). People are fallible and can betray trust, leading to disappointment and ruin. Lending one’s entire fortune to a single individual, even with a promissory note, is perilous, as that person might unexpectedly perish. Relying solely on human promises can lead to financial ruin, familial discord, and profound regret. Therefore, one must rely on the law (法), on faith (信), not on people (人). When one is incapacitated and dependent, human support often wanes; ultimately, it is the law (法) and the state’s provisions that offer assistance. This principle of the four pillars of reliance must always be remembered.
- Disappointment in the Political Landscape and Media Bias
The current political climate reveals a profound lack of trustworthiness among politicians. The pervasive regionalism in Korea is deeply disappointing. Despite my proposals to revitalize families and ensure prosperity, there are directives to exclude me from opinion polls and debates. This is an egregious manipulation by the National Election Commission. The media’s failure to include me in their surveys, despite my significant public interest, demonstrates a deliberate suppression. This is a clear example of relying on people (人) and their biased agendas, rather than on truth (義) and wisdom (智).
My ability to heal those abandoned by conventional medicine, such as restoring sight to the blind, demonstrates a power beyond human capability. Those who rely solely on human institutions are ultimately doomed to fail. While a degree of trust in others is natural, they should not be objects of ultimate reliance. True reliance lies in faith (信), in a higher law (法), which transcends the transient nature of human existence.
- The Metaphor of the Moon and the Sun: Visionary Leadership vs. Obscurity
The current media and political establishment perceive me as a “waning moon” (下弦月), signifying decline, despite my inherent nature as a “waxing moon” (上弦月), representing growth and success. Those with the “waning moon” countenance, characterized by downturned mouths, are destined for failure. The “waxing moon” countenance, with upturned lips, signifies success. The media, blinded by their own limitations, fail to recognize my true nature, much like those who cannot see stars in the bright daylight. They are creatures of the night, only capable of perceiving “stars”—military figures—when the nation is in darkness.
When the nation is in turmoil, “stars” (military leaders) emerge. However, when the “Sun”—I—appears, the “stars” are eclipsed. My presence illuminates the world, rendering the “stars” invisible. Those who operate in darkness cannot perceive me.
- Strategic Communication: Soft and Hard Approaches
In political campaigns, two primary advertising techniques exist: soft approach and hard approach. These approaches must be visualized and conveyed through appropriate messages. When engaging in one-on-one interactions, such as with a taxi driver, the soft approach is most effective. This involves sharing my life story: my birth during wartime, my father’s unjust execution, my mother’s subsequent abandonment, my arduous youth as a servant, my self-education, my journey to Seoul, my work in factories, my nocturnal studies, my mentorship by a prominent industrialist, my philanthropic work as the “Pestalozzi of Korea,” and my decision to run for president to alleviate the suffering of the people. I pledge to forgo my presidential salary, use personal funds for official expenses, and transform Korea into a leading wealthy nation, providing 100 million won and 1.5 million won monthly to citizens. This narrative, a soft image, opens hearts and minds.
Conversely, in public forums, a hard approach is necessary, emphasizing direct policy proposals like the 1.5 million won monthly payment and the 100 million won grant. Shouting my life story in public would be inappropriate. The context dictates the approach.
- Addressing Systemic Corruption and Unfair Practices
The current political system is riddled with corruption, exemplified by the creation of “satellite parties” to manipulate proportional representation and the deliberate exclusion of viable candidates from opinion polls. This constitutes illegal, expedient, unlawful, evasive, and criminal behavior. Such politicians perpetuate a system where citizens are burdened with property taxes, car ownership taxes, and various social insurance premiums.
My administration would abolish these burdens for the majority of citizens. Property taxes, income taxes, and the four major social insurance premiums (national pension, employment insurance, industrial accident insurance, and health insurance) would be eliminated for all but the wealthiest. The state would cover these costs, freeing up workers’ wages and providing a national dividend. This would return to the people what has been unjustly taken.
- The Divine-Person’s Role and the Future of Korea
Religious leaders who fail to recognize my true identity will eventually face profound regret and despair. I am here to guide humanity, to address the systemic issues that plague this world. My presence is a testament to the dire state of the planet, a world grappling with environmental degradation and geopolitical instability. I am here to intervene politically, to prevent humanity from descending into an era of servitude to capital.
My solutions are comprehensive. For instance, the proposed “National Dividend” and “Rural New Deal Complexes” are designed to create a society where work is flexible, unemployment is eradicated, and people pursue work out of passion rather than necessity. The “Rural New Deal Complexes” would provide monthly stipends, food, and lodging, fostering a vibrant community where traditional agricultural knowledge is preserved and passed on to younger generations. This initiative aims to achieve food self-sufficiency and modernize agriculture, eliminating the need for farmers to incur debt.
- Addressing Specific Policy Questions
Regarding the issue of apartment contract disputes, my administration would establish a dedicated department under the Minister of Construction to resolve such cases comprehensively within six months of my inauguration. Individual lawsuits would be unnecessary; the government would intervene, ensuring all victims receive their rightful compensation.
For overseas Koreans, the “COVID-19 Emergency Livelihood Support Fund” of 100 million won would be extended to all Korean nationals aged 18 and above, regardless of their current residence. Dual citizenship restrictions based on age would be abolished, and visa-free agreements would be expanded globally, paving the way for a unified world.
The issue of noxious odors from neighboring construction, such as paint fumes, highlights a flaw in current property rights. While individual property owners have the right to repair their homes, this should not infringe upon the health of neighbors. My administration would explore legal frameworks to encourage less harmful alternatives, such as wallpapering over painting in residential complexes.
Concerns about the “Mental Education Camp” are unfounded. It is not a prison but a place of profound learning and self-improvement, where participants will gain wisdom and a renewed sense of purpose. It will be a place of intellectual and spiritual growth, far superior to any conventional educational institution.
Regarding labor issues, including those faced by military service exceptions and foreign workers, my policies would ensure fair treatment and improved working conditions. The “National Dividend” would alleviate income disparities and reduce labor shortages in demanding industries. The “Rural New Deal Complexes” would offer flexible work arrangements and communal living, fostering a supportive environment.
- The Economic Impact of the 100 Million Won Grant
A detailed analysis by a KAIST scholar, though limited in scope, confirms the profound impact of the 100 million won grant. This policy, conceived by me decades ago, would primarily alleviate the debt burden of the middle and lower classes. While it would involve quantitative easing, the resulting increase in national debt would remain manageable compared to other developed nations.
Beyond debt relief, this influx of capital would stimulate economic activity, increase tax revenues, boost employment, and foster a sense of national unity and patriotism. It would reduce divorce rates and increase birth rates, addressing critical demographic challenges without additional spending. The annual interest savings of 100 trillion won, currently paid by citizens, would circulate in the economy, further invigorating markets and creating jobs. This comprehensive approach, encompassing both macro and microeconomic perspectives, is unique to my vision.
-
Support for Artists and Cultural Development
The plight of unknown artists, particularly musicians struggling with financial hardship and exploitation, is a serious concern. My administration would implement comprehensive support measures, including housing assistance and activity grants, beyond the “National Dividend.” These initiatives would foster a vibrant cultural landscape, recognizing the invaluable contributions of artists to society. -
The Path to Global Harmony and Spiritual Leadership
The ongoing geopolitical struggles between major powers threaten global stability. These conflicts necessitate the emergence of a spiritual leader on the Korean Peninsula. My spiritual intervention can mitigate these international tensions, just as my policies can address domestic issues. The integration of spirituality into politics, science, and medicine is essential for humanity’s future. Those who recognize and support my mission are the “righteous ones” (義人), contributing to a blessed future. Conversely, those who criticize and oppose me hinder this progress.
I require the “hands and feet” of the people to implement my vision. You, my followers, are my extensions, carrying out my directives to assist the less fortunate. This is the essence of humility and true faith. Those who rely on their own limited intellect, questioning my authority, are driven by arrogance. My wisdom transcends all human understanding.
The world is in a state of decay, requiring a holistic spiritual leader to address its myriad problems, from environmental pollution to international conflicts. My approach, though seemingly humble, is designed to resolve these complex issues. The current political and media establishments, driven by arrogance and self-interest, are incapable of such comprehensive solutions.
- The Vision of a Prosperous and Harmonious Nation
My policies, such as the 100 million won “COVID-19 Emergency Livelihood Support Fund” and the monthly 1.5 million won “National Dividend,” are designed to liberate citizens from financial burdens, stimulate the economy, and foster a society of abundance and harmony. By eliminating wasteful government spending, 70% of the national budget can be reallocated to these initiatives, ensuring prosperity for all. The elimination of interest payments on national debt, amounting to 100 trillion won annually, would further boost the economy, creating jobs and increasing consumption. This holistic approach, encompassing economic, social, and spiritual dimensions, is the cornerstone of my vision for a transformed Korea and a unified world.
The Philosophy of God-man and the Path to a Harmonious Future
-
The Essence of Leadership and National Prosperity
Huh Kyung-young (허경영) asserts that a true leader, upon assuming the presidency, would not require personal staff but would instead serve the nation with a spirit of volunteerism. Such a leader would aim to reduce national expenditure by 70%, redirecting these savings as dividends to the populace. The sole aspiration would be to foster genuine happiness and prosperity among the citizens. Huh Kyung-young (허경영) posits that his spiritual industry (영성 산업) is destined to elevate Korea to the status of the world’s foremost economic power. He dedicates himself daily to alleviating the suffering of the people, demonstrating a profound concern for their well-being. -
The Principle of Spiritual Energy and Public Engagement
Huh Kyung-young (허경영) illustrates the dynamic between a leader and the populace through an analogy of vocalization: when his voice is soft, the audience should respond loudly, and when his voice is strong, they should be quiet. This rhythmic interaction, he explains, is akin to a general’s command, where a subtle gesture can evoke a powerful response from the troops, startling any adversaries. He likens his own reserved demeanor to a nuclear power plant (핵발전소), which operates quietly yet generates immense energy. This analogy underscores the idea that true power and influence do not always manifest through overt displays but can emanate from a calm, concentrated source, capable of producing profound effects. -
Critiques of Energy Policy and Economic Instability
Huh Kyung-young (허경영) criticizes the previous administration’s energy policies, particularly its stance on nuclear power (원자력 발전소). the neglect of nuclear energy has led to an increase in electricity costs and interest rates. The policy of “de-nuclearization” (탈원전) has caused a decline in the nuclear energy sector, despite Korea once being a global leader in nuclear power plant exports. This shift, he argues, has forced reliance on more expensive energy sources, inevitably driving up utility bills. He warns that such economic pressures, including rising interest rates and other negative developments, could lead to an increase in societal despair, including a rise in suicide rates. -
The Four Pillars of Human Reliance: Wisdom, Meaning, Law, and Faith
Huh Kyung-young (허경영) expounds upon the four principles that humans should rely upon, which he refers to as the “four pillars of the mind” (사념체).
Reliance on Wisdom (지혜) over Knowledge (지식): He asserts that one should depend on wisdom rather than mere knowledge. Knowledge, he suggests, can be superficial, whereas wisdom provides deeper insight and understanding.
Reliance on Intent (뜻) over Words (말): He explains that the true meaning behind words, rather than the literal words themselves, should be the focus. He uses the example of a mother’s harsh words, which, despite their severity, are often rooted in a deep love and desire for her child’s well-being. Focusing on the intent prevents misunderstandings and conflicts.
Reliance on Law (법) over People (사람): Huh Kyung-young (허경영) emphasizes that one should rely on universal principles and spiritual laws (불법, 성경) rather than on individuals. People are fallible and can betray trust, leading to disappointment and ruin. He clarifies that “law” here refers not to judicial statutes but to the teachings of enlightened beings like Buddha or Jesus. He warns against investing all trust in a single person, citing the risk of unforeseen circumstances like death or betrayal, which can lead to financial and familial devastation.
Reliance on Faith (믿음) over Human Expectation (사람에 의지): He stresses that faith in a higher power or spiritual truth is more reliable than faith in human beings. When faced with extreme vulnerability, such as incapacitation, human support may wane, but a strong spiritual foundation remains. Ultimately, he argues, even in a national context, it is the law and established systems that provide support when human connections fail.
These principles, he concludes, are crucial for navigating life’s challenges and avoiding the pitfalls of misplaced trust.
- The State of the Nation and the Role of God-man (神人)
Huh Kyung-young (허경영) expresses profound disappointment with the current state of the nation, particularly regarding political integrity and regionalism. He observes that people prioritize regional affiliations (지역) over national well-being, even to their own detriment. He laments that despite his efforts to improve the lives of families and facilitate marriages, he is often excluded from public discourse and opinion polls. He recounts an instance where the National Election Commission (선관위) allegedly instructed polling agencies to exclude him from surveys, which he views as an unjust manipulation of public opinion.
He asserts that people who rely on human institutions or individuals are ultimately destined for failure. True reliance, he states, should be placed on the “White Heaven” (백궁) and on God-man (神人) Huh Kyung-young (허경영). He claims to possess unique abilities, such as healing those whom medical professionals have given up on, demonstrating a power beyond human capability. relying on people, even with good intentions, is ultimately futile, as human existence is transient. Instead, he advocates for reliance on a higher “law” (법), which he equates with religious faith or a spiritual object of devotion, as human beings are inherently unreliable.
-
The Cycle of Rebirth and the Importance of Spiritual Cultivation
Huh Kyung-young (허경영) explains the concept of rebirth (다음 생) using the analogy of a seed (신) and a field (밭). even if one possesses a good “seed” (meaning a noble soul or good karma from a previous life), a poor “field” (referring to the circumstances of one’s next birth) can lead to a difficult existence. He illustrates this with a vivid example: a person who lived as a wealthy individual in one life might be reborn into extreme poverty in Africa, suffering from diseases like AIDS, with no basic amenities. This, he explains, is the consequence of having a “dirty field” (더러운 밭), which results from negative actions in a previous life, such as arrogance, disrespect, or indulgence in vices. He asserts that while the “seed” (soul) may have been noble, the “field” (circumstances of rebirth) reflects past transgressions. -
Media Bias and the Misunderstanding of God-man (神人)
Huh Kyung-young (허경영) criticizes the media for its biased coverage and failure to recognize his true nature. news organizations often ignore him or misrepresent his message, focusing on trivial aspects like his claims of “levitation” (공중부양) or “teleportation” (축지법) rather than the deeper meaning behind his words. He explains that these references are metaphorical, intended to encourage youth to be physically active and to honor the capabilities of their ancestors, who were said to possess such abilities. He laments that the media, driven by self-interest and a focus on academic credentials (학벌), fails to grasp the profound wisdom he offers. He asserts that they prioritize superficial knowledge (지식) over true wisdom (지혜) and literal interpretations (말) over underlying intent (뜻). He warns that those who dismiss him, like the media, are relying on “empty things” (헛것) and will ultimately face negative consequences. -
The Symbolism of the Crescent Moon and the Vision of a New Era
Huh Kyung-young (허경영) uses the symbolism of the crescent moon to distinguish between those destined for success and those headed for decline. He identifies himself with the “upper crescent moon” (상현달), which signifies growth and rising fortune, typically appearing around the 8th or 9th day of the lunar month. In contrast, he associates those who rely on self-interest, academic background, and superficial rhetoric with the “lower crescent moon” (하현달), which appears around the 28th or 29th day and symbolizes decline and eventual disappearance. He asserts that those who embrace his teachings will experience a “upper crescent moon” (상현달) fate, while those who reject them will face a “lower crescent moon” (하현달) destiny.
He extends this celestial metaphor to the political landscape, stating that the media views him as a “lower crescent moon” (하현달) figure, lacking significance. However, he explains that just as stars are visible only in darkness, military leaders (별) emerge during times of national crisis. He cites historical examples like President Park Chung-hee (박 대통령), who rose to power when the nation was in a “dark” (깜깜할 때) state. Conversely, he likens his own appearance to the “shining sun” (태양이 빛나는 날), which makes the “stars” (별) invisible. This signifies that his presence ushers in an era of clarity and prosperity, rendering the old, “dark” (시커먼) forces powerless. his light is so bright that those who operate in darkness cannot perceive him.
- Strategic Communication: Soft and Hard Approaches
Huh Kyung-young (허경영) outlines two distinct communication strategies for promoting his message: the “soft approach” (소프트 어프로치) and the “hard approach” (하드 어프로치).
Soft Approach (소프트 어프로치): This method is ideal for one-on-one interactions, such as a conversation with a taxi driver. It involves sharing his personal story and vision in a way that resonates emotionally and opens the listener’s mind. He suggests recounting his humble beginnings, his experiences as an orphan, his self-education, his work in factories, his mentorship by a prominent figure, and his extensive philanthropic efforts, which earned him the nickname “Pestalozzi of Korea” (한국의 페스탈로찌). He emphasizes his commitment to serving the nation without personal gain, promising to use his own funds for presidential expenses and to transform Korea into a wealthy nation, providing universal basic income and a one-time payment of 100 million won. This narrative aims to build trust and emotional connection.
Hard Approach (하드 어프로치): This method is suitable for large public gatherings. It involves direct and impactful messaging, such as boldly announcing his key policies like the 150 million won monthly payment and the 100 million won one-time payment. He stresses the importance of tailoring the communication style to the specific context, as using a “soft approach” (소프트 어프로치) in a public setting would be perceived as inappropriate, while a “hard approach” (하드 어프로치) in a private conversation might be too aggressive.
He asserts that understanding these communication tactics is crucial for effectively disseminating his message, especially during an election campaign.
- Addressing Electoral Injustice and Systemic Flaws
Huh Kyung-young (허경영) addresses the issue of electoral injustice, particularly the exclusion of his candidacy from opinion polls and debates. He highlights the “devil’s loop” (악마의 루프) created by existing election laws, where low approval ratings lead to exclusion from debates, which in turn perpetuates low ratings. He criticizes the creation of “satellite parties” (비례 위성 정당) by major political parties, which he views as an unconstitutional act designed to suppress smaller parties and maintain the power of the establishment. He points out that the National Election Commission (중앙선관위), a constitutional body, approved these satellite parties despite constitutional violations, siding with the ruling party.
this systemic manipulation prevents qualified candidates like himself, who have significant public support, from participating in the democratic process. He cites an instance where a candidate with 0.3% support was included in polls, while he, with 5.7% support, was consistently excluded. He categorizes these actions as illegal (불법), expedient (편법), unlawful (위법), evasive (탈법), and criminal (범법), asserting that such practices perpetuate a system where citizens are burdened with taxes and deprived of their rights.
- Economic Reforms and Social Welfare Policies
Huh Kyung-young (허경영) outlines his comprehensive economic and social welfare policies, which he claims will liberate citizens from financial burdens.
Abolition of Taxes and Social Insurance: He pledges to eliminate property taxes (재산세), car ownership taxes (자동차 보유세), and income taxes (갑근세) for most citizens. He also promises to abolish the four major social insurance programs (4대 연금): national pension (국민연금), employment insurance (고용보험), industrial accident compensation insurance (산재보험), and health insurance (의료보험) for middle and lower-income individuals. For these groups, the government would cover the employer’s share of health insurance, while the state would cover the remaining half.
Free Public Services: He proposes to eliminate highway tolls (고속도로 통행료), integrating them into fuel costs, making travel free.
Universal Basic Income and Emergency Relief: He reiterates his commitment to providing a one-time “COVID-19 emergency living expense” (코로나 긴급 생계 지원금) of 100 million won per adult and a monthly “national dividend” (국민 배당금) of 1.5 million won. These funds, he explains, would be derived from a 70% reduction in wasteful government spending.
Debt Relief and Economic Activation: He asserts that these measures would alleviate the financial burdens of citizens, allowing them to repay debts and stimulating the economy. He believes that by returning wealth to the people, a “paradise on earth” (지상 낙원) can be created.
these policies are not driven by personal gain, as he would serve as president without a salary, using his own funds for official expenses. He warns that religious leaders who fail to recognize his true identity will eventually regret their ignorance.
- Addressing Public Concerns: Housing, Labor, and Agriculture
Huh Kyung-young (허경영) addresses various public concerns, offering solutions that reflect his vision for a more equitable and efficient society.
Housing Contract Disputes: For individuals entangled in unresolved apartment contract disputes, he promises that the government will intervene to resolve these issues collectively. after providing the 100 million won emergency relief, the state will systematically address cases where contractors have absconded or projects are stalled. This would eliminate the need for individuals to pursue lengthy and costly lawsuits, with the government ensuring that all victims receive their money back. He pledges to establish a dedicated department under the Minister of Construction to handle these cases, aiming for resolution within six months of his presidency.
Labor Market Transformation: He envisions a future where the “national dividend” (국민 배당금) allows for greater flexibility in the labor market, with a significant increase in part-time and temporary positions (비정규직). This would eliminate unemployment, as individuals would no longer be tied to a single job for survival. People would work fewer hours, pursue multiple interests, and view work as a hobby rather than a necessity. Even public servants (공무원) would see an increase in part-time roles. This shift, he believes, would create a more enjoyable and less stressful work environment, fostering greater freedom and leisure.
Agricultural Modernization and Rural Development: He supports the concept of “national rural new deal complexes” (전국구 농촌 뉴딜 단지), where land can be entrusted to state-run companies. Farmers would receive a “land dividend” (토지 배당금) based on their land’s contribution, eliminating the need to incur debt for farming. These complexes would modernize agriculture, mechanize farming, and eliminate the use of pesticides, ensuring a self-sufficient and healthy food supply. He emphasizes the importance of preserving traditional farming knowledge by having younger generations learn from elderly farmers in these complexes. He also states that those residing near these complexes could commute from home and would receive a separate monthly payment of 1 million won in addition to the national dividend.
- Immigration, Dual Citizenship, and Global Harmony
Huh Kyung-young (허경영) outlines his policies concerning immigration, dual citizenship, and international relations, emphasizing a vision of global unity.
Support for Overseas Koreans: He confirms that overseas Koreans (재외 동포), regardless of their current residence, will be eligible for the 100 million won “COVID-19 emergency living expense” (코로나 긴급 생계 지원금) and the monthly “national dividend” (국민 배당금) if they are 18 years or older. He welcomes the return of Koreans to their homeland, noting that Asia will be the safest region during future climate changes.
Dual Citizenship: He advocates for the abolition of age restrictions for dual citizenship (이중 국적), allowing any overseas Korean to apply.
Visa Policies and Global Unity: He supports expanding visa-free agreements (무비자 계약) with countries like Canada, viewing this as a step towards global unification. He believes that increasing visa-free travel will eventually lead to a world without national borders.
Foreign Workers’ Welfare: foreign workers (외국 국적 근로자) will also experience improved conditions under his administration. He plans to enhance their living and working environments, particularly in 3D (dirty, difficult, dangerous) industries, ensuring better health and hygiene standards. He asserts that as God-man (神人), he transcends national boundaries and views all humans equally, promising to address their needs and improve their lives. He acknowledges the need to maintain Korea’s population of 50 million, suggesting that a diverse population will contribute to this goal.
- Economic Analysis of the 100 Million Won Policy
Huh Kyung-young (허경영) presents an analysis of his policy to distribute 100 million won to every adult, referencing a study by a KAIST (카이스트) scholar.
Policy Overview: The policy, part of his “33 policies” (33 정책), aims to provide 100 million won to all adults over 18 to help them repay debts, as most Koreans are currently burdened by loans.
Financial Implications: With approximately 42 million adults, the total cost would be 4,200 trillion won. He acknowledges this is a substantial sum, far exceeding the annual national budget (600 trillion won) and national debt (2,000 trillion won). He asserts that the funds can be generated through “quantitative easing” (양적 완화), essentially printing money.
Potential Side Effects and Benefits:
Inflation and Asset Price Increase: He admits that printing money could lead to a decrease in the value of money, an increase in inflation, and a rise in asset prices (주식, 부동산).
Debt Relief: The primary benefit, as highlighted by the KAIST analysis, is the significant reduction in debt for the middle and lower classes. The analysis suggests that while the wealthy might see little change, ordinary citizens and the poor would largely eliminate their debts.
Economic Activation: Huh Kyung-young (허경영) expands on the KAIST analysis, arguing that the policy would do more than just reduce debt. The 4,000 trillion won injected into the economy would circulate, stimulating economic activity, increasing tax revenues, and boosting business for enterprises.
Improved Credit and Employment: He predicts that the credit ratings of ordinary citizens would improve, leading to increased employment as businesses expand due to heightened demand.
Social Harmony and Birth Rate Increase: He controversially suggests that the financial relief would reduce marital conflicts, lower divorce rates, and ultimately lead to an increase in the birth rate, eliminating the need for separate birth promotion policies. He believes that financial security fosters patriotism and social cohesion.
Comparison to Japan: He draws a parallel to Japan’s economic stability, attributing it to low interest rates, and warns that Korea’s rising interest rates and taxes (공시지가율) are pushing the nation towards ruin. He asserts that his policies, based on a comprehensive understanding of macro and microeconomics, are essential to prevent this decline.
- Support for Artists and the Spiritual Mission of God-man (神人)
Huh Kyung-young (허경영) addresses the plight of unknown artists and reiterates his spiritual mission.
Artist Support: He acknowledges the struggles of unknown singers (무명 가수), who often perform without pay and even incur expenses for their performances. He promises that artists will receive support beyond the “national dividend” (국민 배당금), including housing assistance and activity funds for album production and other creative endeavors. He emphasizes his appreciation for artists and his commitment to their well-being.
Spiritual Guidance and Political Reform: He responds to a suggestion that he should focus solely on his “33 policies” (33 정책) during the election, rather than discussing Haneulgung (하늘궁) or spiritual matters. He explains that while he generally refrains from religious discourse during campaigns, Haneulgung (하늘궁) is already widely known. He clarifies that Haneulgung (하늘궁) is not a religion but a place that provides direction for world religions and offers spiritual guidance. He asserts that he is a “political messiah” (정치적 메시아) who has come to Earth during a time of environmental degradation and global crisis, unlike Jesus, who appeared in a less polluted era. He believes that without his intervention, humanity faces a future of “slavery to capital” (자본의 노예).
The Role of the People: his followers are his “hands and feet” (손과 다리), forming a “Heaven army” (하늘 군대). they should not question his teachings but rather act as his extensions, helping the less fortunate. He contrasts this humble, obedient role with the “demonic” (마귀적) tendency of those who rely on their own intellect and pride, questioning his authenticity. He asserts that his wisdom is beyond human comprehension, and his followers’ role is to act on his words.
Global Impact and Divine Judgment: He warns that those who criticize him are hindering the nation’s blessings, likening it to the biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah, where the absence of righteous individuals led to destruction. He implies that the current media bias against him is a reflection of the people’s insufficient efforts to recognize and support him. his power has already transcended earthly boundaries and is influencing the world. He concludes that his mission is to resolve global conflicts, such as environmental pollution, which conventional politicians, focused only on their own nations, cannot address. He contrasts his humble demeanor with the arrogance of those in power, who are blinded by their own self-importance.

Scriptural / Religious Citations
Bible (Genesis 18:23-32, Sodom and Gomorrah): “소돔과 고성을 폭파시키기 전에 의인 100명만 있으면 봐준다. 나중에는 의인 10명만 좀 봐주면 봐달라 하니까 50명. 그래, 50명 있으면 해 봐라. 50명도 없잖아. 나중에는 몇 명이야? 10명만 있으면 좀 봐 주세요. 그래, 10명 찾아봐라. 10명도 없어요. 하나님. 그러니까 야, 그러면 의인 한 명만 있으면 내가 봐 줄게. 한 명이 나왔나? 안 나오니까 폭파시켜 버리잖아.” (Before destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, it was said that if there were 100 righteous people, it would be spared. Later, it was asked if it could be spared for 10 righteous people, then 50. “Okay, find 50.” There weren’t even 50. Later, how many? “Please spare it if there are 10.” “Okay, find 10.” There weren’t even 10. God. “Okay, if there’s just one righteous person, I’ll spare it.” Was there one? No, so it was destroyed.) -

Conclusion & Strategic / Philosophical Implications
The lecture concludes with a strong assertion of God-man’s unique ability to solve the world’s problems, which ordinary politicians cannot. The final message is a call for the audience to become God-man’s “hands and feet” by actively supporting his vision and spreading his message, rather than relying on their own limited intellect or being swayed by external criticisms. The philosophical implication is that humanity is in a “mal-se” (end times) requiring a spiritual leader to transcend national boundaries and address systemic issues like environmental degradation, economic inequality, and global power struggles. Those who recognize and support God-man(神인) are deemed “righteous” and will receive blessings, while those who criticize or remain ignorant will suffer. The strategic implication is that collective action by his followers is crucial for his success, as he provides the “intelligence” and they provide the “action.” -
Cross-Referencing
“Korea’s Pestalozzi”: Huh references this nickname, stating it appeared in JoongAng Ilbo and Weekly JoongAng, indicating a history of social work.
“The Mugunghwa Flower Has Not Withered” (무궁화 꽃은 지지 않았다): Huh refers to his book, describing it as a “soft approach” tool that reveals his true nature and was written with tears. This suggests a deeper, more emotional connection to his past and mission.
“My Father Was a Man of Independence”: This is a widely known narrative about Huh’s background, which he uses as part of his “soft approach” campaign strategy. -
Content Gaps & Unaddressed Areas
Specifics of Budget Reduction: While Huh states he will cut 70% of the national budget by eliminating “wasteful, pork-barrel projects,” he does not provide concrete examples of which specific programs or departments would be cut, or how such a drastic reduction would be achieved without impacting essential services.
Inflation Control: The KAIST professor’s analysis mentions inflation and asset price increases as potential side effects of quantitative easing. While Huh acknowledges this, he does not detail specific mechanisms or policies to control these negative impacts beyond the general idea that economic activity will increase.
Implementation Details of New Deal Complexes: While the concept of New Deal complexes is outlined, the practicalities of land acquisition, management structure, and how the “land dividends” would be calculated and distributed are not fully elaborated.
Legal Framework for “Spiritual Training Camp”: The legal basis for establishing a “spiritual training camp” for politicians and the process for mandatory attendance are not explained. The nature of “crimes” that would lead to such training is also vague.
International Relations Strategy: Beyond stating that God-man will “spiritually control” global power struggles, the lecture lacks concrete diplomatic or foreign policy strategies for navigating complex international relations.
Funding for Artist Support: While support for artists is promised, the specific funding mechanisms and criteria for receiving benefits beyond the national dividend are not detailed.
Impact on Existing Industries: The shift to 80% non-regular workers and flexible hours is presented as beneficial, but the potential disruption to traditional industries and the transition support for existing full-time employees are not discussed. -

Executive Insight
Huh Kyung-young’s lecture outlines a radical vision for Korea, centered on a comprehensive economic overhaul and a spiritual approach to governance. His core proposals, such as the 100 million won “corona emergency living support” and monthly national dividends, are presented as solutions to national debt and economic stagnation, with a KAIST analysis partially supporting the debt relief aspect. Beyond economics, Huh addresses social issues like political corruption, environmental degradation, and global power dynamics, asserting his unique God-man status as the ultimate solution. The strategic takeaway for a professional reader is to recognize the blend of populist economic policies with a strong, almost messianic, personal narrative. This approach aims to mobilize a dedicated base by promising direct financial relief and a complete societal transformation, while simultaneously dismissing traditional political processes and critics as misguided or corrupt. The emphasis on “soft” and “hard” campaign strategies highlights a calculated effort to appeal to different segments of the populace, underscoring a sophisticated, albeit unconventional, political communication strategy.
What is the core message of this lecture? It emphasizes that true wisdom lies in relying on truth and principles, not on people or worldly gains, to avoid disappointment and achieve a better life.
- Introduction to Huh Kyung-young’s Vision
Huh Kyung-young, a presidential candidate, aims to transform South Korea into the world’s leading economic power by implementing policies that prioritize citizens’ well-being and financial stability.
1.1. Huh Kyung-young’s Presidential Promises
Huh Kyung-young, if elected president, plans to operate without a secretary and serve the nation voluntarily.
He intends to save 70% of the national budget and return it to citizens as dividends.
His primary goal is to ensure the happiness and prosperity of the people.
Huh Kyung-young’s spiritual industry is projected to make Korea the world’s top economic power.
He is dedicated to alleviating the suffering of the public, constantly striving to address their concerns.
The current administration’s energy policies, particularly the nuclear phase-out, are causing electricity rates and interest rates to rise.
This policy has led to a decline in the nuclear power industry, despite Korea being a top exporter of nuclear power plants.
Rising costs could lead to an increase in suicides among the public.
However, those who attend Huh Kyung-young’s lectures at Haneulgung will be safe.
- Principles of Reliance and Wisdom
True wisdom comes from relying on truth and principles, not on personal gain, knowledge, or unreliable individuals, to avoid disappointment and achieve a stable life.
2.1. The Four Principles of Reliance
One should rely on truth (의진 진리) rather than personal gain (불의 이익).
Relying on profit can lead to being considered a cult (사이비).
One should rely on wisdom (지혜) rather than mere knowledge (지식).
One should rely on the true meaning (뜻) behind words, not just the words themselves (말).
For example, a mother telling her child to “go die” might actually mean she wants them to succeed and become strong.
Focusing on the literal words can lead to arguments and misunderstandings.
One should rely on law (법), which refers to the teachings of saints and scriptures, rather than people (사람).
Relying on people can lead to betrayal and disappointment, ultimately ruining one’s life.
For instance, lending all your money to one person is risky because they might die unexpectedly, leaving you with nothing.
Such actions can lead to family disputes and financial ruin.
2.2. The Unreliability of Human and Worldly Reliance
People are unreliable and will eventually leave you, especially during times of hardship.
Therefore, it is crucial to have faith and rely on the law (법), which represents a higher truth or belief system.
He expresses disappointment in the current political landscape, where people are swayed by regionalism rather than true leadership.
He criticizes the media and election commission for excluding him from polls and debates, despite his qualifications and public interest.
relying on people ultimately leads to failure, whereas he offers solutions for those abandoned by conventional systems.
The concept of “four abodes of mindfulness” (사념처) emphasizes relying on these four principles for a stable life.
This means using one’s mind in a structured way, focusing on truth, wisdom, meaning, and divine law.
- Critiques of Current Society and Political System
He criticizes the current political and media landscape for its corruption, regionalism, and failure to recognize true leadership, leading to societal decline.
3.1. Political and Media Corruption
He expresses deep disappointment in the current political system, stating that politicians are untrustworthy and driven by regionalism.
He criticizes the media and election commission for deliberately excluding him from polls and debates, despite his significant public support.
He believes this exclusion is a deliberate attempt to prevent him from becoming president.
He criticizes the media for focusing on trivial matters, like his “levitation” claims, instead of understanding the deeper meaning of his messages.
He explains that his mentions of levitation and “chukjibeop” (縮地法, a mythical ability to shrink distances) are metaphors for encouraging physical and mental discipline, similar to what ancestors practiced.
He warns that those who misrepresent him will face consequences.
society often relies on superficial qualities like academic background (학벌) rather than true wisdom.
This misplaced reliance leads people to ignore genuine leaders and focus on “worthless things” (헛것).
3.2. Metaphor of the Moon: Upper Crescent vs. Lower Crescent
He uses the metaphor of the upper crescent moon (상현달) and lower crescent moon (하현달) to describe people’s destinies.
The upper crescent moon, which grows brighter, represents those who follow his teachings and succeed.
The lower crescent moon, which wanes, represents those who are arrogant, self-important, and rely on worldly gains, ultimately leading to their downfall.
He implies that he embodies the upper crescent moon, while his detractors are like the lower crescent moon.
He criticizes the media for viewing him as a “lower crescent moon” (하현달) despite his true nature.
He explains that just as stars are only visible in the dark, military leaders (represented by stars) appear when a nation is in crisis.
However, when the “sun” (태양), representing him, shines brightly, the “stars” (별들) become invisible, signifying his overwhelming presence and ability to solve national problems.
- Campaign Strategy and Public Engagement
He outlines his campaign strategy, emphasizing different communication approaches for various audiences and highlighting the importance of educating the public about his background and policies.
4.1. Soft vs. Hard Approach in Campaigning
He explains two advertising techniques: soft approach (소프트 어프로치) and hard approach (하드 어프로치).
The soft approach is ideal for one-on-one interactions, like talking to a taxi driver, where personal stories and background information are shared.
The hard approach is more suitable for large public gatherings, focusing on direct policy promises like “150 million won” or “100 million won”.
He emphasizes the need to adapt the message and image to the specific audience and situation.
4.2. Promoting Huh Kyung-young’s Background and Policies
He details his personal history as part of the soft approach, including his birth during the Korean War, his father’s unjust execution, his mother’s struggles, and his self-education while working.
He also mentions his experience working in factories, attending night schools, and eventually meeting influential political leaders.
He highlights his philanthropic work, earning him the nickname “Pestalozzi of Korea” for helping 15,000 impoverished individuals.
He emphasizes his unique abilities and commitment to serving the nation without personal gain, promising to use his own funds for presidential expenses and not take a salary.
His key policy promises include making Korea a top-tier wealthy nation, providing 100 million won in emergency relief, and a monthly 1.5 million won basic income.
This comprehensive narrative aims to win over individuals by appealing to their emotions and demonstrating his dedication.
- Allegations of Election Irregularities
He presents evidence of alleged manipulation in election polls, claiming that his candidacy is being deliberately excluded and suppressed by the election commission and media.
5.1. Exclusion from Opinion Polls
He plays a recorded phone call where an opinion poll agency states they were instructed by the National Election Commission (선거관리위원회) to exclude Huh Kyung-young from their surveys.
This exclusion is deemed “illegal” and “unethical” by the speaker, as other candidates with lower support are included.
this manipulation prevents the public from accurately assessing his support, which he believes is much higher than reported.
5.2. Systemic Disadvantage for Minor Parties
He criticizes the current political system for creating an “evil loop” that prevents new forces from entering politics.
This includes using satellite parties (위성정당) to block smaller parties and manipulating opinion polls to deny debate participation.
He specifically points out the Democratic Party’s creation of satellite parties, which he considers illegal and a violation of the constitution.
He criticizes the National Election Commission for approving these illegal actions, effectively siding with the ruling party.
He warns that those responsible for these actions will face consequences, as their actions are transparently corrupt.
- Policy Proposals for National Reform
He outlines his comprehensive policy proposals aimed at alleviating financial burdens on citizens, reforming the agricultural sector, and addressing housing issues, all while promoting a more equitable and prosperous society.
6.1. Financial Relief and Economic Revitalization
He promises to abolish various taxes and social insurance premiums if elected president.
This includes property tax (재산세), automobile ownership tax (자동차 보유세), and the four major social insurance programs (4대 연금: national pension, employment insurance, industrial accident compensation insurance, and health insurance) for middle and lower-income citizens.
the government, with its increased tax revenue from economic growth, will cover these costs.
He aims to eliminate income tax for salaried workers, allowing them to keep their full wages.
This, combined with the National Dividend (국민 배당금), will significantly improve citizens’ financial well-being.
He asserts that these policies are based on sound economic principles and will create a “paradise on Earth”.
6.2. Addressing Housing and Agricultural Challenges
He proposes a solution for victims of fraudulent apartment contracts, promising that the government will intervene to resolve disputes and ensure full refunds.
This will prevent individuals from enduring lengthy legal battles and suffering financial and health consequences.
He guarantees that all cases will be resolved within six months of his presidency.
He rejects the idea of consumer subsidies for eco-friendly agricultural products, arguing that it complicates normal transactions.
Instead, he supports existing practices like store-specific discounts and loyalty points.
the National Dividend and Rural New Deal Complex (농촌 뉴딜 단지) are separate initiatives.
The Rural New Deal Complex will provide a monthly 1 million won, in addition to the 1.5 million won National Dividend, for those who participate.
This will create a flexible job market with more part-time positions, eliminating unemployment and allowing people to work for enjoyment rather than necessity.
He plans to modernize agriculture to achieve food self-sufficiency, as currently 80% of food is imported and often contaminated.
The New Deal Complexes will involve the elderly sharing their traditional farming knowledge with younger generations, ensuring the preservation of agricultural techniques.
Landowners can entrust their fields to these complexes and receive dividends, eliminating the need for farmers to incur debt.
This will lead to large-scale, mechanized, and pesticide-free farming, improving food quality and farmer livelihoods.
6.3. Virtual Currency and Environmental Regulations
He supports virtual currencies but emphasizes the need for government regulation to prevent fraud and protect investors.
He criticizes the media for not educating the public about scams like voice phishing (보이스피싱), instead focusing on political disputes.
He believes that the current media landscape is failing the public and leading the country towards disaster.
He addresses concerns about paint fumes from neighboring properties, acknowledging the health risks associated with such odors.
While respecting property rights, he suggests that residents temporarily relocate or ventilate their homes.
He proposes legal reforms to encourage wallpapering over painting in residential areas to minimize harm to neighbors.
- Vision for a Transformed Society
He outlines his vision for a transformed society, including educational reforms, improved working conditions, and a more inclusive approach to foreign residents, all under his leadership.
7.1. Reforming Politics and Education
He dismisses concerns about politicians escaping “spiritual re-education camps” (정신 교육대), stating that participants will find the experience beneficial and enriching.
These camps are designed to educate politicians on fundamental principles, offering a chance for personal growth and a break from stressful political life.
They will provide high-quality education, including various languages and humanities, aiming to foster a sense of purpose for humanity.
He claims these camps will be superior to institutions like Harvard University, offering free education and a supportive environment.
7.2. Labor Reforms and Support for Foreign Workers
He addresses concerns about potential labor shortages due to the abolition of military service exemptions for small and medium-sized enterprises and the income gap for foreign workers.
the National Dividend will improve working conditions in 3D (dirty, difficult, dangerous) industries, making them more appealing.
He plans to inspect and reform factory environments to ensure worker health and safety, including waste management.
For Rural New Deal Complexes, commuting from nearby homes is allowed, and couples can live together, enjoying shared meals and various cultural activities.
The complexes will host singers and lecturers, providing entertainment and educational opportunities.
Family members not in the complex will also receive financial support, eliminating financial worries.
He promises to improve the treatment of foreign workers, offering support for their children and daily lives, as Korea transitions into a multicultural society.
He views all humans as equal, regardless of nationality, and aims to address their needs.
While there will be limits to the number of foreign residents, they will help maintain Korea’s population.
The monthly 1 million won for New Deal Complex participants is a fixed salary, with no additional allowances planned at present.
- Regional Development and International Relations
He outlines his plans for balanced regional development, including new airports and a mega-city in Chungcheong Province, and discusses his approach to international relations, emphasizing the need for spiritual leadership to navigate global power struggles.
8.1. Balanced Regional Development
He categorizes Korean regions by their characteristics: Jeolla Province as “wind-swept willow” (풍전세류) for its artistic nature, Chungcheong Province as “clear wind and bright moon” (청풍명월) for its scenic beauty, and Gyeongsang Province as “great mountains and rugged peaks” (태산준령) for its strong-willed people.
He notes that Chungcheong Province, despite its central location, has not produced a president.
He proposes establishing a Seoul National University mega-city (서울대 메가시티) and a world-class airport in Chungcheong Province.
This airport would serve as a crucial alternative during wartime, as Incheon Airport is too close to North Korea.
He also plans to build major airports in Busan (Gadeokdo) and Daegu, and potentially Gwangju, to enhance national security and transportation infrastructure.
8.2. Navigating Global Power Struggles
He addresses the power struggle between the US and China, and the broader four-way rivalry including Russia and Japan.
He warns that these conflicts could lead to wars in areas like the Taiwan Strait or the Korean Peninsula, overwhelming Korea’s ability to respond.
He asserts that a spiritual leader (영적 지도자) is needed to manage these international conflicts through spiritual means.
He emphasizes the integration of spirituality (영성) into politics, science, and medicine, claiming to be the one to bring this change.
He warns that those who dismiss him as a cult leader will suffer, while those who support him will prosper.
He uses the biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah to illustrate that a nation’s fate depends on the number of righteous people who recognize and support him.
- Addressing Citizen Concerns and Policy Details
He addresses various citizen concerns, from social issues and immigration policies to support for artists and the financial implications of his proposed National Dividend, emphasizing his unique ability to solve complex problems.
9.1. Social Issues and Immigration Policies
He addresses the issue of extremely rational individuals who disregard the vulnerable, stating that such ideological conflicts will be resolved under his presidency.
He believes that the current “chaos of ideologies” will quickly be transformed.
He promises to restore visa-free travel (무비자) with countries like Canada and expand such agreements globally, aiming for a future without national borders.
He also plans to eliminate age restrictions for dual citizenship (이중국적), allowing all overseas Koreans to apply.
He reaffirms that all overseas Koreans aged 18 and above will be eligible for the National Dividend and COVID-19 emergency relief funds.
He views overseas Koreans as fellow citizens and intends to provide them with the same benefits.
He criticizes the current political establishment for holding citizens hostage and obstructing his policies, which he believes are designed to benefit everyone.
He asserts that his influence has already surpassed a critical threshold, and those who resist him will eventually be compelled to accept his vision.
9.2. Economic Impact of the National Dividend
A KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) professor’s analysis of Huh Kyung-young’s policy to provide 100 million won to every adult citizen is presented.
The policy aims to help citizens repay debt, as most Koreans are currently burdened by loans.
The total cost, 4,200 trillion won for 42 million adults, is substantial but can be financed by printing money.
Potential side effects include currency devaluation, inflation, and asset price increases (stocks, real estate).
The analysis shows that giving 100 million won to each citizen would primarily be used to pay off debt, especially for the poor and middle class.
After debt repayment, the poor would have no debt, the middle class would have some remaining assets, and the wealthy would see a slight reduction in their larger debts.
While currency value might drop by 20% and asset values rise by 10%, the overall effect is a significant debt reduction for the middle and lower classes.
He elaborates on the KAIST analysis, highlighting additional benefits not mentioned by the professor.
He explains that the 4,000 trillion won injected into the economy will stimulate economic activity, increase tax revenue, and boost employment.
He also predicts a rise in national pride, a decrease in divorce rates, and an increase in birth rates due to improved financial stability.
this policy is far more effective than current government spending on population growth initiatives.
He believes that financial security will foster harmony between the rich and poor, as everyone benefits from a thriving economy.
9.3. Support for Artists and Religious Understanding
He acknowledges the struggles of unknown singers (무명 가수), who often perform for free or even pay to participate in events.
He promises to provide support for artists beyond the National Dividend, including housing assistance, activity funds, and investment for album production.
He emphasizes his appreciation for artists and his commitment to their well-being.
He addresses concerns from religious groups who misunderstand him as a cult leader.
He clarifies that his teachings are not a religion but rather a guide for all world religions, providing direction for those who are lost.
He asserts his role as a political messiah (정치적 메시아) who has come to address the world’s environmental and societal crises, which traditional politicians cannot solve.
He views the current era as a “doomsday” (말세) due to pollution and global shifts, necessitating his intervention to prevent humanity from becoming “slaves of capital”.
- Conclusion: The Path to National Salvation
He concludes by reiterating his commitment to national salvation through his unique policies, emphasizing the importance of public support and understanding of his comprehensive vision for economic and social reform.
10.1. The Power of the National Dividend and Economic Vision
He highlights a video created by a supporter that effectively summarizes his key policies.
The video explains that the National Dividend of 100 million won will help citizens repay debt, freeing up 100 trillion won annually that would otherwise go to interest payments.
This massive influx of money will stimulate the economy, increase sales, and create jobs, benefiting businesses and reducing the need for government aid.
He criticizes the KAIST professor’s analysis for overlooking the significant impact of eliminating interest payments on the economy.
He points out that Japan’s stable economy benefits from low-interest rates, while Korea’s rising interest rates and taxes (property, housing, electricity) are pushing citizens towards ruin.
He asserts that his policies, unlike those of current politicians, are designed to prevent national collapse and ensure public well-being.
10.2. The Role of the Public in Achieving His Vision
he needs the public to be his “hands and feet” (손과 다리) to implement his vision.
He views his supporters as a “Heaven army” (천군) that will carry out his directives.
He stresses that true faith means accepting his teachings without questioning or trying to manipulate them.
He contrasts this humble, obedient approach with the “demonic” (마귀적) behavior of those who rely on their own intellect and arrogance.
his role is to provide the wisdom, while the public’s role is to act upon it.
He believes that only a spiritual leader can address global issues like pollution and international conflicts, which arise from human arrogance and self-interest.
1. The Vision of God-man Huh Kyung-young’s Presidency
God-man Huh Kyung-young envisions a presidency dedicated entirely to public service. He pledges to forgo a personal secretary and operate on a volunteer basis, aiming to reallocate 70% of the national budget as dividends to the citizens. His sole aspiration is for the people to live in genuine happiness and prosperity. God-man Huh Kyung-young’s spiritual industry is poised to elevate Korea to the world’s leading economic power. He tirelessly strives daily to alleviate the suffering of the populace, demonstrating profound concern for their well-being.
-
The Essence of True Leadership: Commanding Presence
God-man the importance of a leader’s commanding presence. He illustrates this with an analogy: when he speaks softly, the audience should respond loudly, and when he speaks loudly, they should be quiet. This synchronized response creates an awe-inspiring atmosphere, akin to an army whose general’s mere whisper can incite a powerful roar. He recounts a story of a general whose fierce gaze and loud cry caused hundreds of charging bulls to stumble, highlighting the power of such an aura. This demonstrates the kind of spirit and resolve that he embodies and expects from his followers. -
Energy Policy and Economic Challenges
God-man Huh Kyung-young criticizes the previous administration’s energy policies, particularly its stance on nuclear power. He notes that the neglect of nuclear power plants has led to rising electricity costs and interest rates. He explains that nuclear energy is the most affordable source, and the “de-nuclearization” policy has caused experts in the field to leave, despite Korea once being a global leader in nuclear power plant exports. These misguided policies, he warns, will lead to increased financial burdens for citizens, potentially resulting in a rise in suicides. -
The Four Pillars of Human Reliance: Wisdom, Meaning, Law, and Faith
God-man Huh Kyung-young expounds on the four principles humans should rely upon, contrasting them with misguided dependencies.
Reliance on Wisdom, Not Knowledge: He asserts that one should rely on wisdom rather than mere knowledge. Knowledge, he implies, can be superficial, whereas wisdom provides deeper understanding and guidance.
Reliance on Meaning, Not Words: He uses the example of a mother’s harsh words to her child. While her words might be “go die,” the underlying meaning is one of love and a desire for the child to become strong and self-reliant. Relying solely on the literal words, rather than their true intent, leads to misunderstanding and conflict.
Reliance on Law, Not People: God-man Huh Kyung-young stresses the importance of relying on law—not merely legal statutes, but the teachings of enlightened beings like Jesus or saints, as found in scriptures. Relying on people, he warns, often leads to betrayal, disappointment, and ruin, as individuals are fallible and transient. He advises against entrusting one’s entire fortune to a single person, as circumstances can change unexpectedly.
Reliance on Faith, Not Individuals: When faced with personal hardship, such as illness, people often find themselves abandoned by others. In such times, it is faith and the law (referring to the state’s legal framework and social support systems) that ultimately provide assistance. Human connections are fleeting, but a strong belief system and societal structures offer enduring support.
- Disappointment in the Political Landscape and Media Bias
God-man Huh Kyung-young expresses profound disappointment with the current political climate and media’s treatment of his candidacy.
Political Disillusionment: He laments the public’s strong regional biases, which he believes hinder national progress. He questions why, despite his promises to improve family well-being and facilitate marriages, he is excluded from opinion polls and debates.
Media Exclusion: He recounts an incident where his campaign contacted the National Election Commission (NEC) about his exclusion from opinion polls. The NEC reportedly stated that they were following directives to exclude him, which he finds deeply suspicious and indicative of manipulation. He points out that while candidates with negligible support are included, he, with significant backing, is consistently omitted.
Misrepresentation by the Press: God-man Huh Kyung-young criticizes the media for misrepresenting his statements, particularly his references to “levitation” and “縮地法 (chukjibeop – teleportation).” He explains these were metaphors to encourage youth to be active and strong, like their ancestors, rather than literal claims. He warns that those who distort his message will face consequences.
- The Symbolism of the Crescent Moon: Upper Crescent vs. Lower Crescent
God-man Huh Kyung-young uses the analogy of the crescent moon to describe different types of people and their destinies.
Upper Crescent Moon (上弦月 – Sanghyeonwol): This represents individuals who are humble, wise, and adhere to true principles. God-man Huh Kyung-young identifies himself with the upper crescent moon, symbolizing success and growth.
Lower Crescent Moon (下弦月 – Hayeonwol): This symbolizes those who are arrogant, self-important, and prioritize personal gain, academic background, or superficial rhetoric. Such individuals, he warns, are destined for failure and eventual disappearance, much like the waning moon. He criticizes the media for viewing him as a lower crescent moon, failing to recognize his true significance.
- The Cosmic Order: Stars, Sun, and the Era of God-man Huh Kyung-young
God-man Huh Kyung-young extends his celestial metaphors to explain historical periods and his own role.
The Era of Stars: when a nation is in darkness, “stars” (military figures like Park Chung-hee, Chun Doo-hwan, and Roh Tae-woo) emerge to lead. This signifies a period of military rule or strong authoritarian leadership.
The Era of the Sun: God-man Huh Kyung-young declares that his appearance marks the “day when the sun shines,” signifying an era of bright, clear leadership where the “stars” (military or self-serving powers) are overshadowed and rendered ineffective. He asserts that his light is so bright that those who operate in darkness cannot perceive him.
- Strategic Communication: Hard vs. Soft Approach
God-man Huh Kyung-young outlines two distinct communication strategies for his campaign:
Soft Approach (Soft Bridge/Soft Image): This method is for one-on-one interactions, like a conversation with a taxi driver. It involves sharing his personal story: his birth during wartime, his father’s sacrifice, his difficult childhood as a servant, his self-education, his rise to prominence, his philanthropic work as the “Pestalozzi of Korea,” and his decision to run for president to alleviate suffering. He emphasizes his commitment to public service, including forgoing his salary and using personal funds for presidential expenses, and his promise to make Korea a wealthy nation, providing 100 million won and 1.5 million won monthly to citizens. This narrative aims to open people’s hearts and minds.
Hard Approach (Hard Approach/Hard Message): This strategy is for large public gatherings. It involves direct, impactful messages such as “150 million won” or “100 million won,” focusing on concrete benefits. He warns against using the soft approach in public, as it would be perceived as inappropriate.
- Addressing Systemic Corruption and Unfair Practices
God-man Huh Kyung-young addresses the systemic issues of corruption and unfair practices within the political and electoral systems.
Satellite Parties: He criticizes the creation of “satellite parties” in the National Assembly, which he views as illegal and unconstitutional. these parties were designed to prevent smaller parties, like his own, from gaining seats, thereby maintaining the power of the established parties. He holds the National Election Commission accountable for approving these unconstitutional practices.
Exclusion from Opinion Polls: He reiterates his frustration over being excluded from opinion polls despite having significant support, while candidates with minimal backing are included. He labels this as illegal, unfair, and a violation of electoral principles.
Financial Burdens on Citizens: He connects these political malpractices to the financial burdens placed on citizens, such as property taxes, car ownership taxes, and the four major social insurance premiums (national pension, employment insurance, industrial accident insurance, and health insurance). He pledges to eliminate these burdens for the majority of citizens, ensuring that only the wealthy contribute significantly to taxes, and that the state covers the rest.
- The Divine Mission and the Fate of Religious Leaders
God-man Huh Kyung-young asserts his divine mission and warns religious leaders who fail to recognize him.
Divine Intervention: he is not driven by personal gain but by a mission to serve the nation. He warns that religious leaders who fail to recognize his true identity will eventually regret it deeply, even to the point of suicide, realizing they overlooked a divine presence.
Blindness to Truth: He expresses dismay at the spiritual blindness of people who, despite calling upon a higher power, fail to recognize him when he is present. He compares this to a lover who cannot recognize their deceased partner’s spirit, even when it is tangible.
- Solutions for Societal Problems
God-man Huh Kyung-young offers solutions to various societal problems raised by the audience.
Unfair Election Practices: He reassures his supporters that they should not be discouraged by unfair election practices. He has provided them with strategies, and his divine presence ensures their ultimate success.
The Presidency as a “Corpse-like” Position: He describes the presidential office as a “corpse-like” position, haunted by the spirits of young people who committed suicide due to despair. He believes that only the rightful person, imbued with divine authority, can occupy this seat without succumbing to its negative influences.
Virtual Currency Policy: He acknowledges the potential of virtual currencies but emphasizes the need for government regulation to protect citizens from fraud and market volatility. He proposes that the government identify and promote legitimate virtual currencies while eradicating fraudulent ones. He also criticizes the media for not educating the public about financial scams like voice phishing, instead focusing on political squabbles.
Consumer Subsidies for Eco-Friendly Products: Regarding a proposal for consumer subsidies for eco-friendly agricultural products, God-man Huh Kyung-young rejects the idea of direct government subsidies for specific purchases. He prefers market-driven incentives like store discounts or loyalty points, which are managed by retailers. He clarifies that this is separate from the National Dividend and New Deal Complex initiatives.
Flexible Work and National Dividends: He explains that the National Dividend will enable a shift towards more flexible, part-time work arrangements, reducing unemployment and allowing people to pursue work as a hobby rather than a necessity. This will create a more enjoyable and less stressful work environment.
Unresolved Apartment Contracts: For those entangled in unresolved apartment contracts and legal disputes, he promises that his administration will provide a comprehensive solution. The government will take over these cases, ensuring that all victims receive their money back, without individuals having to endure lengthy and costly legal battles.
“The Mugunghwa Flower Has Not Withered” (무궁화 꽃은 지지 않았다): He highlights his book, “The Mugunghwa Flower Has Not Withered,” as a crucial “soft approach” tool for his campaign. He reveals that the book was written with tears, making it a powerful and emotionally resonant work that helps readers understand his true nature. He urges his supporters to widely promote this book.
Philanthropic Background: He encourages his supporters to emphasize his extensive philanthropic work, such as his long-standing efforts in correctional facilities and his influence on Korean industry, as part of the “soft approach” to showcase his character and contributions.
COVID-19 Relief for Overseas Koreans: He confirms that overseas Koreans (교포 – gyopo) aged 18 and above are eligible for the 100 million won COVID-19 relief fund and other benefits, including the National Dividend. He also states that dual citizenship will not have age restrictions under his presidency.
Future of Asia and Climate Change: He advises overseas Koreans to return to Korea, as Asia, particularly Korea, will be the safest region during future climate change events.
Addressing Paint Fume Nuisance: Regarding a complaint about paint fumes from a neighboring unit, he acknowledges the health risks. While respecting property rights, he suggests that his administration would implement legal measures to encourage wallpapering over painting in residential complexes to prevent such nuisances.
Mental Re-education for Politicians: He addresses concerns about the “Spiritual Re-education Camp” for politicians, assuring that it is not a prison but a place of learning and self-improvement. He believes politicians will welcome the opportunity to study and reflect, finding it more fulfilling than their previous roles. it will be a place of comprehensive education, offering various subjects and cultural activities, ultimately fostering a sense of purpose for humanity.
Policies for Military Service Exemptions and Foreign Workers: there will be no issues with military service exemptions or foreign workers under his administration. He pledges to improve working conditions in 3D (dirty, dangerous, difficult) industries, making them healthier and safer, and to provide support for foreign workers and their families, as he views all humans as transcending national borders.
Agricultural New Deal Complexes: He confirms that those living near agricultural New Deal Complexes can commute from home. The monthly payment of 1 million won is the primary compensation, with other benefits to be considered if needed.
Addressing Labor Shortages in High-Tech Industries: He implies that the overall economic revitalization and flexible work arrangements will alleviate labor shortages in industries like semiconductor manufacturing. He also expresses a willingness to visit such facilities to understand and improve working conditions.
Standardizing Rural Housing Permits: He promises to standardize the diverse permit regulations for rural housing and agricultural structures, which currently vary by local government. This will be achieved by centralizing control under the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, ensuring consistent and fair guidelines.
Agricultural Policy and Food Self-Sufficiency: He outlines a comprehensive agricultural policy focused on achieving food self-sufficiency, currently at a mere 20%. He aims to modernize agriculture through New Deal Complexes, where land can be entrusted to state-run companies. Farmers will receive land dividends and the National Dividend, eliminating the need for debt-ridden farming. These complexes will also serve as training grounds for young people to learn traditional farming techniques from elderly farmers, preserving invaluable knowledge before it is lost.
Regional Development and Infrastructure: He discusses regional development, contrasting the characteristics of different provinces (Jeolla-do, Chungcheong-do, Gyeongsang-do). He proposes establishing a “Seoul Mega City” and a world-class airport in Chungcheong-do, recognizing its strategic central location and the vulnerability of existing airports during wartime. He plans to build multiple modern, large-scale airports across the country for national security and economic development.
Addressing Sociopathic Tendencies and Ideological Conflict: He acknowledges the existence of extremely rational individuals with sociopathic tendencies and the current ideological conflicts. He promises that his presidency will swiftly address these issues, fostering a more harmonious society by changing the prevailing mindset and eliminating ideological confusion.
Visa Policies and Dual Citizenship: He pledges to expand visa-free agreements with countries like Canada, viewing it as a step towards global unification. He also reiterates that dual citizenship will be available to all overseas Koreans, regardless of age, and that they will receive the same benefits as citizens residing in Korea.
- Economic Analysis of the 100 Million Won COVID-19 Relief Fund
God-man Huh Kyung-young presents an analysis by a KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) scholar on the economic impact of his proposed 100 million won COVID-19 relief fund for adults.
Policy Overview: The “33 Policy” includes a 100 million won emergency living expense for all adults over 18, aimed at helping citizens repay debts.
Funding Mechanism: With approximately 42 million adults, the total cost would be 4,200 trillion won. This amount, while substantial (compared to the national budget of 600 trillion won and national debt of 2,000 trillion won), can be generated through quantitative easing (printing money).
Potential Side Effects: Printing such a large sum could lead to a decrease in the value of money, inflation, and an increase in asset prices (stocks and real estate).
Impact on Different Income Groups:
Poor and Middle Class: These groups, often burdened by debt, would primarily use the 100 million won to repay their loans, effectively eliminating their debt.
Wealthy: The wealthy, who typically have larger assets and some debt, would see a reduction in their debt, but their overall financial situation would not change significantly.
Overall Economic Effects: The KAIST scholar concludes that the policy would primarily alleviate the debt burden of the middle and lower classes, with a slight increase in inflation.
- God-man Huh Kyung-young’s Expanded Economic Vision
God-man Huh Kyung-young elaborates on the KAIST scholar’s analysis, highlighting additional benefits and his broader economic perspective.
Beyond Debt Relief: He asserts that the 100 million won policy will not only relieve debt but also stimulate the economy. The 4,000 trillion won injected into the economy will circulate, leading to increased tax revenues and business activity.
Increased Employment and Economic Vitality: As businesses thrive, they will hire more employees, leading to increased employment and overall economic revitalization.
Boost in National Morale and Social Harmony: The financial relief will foster patriotism and reduce domestic conflicts, such as marital disputes, leading to a decrease in divorce rates and an increase in birth rates. This demonstrates a holistic approach that considers social and demographic impacts.
Elimination of Interest Payments: A crucial point missed by the KAIST scholar, according to God-man Huh Kyung-young, is the elimination of annual interest payments on the 4,000 trillion won of debt. This 100 trillion won (approximately 1 trillion won per month) will then circulate in the market, further boosting consumption and economic activity.
Contrast with Current Policies: He criticizes current policies that are raising interest rates, increasing property taxes, and hiking electricity prices, which he believes are driving the nation towards ruin. He contrasts this with Japan’s stable economy due to low-interest rates.
Divine Insight: God-man his understanding of these complex economic and social dynamics surpasses that of even top academic institutions like KAIST and Harvard, as he possesses a divine perspective. He calls upon his followers to be his “hands and feet” in implementing his vision.
- Support for Artists and Cultural Development
God-man Huh Kyung-young addresses the plight of unknown artists and pledges support for the arts.
Challenges for Unknown Artists: He acknowledges that over 300,000 unknown singers struggle financially, often paying to perform rather than being paid, especially during the pandemic.
Comprehensive Support: He promises to provide comprehensive support for artists, including housing assistance and financial aid beyond the National Dividend. This support will cover activity expenses, such as transportation and production costs for albums, without requiring repayment. He emphasizes his appreciation for artists and their contributions to society.
- The Nature of God-man Huh Kyung-young’s Mission: Beyond Religion and Politics
God-man Huh Kyung-young clarifies the nature of his mission, distinguishing it from conventional religion and politics.
Not a Religion: Haneulgung is not a religion but a place for lectures, guiding the direction of world religions.
Political Messiah: He identifies himself as a “political Messiah” who has come to intervene in a world that is in a state of “末世 (mal-se – end times)” due to environmental degradation and global instability. Unlike Jesus, who did not engage in politics, God-man Huh Kyung-young believes political intervention is necessary to prevent humanity from falling into a new era of slavery to capital.
Spiritual Leadership for Global Issues: He asserts that conventional politicians are limited by national interests, making them incapable of addressing global issues like yellow dust pollution or international power struggles. He, as a spiritual leader, can spiritually manage these conflicts, integrating spirituality into politics, science, and medicine.
The Test of Faith: He warns that those who criticize him are hindering the collective blessings of the Korean people. He compares this to the biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah, where the lack of righteous individuals led to destruction. He implies that the continued criticism reflects a lack of understanding and faith among the populace.
The Role of Followers: He explains that he needs his followers to be his “hands and feet,” carrying out his directives to help the less fortunate. true faith lies in accepting his guidance without questioning or attempting to lead.
Humility vs. Arrogance: He contrasts the humble posture of a follower who acts as his “hands and feet” with the arrogant posture of those who question his authenticity and rely on their own limited intellect.
Global Harmony: He concludes that his mission is to resolve global conflicts, such as environmental disputes, that arise from nationalistic self-interest. He sees himself as the one who will bring harmony to a world plagued by arrogance and self-centeredness.
