According to Moonseong Hospital on Thursday, Nam-gu Health Center informed the hospital that the first confirmed man, an outside parking official, was identified as member of Shincheon-ji church. The wife of another confirmed patient, identified only by her surname A, was also confirmed to be a member of Shincheonji.
