Hyun-bo Son, a Korean pastor known for his outspoken stance on biblical teachings, remains jailed on election law charges. His case gained fresh international attention recently after his son, Chance Son, spoke in Arizona at Turning Point USA's AMFEST, sharing his father's story with thousands of attendees…
Support from Americans is also growing. That includes the late Charlie Kirk, who met Pastor Son in Seoul at a conference during Kirk's final international appearance. Son said, "My father was able to share what's happening in Korea, especially to the Christian leaders, including himself. And also the possibility that my father could get arrested. My father got arrested two days after he met Charlie."
"Charlie wanted a picture with my father because if my father got arrested, Charlie made sure that he will use his platform and his voice to let America know that this is happening in South Korea and this was important to him because it was an example of what will happen if we don't speak for biblical truth. And also that it can come to American doors, that we should be aware of it."
"Two days after my father's arrest, Charlie Kirk was assassinated," he explained.
Although Kirk is gone, his vow to support Pastor Son was still fulfilled at AMFEST.
When asked how Christians around the world can pray, Chance Son emphasized both justice and perseverance.
"First, for my father's case, for fairness in the legal process," he said. "For my family and myself, for boldness and courage. And knowing that God has already won the battle—for faithfulness to keep fighting the fight with strength."
A final verdict in Pastor Hyun-bo Son's case is expected on January 30.

South?
Yes the current South Korean president is a China sympathizer. Not sure how he sees North Korea and the South’s relationship to it moving forward. (China has its own vision…not necessarily in line with the S. Korean Left.)
But he has a Marxist spirit.
But he has a Marxist spirit.
He may want to re-think that.
