Not surprising given that Paul Yonggi Cho has an amazing prayer ministry there. He has a church of over 35,000 Christian believers. Go South Korean Christians, go!!!

From Biblical Discernment Series 5/93

"Cho's teachings are an idolatrous mix of a little Biblical teaching with a lot of occult healing, prophesying, visualization, sorcery, and pagan mind techniques. Cho teaches that Christians can get anything they want by calling upon the spirit world in the 'fourth dimension' and envisioning (visualizing) their felt needs, no matter how crass and gross. Cho teaches that positive thinking, positive speaking, and positive visualization are the keys to success, and that anyone can literally 'incubate' and give birth to physical reality by creating a vivid image in his or her mind and focusing upon it....

Cho's teaching is a system of mind over matter (or rather, imagination over matter). He frankly admits that it is a Christianized version of precisely the same methods practiced by Buddhists, exponents of yoga, and the followers of other pagan, mystical, and occult systems. The only difference is that their fourth-dimensional power receives co-operation from the devil, while that of Christians supposedly receives help from the Holy Spirit."

At best, this is a self generating, rigid, fixed, psychotic, delusional system with a heavy reliance on magical thinking. At the worst, it is diabolical heresy, as God is, once again, reduced to a mere conjurer, pulling rabbits out of hats.
