Full Episode
It is one of the biggest churches in the city of Busan in South Korea. Only nobody really knows it exists. It's in the middle of the woods. You have to be invited in to join the church. But it's also not a cult. This is not a cult story. The church has the capacity to seat 3,500 people, give or take. Sometimes it's 4,000.
There are just what feels like an endless row upon row upon row of rock-hard church pews. Every church member is forced to sit on for hours every single Sunday. The pews, the chairs, they're at a firm 90 degree angle. And because attendance is so high, you're arm to arm.
In the summer, it feels like you and the person next to you are going to fuse together in the flesh because the sweat, the moistness. just touching each other for hours at a time. Winter is not as bad, but every single Sunday, the inevitable moment comes like every Sunday, the red sack people, the pastor, pastor limb at the podium will ask the red sack members to come up.
It looks like a row of red floating balls that just float onto the stage, but they're people they're wearing red burlap sacks and with ugly paint on the front. And the ugly paint reads, I am a sinner who has gone against God's word. Everyone in the church holds their breath as the pastor approaches the Red Sack people. His eyes look soft. They look sympathetic.
He puts his hands on their heads and they bow down. The pastor closes his eyes. In the name of Jesus, you are being punished. Then he moves to the next one. In the name of Jesus, you are being punished. And then the next one by one, he does this to all of them. In the name of Jesus, you're being punished. In the name of Jesus, you're being punished. And then he turns around. The pastor does.
And when he turns back to face the row of red sack wearing people, he has put on a pair of boxing gloves. And bam, he just starts pummeling them one by one to the ground. None of the thousands of people in this church look away. They're not allowed to. Their eyes are glued to the front. None of them stop the pastor. None of them scream. None of them shout. None of them do anything.
until these red sacks at the front are laying down horizontal on the ground, and now they're oozing red liquid. They're dead. The church members think, well, they're lucky if they're dead, actually. He punched them to death?
A lot of them get beaten to death. The church members think, well, they're lucky if they're dead, you know? If they're dead, their bodies will be dragged off, probably to be sold. If not, they're going to repeat this again next week. This is not a cult. This is the Brothers Home, a government-funded camp to cleanse the humans of South Korea for the Olympics.
But instead, the welfare center known as Brothers Home basically is its own torture facility with sick, twisted games played with these prisoners. This is the inspiration behind the Netflix series Squid Games. We would like to thank today's sponsors who have made it possible for Rotten Mango to directly support a survivor of today's episode.
