yoido full gospel church part 2
this is how the church looks like from the front. use the people to get the sense of scale. what can i say, a more than 800,000 people church. there are about 50,000 churches in korea. hence with some calculation, about 1 out of 20 koreans you see in seoul belongs to this church! the biggest church in the world!
