The Church of God claims that Ahn Sang-hong and Jang Gil-jah were married in a secret ceremony on May 18, 1984, making them an official couple. However, since Ahn had a wife named Hwang Won-soon and there were no witnesses to verify their marriage, many suspect that the wedding photo was a forgery. The church released some of their wedding photos in a promotional video and commissioned a forensic examination of excerpts from the released video, which was found not to be a fabrication.

The marriage of groom Ahn Sang-hong and bride Jang Gil-jah is a disgrace that deserves to be deplored, not celebrated. Church of God members must come to their senses
