On August 24th, Hong Seok-cheon warned, “Everyone, please be really careful. It spreads quickly. In Africa, Europe, Southeast Asia, the US, and now it’s coming here soon. Please be cautious and practice safe sex.”
He added: “I keep repeating this, and there’s a reason for it. Be extremely careful even when traveling abroad. Once people return from vacation, cases in Korea will likely increase soon. My follower brothers and sisters, remember this well. This is just the beginning. Prevention is key! No drugs, yes condoms!! I need to speak out about mpox.”
