Professor Michael Wesch of the Department of Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University visited the Yeoju Headquarters Temple Complex for academic exchange.

Professor Wesch spent most of his time in Korea at the Yeoju Headquarters Temple Complex. He dedicated time to researching and understanding Daesoon Jinrihoe, personally experiencing its doctrine by participating in rituals such as the Chiseong (Ritual of Devotional Offering Ceremony). He also discussed plans for continuous exchange between the religious order and Kansas State University, including consultations for the 'Daesoon Jinrihoe Sangsaeng Stay' program for students from the Department of Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University.
