Cheon Bo Note:
The International Office of the Main Training Center would like to inform you that it brought some confusion the year prior when members who had registered through the EUME group registration came to the Training Center to register for additional liberation or blessings. To avoid creating confusion, you can either register everything through our EUME group registration or directly in person in Korea, not both.
The registration fee for anyone physically attending the Special Great Works at the Main Training Center is 25 euros, regardless of the country's league table.
