Yoido Full Gospel Church is a megachurch on Yeouido, across from the National Assembly in Seoul. David Yonggi Cho and Choi Ja-shil are its founders, and Sampoong Construction Industries built it. The article names no architect, and the infobox lists the style only as Modern. The only specification given is a capacity of 12,000.
Economic problems, including the 1973 oil shock, delayed construction. The inaugural worship service in the 12,000-seat auditorium was held on August 19, 1973. The article also says the auditorium was expanded to 12,000 seats in 1983. It was called Full Gospel Central Church until 1990.
Figures conflict. The text dates the church's founding to 1958, while the infobox says 1973. Registered membership is given as 870,000, 830,000 as of 2007, and 480,000 in Seoul in 2025. Sunday attendance is 150,000 to 200,000.
