When Lee was jailed in 1982, she took his place and founded Agadongsan, or Baby Garden.  Her followers saw her as the reincarnation of Christ and by joining and following her, to get an eternal and fulfilled life. She imposed strict rules on her disciples, including unmarried couples not being allowed to sleep together and making those involved in her group into manual laborers on the land she bought; creating a compound where they lived and worked. She eventually she became owner of a record company, Synnara Record, which had a heavy presence in the K-pop industry.

Kim learned that her son was infatuated with a girl named Kang Mi-Gyeong, who used to work in their house as a helper, resulting in her being beaten to death. Another murder was of Nak-gwi, a young boy she claimed was possessed. He was held captive in a pigpen, beaten, and ultimately died.
