Hak-ja Han
Hak-ja Han is the leader of the Unification Church, a religious organization founded by her late husband, Sun Myung Moon, in 1954. Following Moon's death in 2012, Han assumed leadership and has since been a controversial figure, particularly due to the church's teachings and its influence in various sectors including business and media. Recently, she has been in the news as South Korean prosecutors sought an arrest warrant for her on charges of bribery and incitement to destroy evidence, linked to alleged attempts to curry favor with political figures, including the former first lady Kim Keon-hee.
