Han Hak-ja, the 82-year-old leader of South Korea's Unification Church, was arrested on September 22, 2025, over allegations of bribery linked to former first lady Kim Keon Hee. Prosecutors issued an arrest warrant citing concerns that Han might tamper with evidence. She is accused of directing church staff to deliver luxury gifts, including expensive bags and a necklace, to Kim in exchange for favors benefiting the church's business interests. Han has denied the charges, labeling them as false information. The Unification Church has stated its intention to cooperate with the investigation and restore trust. Han is the widow of the church's founder, Sun Myung Moon, and the organization has faced ongoing controversy since its establishment in 1954. Meanwhile, Kim Keon Hee has also been arrested on separate bribery and stock market manipulation charges.
