On June 12, 2026, during President Han Hak-ja’s 29th public trial, a witness examination of President Han took place.
Prior to the formal witness examination, President Han stated, “I have never given 100 million won to Representative Kwon Seong-dong. I have never given gifts to Kim Keon-hee, nor have I provided political funds.”
She then explained the reason for current situation, asserting, “It is because Director Yoon Young-ho, whom I trusted and held in high regard, fabricated numerous falsehoods representing the Family Federation,” and spoke about her doctrine for approximately 10 minutes.
Afterward, she stated, “Since I have made my intentions clear, I refuse to answer any further questions.” (*President Han’s opening statement is posted below this article.)

“President Han Hak-ja spent 10 minutes to explain her doctrine… remained silent throughout subsequent questioning”
◆ Major allegations regarding President Han revealed during questioning
During the morning witness examination, President Han Hak-ja refused to testify in response to key questions posed by the defense and the Special Prosecutor.
1. Denied providing 100 million won to Rep. Kwon Seong-dong and giving gifts to Ms. Kim, thereby denying the charges
When the Special Prosecutor asked, “Have you ever met Rep. Kwon at Cheonjeonggung?” President Han replied, “I don’t recall.”
Furthermore, when asked, “Have you ever been informed that a Graf necklace was given to Ms. Kim?” she answered “No,” thereby denying the charges themselves.
However, President Han has previously testified that Rep. Kwon visited Cheongjeonggung twice and that she gave him 1 million won and a tie in a paper bag.
Nevertheless, since she answered “I don’t recall” when asked “Have you ever met Rep. Kwon?” during this trial, this testimony is likely to work against her in the verdict.

2. Whether she supported candidate Yoon Suk-yeol immediately prior to the 20th presidential election
On July 16, 2025, a document presumed to have been authored by Lee Chong-woo—titled “My Position 2 on Yoon Young-ho side’s document ‘Straight Talk on Righteous Arguments’”—revealed that President Han Hak-ja had systematically called for support for Yoon Suk-yeol at a top-secret meeting held at the Lotte Hotel in Jamshil, Seoul, just before the presidential election (March 2, 2022).
Furthermore, this document stated that the Special Prosecutor would wield the sword of justice and thoroughly uncover everything.
This content spread via KakaoTalk, leading the Special Prosecutor to confirm allegations of President Han’s interference in the presidential election and to raid on Cheonjeonggung on July 18, 2025.

3. Financial Support for Foreign Politicians
According to media reports, when the Special Prosecutor asked, “What kind of relationship did you have with politicians in Nepal and Senegal?” President Han stated, “They recognize me as the ‘Mother of Peace.’” She further testified, “I prayed that Heaven would bless poor Africa, and I decided to do everything I could (for former Senegalese President Macky Sall) and provided support.”
Furthermore, when the Special Prosecutor asked, “Have you ever heard from former Director Yoon that ‘providing campaign funds to Senegal is illegal’?” President Han replied, “I do not wish to recall that. I refuse to testify.”
Subsequently, when asked, “How were the amounts of campaign funds provided to political leaders in Nepal and Senegal determined?” she denied the allegations, stating, “I have never provided campaign funds.”
Regarding the funds that had been sent to Nepal and Senegal as missionary activity expenses but were used for election purposes, the Special Prosecutor does not recognize them as missionary activity expenses, but rather as embezzlement, as they indicted as such.
Therefore, the court may interpret President Han’s statement—that she “provided support out of a determination to do everything in my power, hoping that Heaven would bless Africa”—as an admission of providing election funding, and may find her liable for embezzlement.
4. Allegations of attempting to appease Yoon Young-ho
Regarding the meeting between Director Kim Eun-sang and Yoon Young-ho, who was detained at the Seoul Detention Center around September 2025, the lawyer for Yoon asked the following question:
“Around September 2025, did you ask former Director Yoon to write a statement to the effect that ‘President Han did not give any (criminal) instructions’ and ‘President Han did not give instructions, but merely provided retroactive approval’?”
Furthermore, the lawyer (representing Yoon Young-ho) stated, “I have read that document myself,” and repeatedly asked President Han, “Are you completely unaware of this matter?”
However, President Han replied, “I refuse to answer,” and subsequently requested a recess, citing poor health.
The questions posed by Yoon Young-ho’s attorney suggested that President Han Hak-ja had attempted to appease Yoon Young-ho, which was extremely detrimental to President Han.
◆ Examination of Documentary Evidence
Despite President Han’s refusal to testify, the Special Prosecutor’s Office submitted a large volume of physical evidence to prove that the acts subject to the indictment were carried out systematically under President Han’s instructions and approval.
In particular, through the notebooks (work logs) of Yoon Young-ho and Jeong Won-ju, as well as the testimonies of related parties such as Cho Seong-tae and Kim Jong-kwan, they proved that the final authority over the World Headquarters’ budget and funds belonged to President Han Hak-ja and Chief of Staff Jeong Won-ju, thereby clarifying where responsibility for the embezzlement lay.

Opening Statement by President Han Hak-ja
Han Hak-ja:
May I say a few words? (Please go ahead.)
I have never given 100 million won to Kwon Seong-dong. I have never given gifts to First Lady Kim Keon-hee. And I have never provided political funds to politicians.
Nevertheless, I find myself standing here today because a man named Yoon Young-ho, whom I trusted and held in high regard, fabricated numerous falsehoods representing the World Headquarters and the Family Federation.
(Slowly)
It is truly regrettable.
Throughout my life, I have known the dream of Heavenly Parents, the Creator, and have lived to realize that dream on earth.
I have traveled the world, telling many leaders and religious figures that if we are to hope for a world of true peace today, we must welcome Heaven, the Creator.
The Creator is our True Parents. The Creator created all things in heaven and on earth with a dream, creating all things in His own image, and created the man and woman who would become the first parents of humanity, waiting until the first human beings grew and reached the position of perfection on their own.
However, this did not happen, and today’s fallen humanity came into being.
The Creator is the One in whom the beginning and the end are one. Since His will and the Principle of Creation are such, He must inevitably witness their completion.
Therefore, two thousand years ago, Heaven sent Jesus Christ through the chosen people of Israel. However, the Israeli people drove Jesus to the cross. As a result, what fate did the Israeli people face?
Jesus was deemed to have failed because He was crucified.
Christianity began with believers waiting for Jesus, who had promised to return. However, in reality, Christianity did not understand the true nature of Jesus.
Jesus was the One who was to become the True Father of humanity. Without fulfilling the role of the True Father, the completion of the providence cannot be realized. That is precisely why Jesus promised His Second Coming.
However, Heaven could not abandon this fallen humanity. Accordingly, religions capable of revering Heaven and leading the world toward peace were permitted in each region.
However, the completion of the providence must be accomplished centered on Jesus. That is why Heaven declared that the returning Jesus would hold the marriage feast of the Lamb. This means he would get married. And He intended to become the True Parents.
Only by meeting the True Parents can fallen humanity be reborn and resurrected through them, and through the Blessing, become new Blessed Families which have no relationship with the Fall.
A peaceful world serving Heavenly Parents, the Creator—the day humanity has longed for over six thousand years—will be realized through the True Parents.
To that end, I have devoted my entire life to meeting with leaders across religions and nations to explain the Creator. I have explained the essence of Jesus.
Currently, there are four major religions, but the teachings of all religions are about living a good life. The only way for the 7 billion people of humanity to live without war or conflict is to know Heaven, the Creator, and welcome Him. Only by welcoming True Parents will world peace, unification, the one human family, and the Kingdom of Heaven on earth and in heaven through True Blessed Families be established.
I have devoted myself entirely to this work. And over the course of 13 years, I have built a palace where Heavenly Parents, the Creator, can reside.
Even Solomon’s Temple and the Temple in Jerusalem were built through blood, sweat, and sincere devotion.
I have devoted my utmost efforts to realizing the dream of Heavenly Parents—the Creator who desires to carry out the providence on earth.
Regarding the various questions directed at me, since I have already made my intentions clear, I refuse to answer any of them.
