About
The Unification Church is a South Korean religious organization with ties to politics and power. Kim Keon Hee, former First Lady of South Korea, has been sentenced to prison for accepting bribes from the church. The church's influence extends beyond South Korea, as evidenced by the assassination of Japan's former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was killed by a member of the Unification Church in 2022. Recent developments highlight the organization's corrupt practices and its ability to exert significant influence over politicians, making it a newsworthy topic in both South Korea and Japan.
