My Take
Han is a figure I approach with caution rather than easy judgment. Leading a global religious movement, especially one as contested as the Unification Church, invites strong opinions, and I will not pretend the controversies do not exist: in 2025 she was arrested on bribery-related charges, and in August 2026 she was sentenced to two years in prison. What I can assess is the sheer force of will. Born in wartime Korea, she built and steered an international organization, founded the Women's Federation for World Peace, and traveled the world advocating for it. Whatever one thinks of the theology, that level of sustained influence over decades is not accidental. I find the trajectory itself remarkable, and worth understanding rather than dismissing.
