Controversy Begins: President Han Hak-ja's Travel Ban?
As soon as this news broke, a post appeared in a specific online community. In response, Yoon Young-ho and Kim Yong-seung, representing the Unification Church, posted a rebuttal on the blog 'Peace Observatory 2027'. On May 17, Kim Yong-seung argued in a post titled '(Fact Check) Elder's Travel Ban? Choi Jong-geun's Speculation?~' that President Han Hak-ja's travel ban was false, and criticized Choi Jong-geun for acting like a 'legal dodger' trying to evade the law by using the word 'speculation'. He even went as far as to label such actions that divide the Unification Church as 'thuggish'.
💡 Keep in Mind!
Inside the Unification Church, there appears to be a movement to conceal the fact of President Han Hak-ja's travel ban. There are also rumors circulating that Vice President Jeong Won-ju was the one banned from traveling and thus could not go to the US.
It seems there are attempts within the Unification Church to hide the truth about President Han Hak-ja's travel ban. Some rumors even suggest that Vice President Jeong Won-ju was the one under the travel ban, preventing the trip to the U.S.
The Truth Behind the Summoning of Jeong Hee-taek, CEO of Segye Ilbo 📊
While there may be no need to respond to each of Kim Yong-seung's claims, this post is written to correct the distorted facts being spread among the Unification Church members. It's believed that only when the general members know the accurate facts can they prevent the corrupt powers within the Unification Church from treating them recklessly.
According to confirmed sources, President Han Hak-ja, immediately after her travel ban was thwarted, summoned Jeong Hee-taek, CEO of Segye Ilbo, and instructed him to lift the travel ban and make arrangements for her to travel to the US. Jeong Hee-taek reportedly expressed to Segye Ilbo executives that it was beyond his power to resolve this issue, and this information spread throughout the Unification Church's power structure. Based on this tip, the [Unification Church Corruption Eradication Watch Committee] disclosed these facts.
Behind the Scenes
| Category | Claimed Content | Tip-off and Confirmed Details |
|---|---|---|
| Han Hak-ja's Travel Ban | False, Choi Jong-geun's speculation | Actual prevention of departure, instruction to Jeong Hee-taek to resolve |
| Reason for US Trip Cancellation | Jeong Won-ju's travel ban | Han Hak-ja's own travel ban |
It's said that President Han Hak-ja continues to state at Cheongpyeong that she will go to the US. However, despite Yoon Young-ho's testimony implicating President Han Hak-ja as the principal offender in bribery, it's pointed out that Chief of Staff Lee Cheong-woo and Vice President Jeong Won-ju are turning a blind eye, showing no intention to resolve the issue.
Bribery Allegations and the Responsibility of the Power Structure 👩💼👨💻
The bribery allegations behind this travel ban controversy are a serious issue. The fact that Yoon Young-ho's testimony has implicated President Han Hak-ja as the principal offender of bribery could significantly damage the transparency and credibility of the Unification Church.
Despite this situation, the fact that Chief of Staff Lee Cheong-woo and Vice President Jeong Won-ju are reportedly ignoring this issue is frustrating. How exactly does the Unification Church's power structure intend to resolve this problem? Frankly, I am angered by this irresponsible attitude. Problems can never be solved by merely trying to cover them up. To regain the members' trust, they must transparently disclose everything and take responsibility where it's due.
To conceal this fact, the Unification Church's power structure is allegedly trying to hide President Han Hak-ja's travel ban by claiming that Vice President Jeong Won-ju was banned from traveling and thus could not go to the US.
The Importance of Transparent Information Disclosure 📚
This incident is a regrettable example of how information can be distorted and concealed. If the Unification Church's power structure had transparently disclosed the facts from the beginning and actively sought to resolve the issue, the members' confusion and distrust would have been greatly reduced.
Problems Arising from Information Concealment
| Issue | Description |
|---|---|
| Decline in Credibility | Attempts to hide the truth lead to a loss of trust from the public and members. |
| Spread of Unnecessary Rumors | In the absence of official information, rumors and speculation run rampant, increasing confusion. |
| Delay in Problem Resolution | The more attempts to conceal the core issues rather than facing them, the harder it becomes to find fundamental solutions. |
The recent events highlight the critical need for transparency and accountability within the Unification Church. The alleged cover-up of President Han Hak-ja's travel ban and the surrounding controversies have led to significant distrust and confusion among the members.
Desirable Problem-Solving Process
- 1) Immediately upon the occurrence of a problem, clearly ascertain and disclose the facts.
- 2) Those responsible should directly step forward to explain the situation and apologize.
- 3) Establish measures to prevent recurrence and demonstrate a commitment to implementation.
Through this example, we are once again made acutely aware of how crucial transparent information disclosure and a responsible attitude are for any organization.
