Betrayal of Fallen Angels in Unification Church

The Chain of Betrayal Born from Absolute Power Corruption
The history of the Unification Church has been marked by "betrayal by the closest associates," just as founder Reverend Sun Myung Moon warned. Following the trajectory of this betrayal, we can see a consistent pattern from the lineage of fallen angels beginning with Luciel to today's Yoon Young-ho incident. This is not merely individual deviation, but a tragic case in religious history showing how absolute power inevitably leads to absolute corruption.

1. Lineage of Fallen Angels: The DNA of Betrayal

The lineage of fallen angels within the Unification Church has clear connections. This lineage, beginning with Luciel's betrayal, passed through Kim Hyo-yul, Hwang Seon-jo, and Yang Chang-sik to Kim Hyo-nam, then from Jeong Won-ju to Yoon Young-ho, and finally to Lee Cheong-woo.

Although these individuals lived in different historical contexts, they showed remarkably similar behavioral patterns. Kim Hyo-yul gained absolute trust by the founder's side and controlled private family information. Hwang Seon-jo and Yang Chang-sik manipulated church administration and finances. Kim Hyo-nam embezzled hundreds of billions of won at Cheongpyeong under the guise of spiritual authority, and Jeong Won-ju privatized the entire church as Han Hak-ja's closest associate.

What they all had in common was pursuing their private interests under the pretext of "True Parents' will." And when crises struck, they invariably chose betrayal and blame-shifting.

2. Characteristics of Fallen Angels: Consistent DNA of Corruption

These fallen angels share four common characteristics.

First, False Reporting and Information Manipulation

They all used their access to top leadership to provide distorted information while thoroughly blocking information unfavorable to themselves. In Yoon Young-ho's case, he gained trust by presenting false credentials as "Taesa" to Han Hak-ja and monopolized all church information based on this.

Second, Systematic Corruption

They all embezzled hundreds of billions of won. Corruption using construction projects was commonly found. In major construction projects like Cheon Jeong Gung, Cheon Won Gung, and Begonia New Garden, construction costs were doubled, and the difference flowed into their pockets.

Third, Destruction of True Family

They all took the lead in destroying the founder's bloodline and family order. Through expelling Hyun Jin Moon, creating discord among siblings, and fabricating the Only Begotten Daughter theory, they damaged the essence of True Family.

Fourth, Betrayal in Crisis

When their corruption was about to be exposed, they invariably betrayed those who raised them and shifted responsibility.

3. Yoon Young-ho Incident: The Complete Version of Fallen Angels

Yoon Young-ho is the individual who most perfectly inherited the DNA of these fallen angels. Together with Jeong Won-ju, he committed the largest embezzlement in Unification Church history, using methods more cunning and bold than any previous cases.

Yoon Young-ho actively utilized the Only Begotten Daughter theory to win Han Hak-ja's favor. He deified Han Hak-ja as "Holy Mother Han" and positioned himself as "someone like Han Hak-ja's son," building absolute trust. In this process, he became Han Hak-ja's eyes and ears, monopolizing all information, and placed his wife Lee Shin-hye as Finance Director, controlling church finances as a family unit.

Most shocking is that to cover up his and Han Hak-ja's corruption, particularly the 60 billion won overseas gambling expedition in Las Vegas, he offered bribes to First Lady Kim Gun-hee in the form of a 60 million won diamond necklace and 10 million won Chanel bags. This is an unprecedented case of a religious organization colluding with secular power to commit corruption.

4. International Embezzlement Attempts: Criminal Organization Disguised as Religion

Yoon Young-ho's ambitions did not stop at domestic corruption. He colluded with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen to attempt to divert South Korea's ODA (Official Development Assistance) budget under the pretext of Mekong River development projects. The doubling of aid to Cambodia from $700 million to $1.5 billion under the Yoon Suk-yeol government appears to be the result of such lobbying.

This is the behavior of an international criminal organization, not a religious organization. Attempting to divert Korean taxpayer money overseas for personal gain is a betrayal of taxpayers and the nation.

5. Collapse of Yoon Suk-yeol Government and Beginning of Betrayal

However, when the Yoon Suk-yeol government began to collapse, Yoon Young-ho's true nature was revealed. In prosecutor investigations, he stated that "all decisions were made with approval from Han Hak-ja", shifting all responsibility to Han Hak-ja who had raised him. This is cowardly betrayal shown by someone who had absolute trust for nine years and manipulated the church in times of crisis.

6. Jeong Won-ju's Escape and Lee Cheong-woo's Opportunism

Jeong Won-ju, who had privatized the church together with Yoon Young-ho, fled to the United States as the investigation net tightened. His refusal to respond to Korean prosecutors' summons while desperately buying time is tantamount to admitting his own crimes.

Even more ridiculous is the behavior of Lee Cheong-woo, whom Yoon Young-ho had planted. He is now trying to monopolize the Unification Church without Yoon Young-ho and Jeong Won-ju by shifting all responsibility to Yoon Young-ho. This is the typical behavior of a disciple betraying his master.

7. Han Hak-ja's Lack of Reality Recognition

Despite all these incidents, Han Hak-ja fails to properly grasp the seriousness of the situation. She mobilizes the Washington Times and Segye Ilbo to cover up the gambling incident and pays enormous costs to four law firms, desperately trying to conceal the truth. This is an ostrich-like response trying to avoid the essence of the problem, which only worsens the situation.

8. Special Prosecutor Investigation and Truth Exposure

The Kim Gun-hee Special Prosecutor is investigating Yoon Young-ho's bribery case and Han Hak-ja's 60 billion won overseas gambling expedition with strong investigative power. The travel ban and indictment of Han Hak-ja as a suspect means the investigation has already begun in earnest. The truth can no longer be hidden.

9. Heaven's Judgment: History Repeats

Heaven is judging the Unification Church through the collapse of the Yoon Suk-yeol government. Just as the Japanese Unification Church faced dissolution crisis with Prime Minister Abe's sudden death, the corruption of the Korean Unification Church is being exposed through the unprecedented corrupt politicians Yoon Suk-yeol and Kim Gun-hee.

This is not coincidental. Heaven never leaves ignorant and greedy religious leaders alone. Heaven has always judged with divine punishment those central figures who failed in their portion of responsibility. Noah's flood, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the collapse of the Tower of Babel are all in the same context.
