South Korea's Lee calls for probe into links between religious group and politics

President Lee called for a non-partisan probe into illegal ties between politicians and the Unification Church, with allegations covering both ruling and opposition parties.

  • On December 10, President Lee Jae Myung ordered a thorough investigation into suspected illegal links between a religious group and politicians and told Cabinet ministers to consider disbanding groups meddling in politics.
  • The Unification Church's alleged outreach prompted wider scrutiny as initial focus on alleged bribes to former President Yoon Suk Yeol and Kim Keon Hee expanded to include the Democratic Party of Korea.
  • Yun Young-ho testified that Oceans and Fisheries Minister Chun Jae-soo was given 40 million won and two luxury watches between 2018 and 2020, while Chun denied receiving money or gifts and vowed legal action.
