Hak Ja Han (Korean: 한학자, Hanja: 韓鶴子) or Hakja Han Moon (born January 6, 1943 lunar calendar〔) is a Korean religious leader. She and her late husband Sun Myung Moon were the leaders of the Unification Church and are considered by church members to be the True Parents of humankind. They married in April 1960 and have 13 children and over 40 grandchildren, as well as a growing number of great-grandchildren.〔 She is called the True Mother and regarded as the perfect woman by church members.〔〔 In 1992, she established the Unification Church affiliated-organization Women's Federation for World Peace, and traveled the world speaking on its behalf.〔〔〔 Han's influence within the Unification Church has steadily increased. She is Moon's designated successor as the leader of the Unification Movement.〔〔 In the American media Han is sometimes referred to as Mrs. Moon; although in Korean culture as well as other East Asian cultures a married woman keeps her original family name, with the children taking their father's. ==Personal life and family== Han, whose mother later became a follower of Sun Myung Moon, was born on January 6, 1943 (lunar calendar). Han attended an all-girls high school in Korea but did not go on to college. She speaks Japanese and English as well as Korean, although she speaks English with a Korean accent.〔 In April 1960, at the age of 17, Han, by then a member of the Unification Church (which was officially founded in 1954),〔 married Moon who was then 40 years old. Han has 13 children,〔 and as of 1993 had 20 grandchildren. On July 19, 2008, Han along with her husband and 14 others, including several of their children and grandchildren, were slightly injured when a church owned Sikorsky S-92 helicopter crashed during an emergency landing and burst into flames in Gapyeong.〔(iht.com/articles, Unification Church founder Sun Myung Moon released from hospital after helicopter crash )〕〔(Account of crash by the Moons' youngest son )〕 Han and all 15 others were treated at the nearby church-affiliated Cheongshim Hospital.〔(Unification Church founder Sun Myung Moon, 15 others injured in helicopter crash ) Herald Tribune, July 19, 2008〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hak Ja Han」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
