In South Korea, the Unification Church has been criticized for supporting the interests of Japan over those of South Korea. South Korean media reported links between the UC and Japanese conservatives, referring to them as ''[[Chinilpa|Chinil]]'' ({{Korean|hangul=친일|labels=no}}) or [[Tochak Waegu#Sin-chinilpa|''Sin-chinil'']] ({{Korean|hangul=신친일|labels=no}}). Some South Korean media reported a connection between [[Yoon Suk-yeol]]'s pro-Japanese foreign policy and the UC.<ref name="유착">{{cite web | url=https://www.nocutnews.co.kr/news/4842460 |title='新친일' 통일교와 日자민당 정권 40년 유착.."자민당 의원 180명과 관계" |trans-title='New Chinil[pa]' Unification Church and the Japanese LDP have been in collusion for 40 years.

Since late July 2024, protests at Cheonjeonggung Palace in [[Gapyeong County|Gapyeong]] began with demands for Vice President Jung Won-joo's resignation, following corruption allegations involving aides close to Hak Ja Han. By late September, the Unification Church Members' Emergency Response Committee joined the demonstrations, which spread by October to major church sites like Cheongshim Peace World Center in Gapyeong and Cheonwon Temple in Seoul, continuing calls for Jung's resignation.<ref>{{cite news |date=October 7, 2024 |script-title=ko:'통일교' 부패간부 퇴진하라! 집회 이어져... 헌금유용 도박·횡령·기관로비 의혹까지 |trans-title="Calls for the Resignation of Corrupt 'Unification Church' Officials Continue as Allegations of Embezzlement, Gambling, and Lobbying Surface" |url=http://www.churchheresy.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=1481 |access-date=October 8, 2024 |newspaper=Church and Heresy |language=ko}}</ref>
