It has been confirmed that half of the 100 million won delivered by Yoon Young-ho, former head of the world division of Unification Church, to Kwon Sung-dong, a lawmaker of the People's Power, was separately packaged, and there was a "King of Wages" sign. Some of the money delivered to Kwon was prepared by former President Yoon.
In summary, Yoon delivered 100 million won in cash in the form of a "gwanbong-kwon" in a paper box to Kwon at a Chinese restaurant in Yeouido, Seoul, on January 5, 2022. At that time, 100 million won was divided into two shopping bags of 50 million won each, each with a different type of norigae tied to a norigae, and the "king" meaning a king was handed in. Yoon's spouse, Lee, the then head of the financial bureau of the Unification Church, took pictures of both boxes at 10 a.m. on the same day. For this reason, inside the Unification Church, some of the funds delivered at the time were prepared by former President Yoon, who was a presidential candidate. Yoon also said in an investigation by the special prosecution team that the reason for the delivery of money and valuables to Kwon was "for the purpose of helping the presidential election." Min Min Min-ki's special prosecutor team, which is investigating the allegation of Kim Gun-hee, is also known to have found out the fact and is investigating the case.
Former President Yoon actually met with Yoon through the arrangement of Rep. Kwon. Rep. Kwon visited Cheonjeong Palace in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi Province on March 22, 2022, and received a shopping bag suspected of containing money and valuables from the president of Unification Bridge, a Chinese scholar, and took Yoon to meet with Yoon, who was elected, in the afternoon of the same day, according to the investigation. Former President Yoon said at the meeting, "Please tell President Han that you are grateful for helping us in the presidential election," and responded to Yoon's request for the Unification Bridge issue, saying, "Let's discuss such matters in the future so that they can be achieved during his tenure." In fact, some of the issues of Unification Bridge, including the expansion of official development aid in Africa, have been realized. This raises the possibility that former President Yoon was aware of the delivery of money and valuables from the Unification Bridge.
The independent counsel team, which has secured the whereabouts of Yoon and Kwon, who exchanged money and valuables directly, is expected to investigate whether Yoon received money and valuables and whether he exerted influence to push ahead with the pending issue of the Unification Church. On the previous day, an official of the independent counsel told reporters, "If necessary, I think (investigation into Yoon) can proceed." However, Kwon's side denies that he received money and valuables.
Meanwhile, the independent counsel team requested arrest warrants for Han and his chief of staff Jeong. The two men were charged with violating the Political Fund Act, violating the Solicitation Prohibition Act, destroying evidence, and embezzlement. Han, who voluntarily appeared on the previous day after refusing to comply with the independent counsel team's request for attendance three times, reportedly denied the allegations, including ordering Kwon to deliver money and valuables. The independent counsel team judged that Han is highly likely to destroy evidence and requested an arrest warrant on the day. In addition, the independent counsel team sent prosecutors and investigators to the central headquarters to confirm that the Unification Church members joined the People's Power Group. The independent counsel team raided and searched the Central Headquarters of the People's Power twice, but failed to secure the party register, which is the key evidence.

It appears that everything was meticulously prepared and delivered to prevent any mishaps.
Naturally, the money must have reached Yoon, and it seems likely that Kwon Sung-dong enjoyed his share as well.
Despite all this, there are still people who continue to support them—which is precisely why they keep behaving this way.
Honestly, those who continue to support them even after witnessing such things must either be dreaming of receiving money alongside them, or perhaps they’re already benefiting from it.
