Jan. 18, 2019: Washington Times Corp. Founding Chairman Bo-hi Pak Dies (The Washington Times)

Bo-hi Pak, the founding chairman of The Washington Times Corp., who brought the flagship newspaper into existence in 1982 and who spent much of his life engaged in global diplomacy and peacemaking activities with Times' founders Rev. Sun Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han Moon, died in Korea Jan. 12. He was 89. Lt. Col. Pak was the English translator for the Rev. Moon. He was at the evangelist's side at his large public speeches in the United States as well as many of the countless meetings Rev. Moon held with Unification Church members, leaders and guests.

Note: His kidnapping was not mentioned. Personally, if I survived a kidnapping by some Moonies, I'd want it mentioned in my obituary.

May 4, 2020: Dear Beloved True Mother, The Only Begotten Daughter (Family Fed - A Letter to Hak-ja Han)

Also, about two years ago, you greeted the members of The Washington Times Fact-Finding Tour to Japan at Tokyo Hotel. As soon as you received a flower from the former director of the CIA and his wife, True Mother asked them, "Do you know who I am?" and you told them, "I am the Only Begotten Daughter."

Aug. 10. 2022: Unification Church Pushes Back Against 'Abusive' Media Reports in Wake of Shinzo Abe Assassination (The Washington Times/Internet Archive)

"We strongly condemn the fake news and abusive language disseminated by a heartless media, which as hate speech, encourages religious discrimination, undermines the rights of individuals and, if anything, violates people's freedom of religion," he said.

Note: Actually, the above is quite a good article. I included the above quote as it reminded me of a related article.

The following mention of an event at The Washington Times building caught my eye, and I thought it suitable for this thread. Also, the title of Dr. for Mrs. Moon is interesting because it's false. She has some honorary degrees - one of course from the university Moon founded, but the title of Dr. is reserved for those with earned Ph.Ds. One very small cog in the cult-of-personality machine:

Oct. 20: Muslim Women Raise Global Alarm Over Detention of Faith Leader Dr. Moon (The National Law Review/American Muslim & Multifaith Women's Empowerment Council)

At an interfaith prayer and solidarity gathering held at the Washington Times building in Washington, D.C., Anila Ali, President of AMMWEC, and Zeba Zebunnesa, AMMWEC Executive Board Member and Peace Ambassador joined Dr. Michael Jenkins, President, Universal Peace Federation (UPF) North America, along with other faith leaders from Sikh, Christian and Jewish communities to pray for Dr. Moon's release and call attention to her case.

A Washington Times mention caught my eye from this UC Facebook page, called The Monarch Report:

Dec. 20: In December 2025, Pastor Mark Burns—a prominent U.S. evangelical leader and spiritual advisor to President Trump—completed his third fact-finding mission to South Korea with Michael Jenkins, President of The Washington Times Foundation and Universal Peace Federation (UPF).

The delegation met with detained religious figures, including Dr. Hak Ja Han of the Unification Church and Pastor Son Hyun-bo of Segero Church, both held following raids targeting multiple religious organizations.
