Unification Church leader Han Hak-ja, who is accused of colluding with the former Yoon Suk Yeol administration to win administrative favors, will stand trial next month.

The Seoul Central District Court said on Friday that proceedings to determine whether Han violated the Political Funds Act and the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act will begin on December 1.

During the first hearing, the court plans to question the church's former second-in-command, Yun Young-ho, who is accused of the same charges.

Yun's lawyers, however, said their client does not intend to testify.

The court will also review Han's bail request filed on November 13.

Han is accused of colluding with Yun 2022 to give main opposition People Power Party(PPP) Rep. Kweon Seong-dong 100 million won, or around 68-thousand U.S. dollars, in exchange for his help ensuring the church's participation in state projects under the Yoon government.

Han has also been linked to the delivery of a high-end necklace and Chanel bag to former first lady Kim Keon-hee through a shaman with whom she was close in exchange for favors to the church.
