Personal Life and Family
Han, the daughter of a Korean woman who 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. Han and all 15 others were treated at the nearby church-affiliated Cheongshim Hospital.
