The $750 Prison Extension: Why South Korea is Judging an 80-Year-Old Spiritual Icon – The Full Timeline and Hidden Truth of the Huh Kyung-young Saga

 The $750 Prison Extension: Why South Korea is Judging an 80-Year-Old Spiritual Icon – The Full Timeline and Hidden Truth of the Huh Kyung-young Saga

In the quiet hills of Yangju, South Korea, stands a place called "Haneulgung" (Heaven’s Palace). For years, it was a sanctuary for thousands seeking spiritual healing. Today, the man behind it—80-year-old Huh Kyung-young—sits in a cold prison cell. But is this a case of justice, or a nation overstepping its bounds into the realm of spiritual choice and human rights?



Who is Huh Kyung-young?

For those unfamiliar, Huh is a legendary and eccentric figure who has run for the presidency multiple times. He isn't just a politician; he is a spiritual leader who provides "energy treatments" and "lectures" to followers who believe he possesses supernatural powers.


The Core Conflict: A Service Sold, a Choice Made

The controversy boils down to a simple transaction: Huh provided spiritual services, and people paid for them.


His followers traveled hours to Haneulgung of their own free will. They requested "energy treatments" , which they saw as a spiritual blessing.


Now, some of these same people have turned around and sued him for fraud and molestation. But the question remains: If someone voluntarily walks into a spiritual center, pays for a lecture, and agrees to a ritual, is the provider a criminal, or is the consumer simply regretting their own judgment?


The "Cruel" $750 Extension

The most shocking part of his current detention happened in December 2025. Huh’s initial 6-month detention was set to expire on December 10th. However, just one day before his release, the court issued a new arrest warrant based on a separate fraud case involving a mere 1 million KRW (approx. $750) from 2021.


Despite the fact that this small amount had already been refunded, the court extended his imprisonment to "prevent the destruction of evidence". To his supporters, keeping an 80-year-old man jailed over a settled $750 dispute is an unprecedented act of judicial cruelty.


The Timeline of the Huh Kyung-young Saga

2008: Served 1.5 years in prison for election-related "falsehoods" regarding a marriage rumor with a former president.


2019 – 2023: Expansion of Haneulgung. Thousands visit for lectures and "Bullo-yu".


April 2024: The Supreme Court bans him from running for office until 2034 for claiming he was an "adopted son of a tycoon" during the 2022 election.


May 2025: Formally arrested and detained on charges of fraud, sexual molestation, and political fund violations.


September 2025: During his first trial, Huh denies all charges, calling them "100% fabricated" by the police.


December 9, 2025: Detention is extended for another 6 months due to the $750 fraud case.


February 12, 2026: The court denies his request for bail and rejects a jury trial, keeping him behind bars as the trial continues.


Conclusion: The Forbidden Fruit and the Right to Judge

The Bible tells us that God commanded Adam and Eve not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. This "Forbidden Fruit" represented the human arrogance of wanting to be like God—defining what is right and wrong and judging others.


When we look at this 80-year-old man, we see a nation that has eaten the Forbidden Fruit. We are using the hammer of the law to crush a man for a spiritual bond that was entered into voluntarily by his followers. If they chose to believe, and they chose to pay, who are we to step in and judge the "value" of that spiritual service?


In our quest to "purify" society, we may be committing a greater sin: the sin of pride, thinking we have the ultimate right to judge a man in the twilight of his life over the free choices of others. Perhaps it is time to stop judging and start reflecting on our own human rights and spiritual freedoms.
