Following the demise of MunS o n-myo ng in 2012, theS outh Korean Unification Movement has entered an era of female leadership.Munswidowed wife,Han Hak-cha, rose to become the groupss ole new leader. Drawing on ad istinct (co-)messianic narrative,while resuming on the given millenarian trajectory -both chiefly shaped by Mun -Han successfully coped with the theological and organisational challenges of the post-Mun age,establishing herself as the prime religious and administrative authority.W ith the completionofamost crucial providentialevent in 2013(Foundation Day), Han is believed to have ultimately assumed avirtually divine-like theological status,rendering her teachings and actions infallible (qua providential desideratum) accordingt oU nificationist mainline thinking.Inthe wake of FoundationDay,Han continuestoinscribe into Unificationism the mechanics of gender equality and the significance of the female portion of messianity even moreresonantly,further elevating her soteriological position and thus the contribution of women to kingdom-building in general. This paper discusses in afirst step the UMstraditionoffemale leadership in the past, also introducing the theologicalfoundation of gender relationship.Thereafter,the providential dynamics, especially concerning the so-called Age of Women (proclaimed by Mun in 1992) will be outlined. Thethird major part of the paper deals with post-FoundationDay theology and historical developments,c entring on Hansc oncomitant evolution into Gods Only-Begotten Daughter.
