• Introduction to the author •
Pak Chung-hwa was born in South Pyeongan Province, North Korea in 1913. He graduated from a professional school in Manchuria and Xinjing (Changchun). Before the Korean War, during the era of the People’s Army of North Korea, he was imprisoned due to having responsibility for a subordinate’s crime (insufficient supervision). While in prison, he became connected with Sun Myung Moon, became his disciple and pledged his life to the path of restoration.
In 1950, during the Korean War, he was released and he fled south to [Kyeongju, Busan, etc.].
Before and after the 1954 establishment of the Unification Church, in Seoul, he served as Sun Myung Moon’s right-hand man. Because he knew deeply about matters involving women and finances, he was later treacherously betrayed by Sun Myung Moon.
One of the six people who founded the Unification Church.
He lived in Incheon City, Korea.
[He died on March 26, 1997 at the Dongguk University Hospital (School of Medicine), Kyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province.]
cover band from the Japanese edition of the book:
The Unification Church was a sex cult!
The evil deeds of Sun Myung Moon, who stole married women and stripped them of their property, and made virgins bear children.
Written by the author, who was one of his very closest aides, and a founding member of the Unification Church, as a final testament-like memoir. He declared, “Before I die, I will reveal everything.”
〈Three testimonies in the last chapter of the book include the confessions of one of the Six Marys, and those of a practitioner of the sex relay rituals.〉
The words of Moon Sun-myung (extracts from this book)
“It is the restoration with women that Jesus, who was born into this world, was unable to accomplish. First, what was taken away through sex with the archangel Lucifer must be recovered by the same method, by taking six married women who have husbands, that is, the six Marys.”
“After restoring the six Marys, the Messiah at the Second Coming next selects a virgin with no sexual experience, designates her as a new Eve, and performs the ‘Marriage Supper of the Lamb.’”
“This world is ruled by Satan, but all property in this world originally belonged to God, so even if it is something Satan is using (a husband’s money or property in the home), everything must be stolen if necessary and offered to me. Even if it violates the laws of the world, God will forgive it.”

About this book
This book lays bare, in graphic detail, the actual firsthand experiences and true stories behind the most vicious pseudo-religion to have arisen in Korea, the Unification Church (the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity). Under the pretext of the so-called “restoration” (復歸) preached by its leader Sun Myung Moon, it exposes acts of adultery, sexual relations, and the practice of “blood-line exchange” (血代交換), pikareum sex rituals, including virgins being made pregnant and sexual relations with married women.
It reveals the realities of lives ruined and families destroyed after falling into the Unification Church cult, which claims salvation (restoration) through these tragic pikareum sex rituals. It tells of the unfortunate women who were deceived, impregnated under the guise of the “Marriage Supper of the Lamb,” and then abandoned without Moon taking any responsibility.
It recounts the uproar caused when Moon [still married to his first wife] married a married woman [who had three children] under the so-called “Marriage Supper of the Lamb.” He was given a five-year prison sentence, and Moon’s status as a forced labor prisoner in Heungnam Prison, inmate number 596, is described.
It exposes the sex-relay pikareum rituals and the Unification Church’s method of “restoration” through sex as a means of salvation from original sin, the arrest of the church leader, investigations into adulterous relations, and false testimonies.
It records the miserable fates of single and married women who had their bodies, minds and property completely taken from them by the church leader.
It includes my own shameful experiences, including sexual acts and the practice of pikareum sex blood-line restoration.
It exposes the exploitation of labor by the church leader who was blinded by greed, and the operation of the Moon clan’s relatives in-charge system. The church leader will do anything to make money.
It reveals the pseudo-religious and heretical doctrines created by stealing Kim Baek-mun’s principles and turning them into the church leader’s own teachings.
This is a raw, first-hand account written by an author who lived together with the church leader for thirteen years, both before and after the 1954 founding of the Unification Church.
This book plainly reveals, through direct experience, the reality of a pseudo-religion (the Unification Church) not only for Christians, but also for followers of other religions and for ordinary citizens.
Remarks from Constant Friend Publishing • Editorial Department
Mr Pak Chung-hwa’s manuscript was enormous, consisting of around 6,000 pages, each with about 200 characters. He wrote down his conversations with Mr Sun Myung Moon, and even the details of their meals. It is a valuable record for understanding the early period of the Unification Church. However, the document has been drastically cut down for general readers.
All names in the document are real, except for the names of female believers who had special close relationships with Mr Sun Myung Moon. They have been given pseudonyms (* at the beginning of each chapter) in consideration of their families and relatives. [One or two men were given pseudonyms.] In principle people’s titles have been abbreviated.

Recommendation
— There is no statute of limitations for truth and reality —
It was in the early part of 1980.
During the time of the military dictatorship, the Unification Church (note: referred to as “Tongil-gyo” in Korea), put forward “anti-communism” as its doctrine and had clung to and parasitized political power. I experienced being forced to “issue an apology statement to the Unification Church” following their threats. It was a time when I had become dejected and felt ignored by the Christian community in Korea.
At that time, a copy of the handwritten draft of the Principle from the founding period of Sun Myung Moon, the leader of the Unification Church, was sent to me, and I published it in the monthly magazine Modern Religion. After that, I contacted the person involved by letter and we met. That person was Mr. Pak Chung-hwa. As he spoke about his experiences during the founding period of the Unification Church, when he was together with Sun Myung Moon, he said, “Before I die, I want to make everything clear.”
[Pak Chung-hwa started following Sun Myung Moon after they met in Heungnam labor camp in 1949. However, in 1962] Pak had become disillusioned when he was betrayed by Moon, and he left the Unification Church. In 1980, possibly because the church saw some value [in Pak recounting stories from the early days] they pressured him to get involved again [and, in 1981] he was unable to withstand their coercion. Still, he promised that someday he would reveal the truth, and we parted.
After more than another ten years passed, and memories of him were about to fade from my mind, in the early summer of 1993 he came to visit me together with a friend. He brought with him a thick bundle of manuscripts.
“I am already eighty-one years old and do not know when I will die, so I have long been thinking that before I die I must leave the facts behind. I wrote this with the feeling that it would be the last will I leave in this world.” With grim resolve, Mr. Pak said this to me.
As I took time to read the manuscript he had written, I could not suppress the anger and hatred toward the church leader Moon that welled up from the depths of my heart.
That was because it laid bare, just as they were, the realities of the promiscuous sexual acts that I had until then only heard about in stories. Moreover, these were vivid accounts of firsthand experiences that Mr. Pak had directly seen and gone through while staying at Moon’s side like a shadow [as his right hand man]. Mr. Pak even confessed that, at the urging of church leader Moon, he himself had actually engaged in the so-called “restoration” pikareum sex, right in front of Moon, in the same room. To expose the reality of Moon’s “Principle of Restoration” while confessing even his own shameful participation required tremendous courage.
If this book is published, it will deal a major blow to the moral character of church leader Moon, and to the religious foundations of the Unification Church. Even if the statute of limitations for legal punishment has already expired, the statute of limitations of conscience never expires. This is because there is no statute of limitations for truth and reality.
In the end, the “Principle” of the Unification Church was established upon the sexual doctrine of church leader Moon. [These are coded in the Divine Principle and in his speeches and in the UC Three Day Ceremony which demands certain sexual positions for “restoration”.] Therefore, if that sexual doctrine collapses, it is obvious that other church doctrines will also collapse in a chain reaction.
While supervising this manuscript, in Korea certain impure forces within Christianity connected to pseudo-religious groups placed advertisements in the Chosun Ilbo. They made a clamor demanding that I be punished by resurrecting an old “myth of my receiving and giving political funds related to the Unification Church” (concerning the 1987 presidential election), for which the statute of limitations had already expired.
However, I calmly continued to do the work I needed to do. That was because I was not guilty. Those who have committed crimes must bear responsibility even after time has passed, but those who are innocent need not worry no matter how much slander or defamation they may suffer.
If what is written in Mr. Pak’s memoir is true, then the conclusion must be that church leader Moon made numerous women weep, took their property, and built the church’s foundations upon that property. Consequently, the accumulation of wealth by the Unification Church was immoral.
Thus, the immoral sexual acts that existed in the founding period of church leader Sun Myung Moon have now, more than forty years later, come to see the light of day and be judged by a sound society.
If legal responsibility is pursued after this book is published, the only possible course will be for the natural person Sun Myung Moon to file a lawsuit against the natural person Pak Chung-hwa. At that time, all the facts will be made clear in a court of law. If church leader Moon continues to remain silent, it will mean that he has tacitly acknowledged all the facts contained in this book to be true. And we will once again come to grasp the self-evident truth that the crimes one commits will inevitably be judged.
On July 20th of this year [1993], I myself sent a notarized document to Sun Myung Moon stating that, “the apology statement to the Unification Church that I published in a Korean daily newspaper on September 8, 1978 was made under coercion and threats by the Unification Church and is therefore invalid, and it must not be misused any further.”
I would be grateful if readers could understand how many painful trials I myself have endured because of the Unification Church up to this point in time.
In closing, I once again extend my praise to Mr. Pak Chung-hwa for the courage and resolve with which he wrote this work, and I make this recommendation in the hope that as many people as possible will, through this book, come to know the hidden face and true nature of the Unification Church leader, Sun Myung Moon.

Editor’s Note about Tahk Myeong-hwan from page 4:
Mr. Tahk Myeong-hwan is a leading authority in comparative religion studies and has researched new religious movements in Korea, particularly the internal realities of Christian heresies such as the Unification Church. Despite suffering severe injuries from torture by the KCIA, car bombings, and other persecution, he has consistently upheld the truth.
[The UC is also known as the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification or the Universal Peace Federation, etc.].
Introduction
by Pak Chung-hwa
From the Korean edition:
I started to write this book in 1985. I decided the title of the book should be An Unofficial History of the Unification Church. If I express the title in Japanese it would be called Record: History of the Unification Church.
My purpose is to clearly record the facts of the thirteen years during which I acted together with Sun Myung Moon, and to expose to many people the illusion surrounding him.
With additions from pages 279-282 of the Japanese edition:
However, on the other hand I also felt anxiety and concern. At that time the political situation of Korea was that it was under a military government. Some in powerful positions, or with authority, in the army were in communication with the church behind the scenes. There was no way they would permit such a publication.
Mr. Tahk Myeong-hwan who wrote the “recommendation” for this book is an example. Mr. Tahk, who has continued his criticism of the Unification Church, was one day kidnapped by the KCIA and was beaten on his back. This left a big scar that will never go away in his life. Even after this, Mr. Tahk has persevered.
In my case the problem is different. I do not fear repression through power and violence. I am now 81 years old and I am not well. I am recuperating from a cerebral haemorrhage. With my difficulties I fight as best I can.
Time passed, and a trustworthy Christian elder, President Kim Young-sam, was elected. Through President Kim’s resolute decisions, Korea is now undergoing purification at a dazzling pace, not only in politics but across all sectors of society.
With that background, I came to meet the President Shigeto Saito of Constant Friend Publishing who visited my humble far away home in Incheon, and committed to the publication of this book that I believe in from the bottom of my heart. Having long cherished this hope over many years, I am truly filled with joy that it has now been realized.
The enormous work of organizing, classifying, writing, and editing a manuscript totaling some 6,000 pages continued, yet it progressed far more quickly than expected, for which I offer thanks and glory to God.
At this opportunity I would like to give my sincere thanks to Constant Friend Publishing of Korea and Japan, to Mr. Kim Ki-son from Busan for translations, Mr. Chi-yong from Busan who is studying at university in Japan, and Mr. Kinoshita and other publishing staff at Constant Friend Publishing.
I intend to donate the royalties from this book to help in the relief of those who, having sacrificed their lives to Sun Myung Moon, are suffering through hardship in their old age.
Finally, I wish to offer a deep prayer for the souls of the “victims of Sun Myung Moon and the Unification Church” who passed away while still unable to attain true happiness or to resolve their deep resentment.

Tahk Myeong-hwan July 8, 1937 – February 18, 1994.
A few months after this book was published Dr. Tahk was stabbed to death outside his home in Seoul by one or two members of a fanatic cult which, according to some reports, may have been Dahn Yoga. He was beaten with an iron pipe and stabbed with a long knife. The murder was also connected to 「永生教」 “Yeongsaeng-gyo” Eternal Life Church which was founded by 曺熙星 Cho Hee-seong (1931-2004). Dr. Tahk left behind a widow and three sons.
This was shown during a 10 minute video shown on Japanese national TV about this book and the Unification Church:

❖ Here is some information from Japanese Wikipedia:
Tahk Myeong-hwan was murdered four weeks after Sun Myung Moon spoke about him as an opponent.
1993

On November 4, 1993 Pak Chung-hwa, who was a follower of Sun Myung Moon from the early years, published “The Tragedy of the Six Marys – the real Satan is Sun Myung Moon!!” (by Constant Friend Publishing). The book contains accusations that Sun Myung Moon used his own teachings exploitatively to have sexual relationships with many female followers.
1994
1月21日 文鮮明が統一教会の反対運動をしていた卓明煥（タン・ミョンファン）と文鮮明の指示を無視して政党をつくろうとした人物が同年2月18日という同じ日に死んだ（卓は新興宗教団体の信者に殺害された）ことに言及し、教団に反対する者はみな、霊界に連れて行かれるという旨の発言をする。
46 ab 卓明煥「統一教、その実相」
On January 21, 1994 Sun Myung Moon spoke about Tahk Myeong-hwan who was opposing the Unification Church. On February 18th of the same year Mr. Tahk died. (Mr. Tahk was murdered by members of a new religious group). On the very same day a man who had not listened to the instructions of Sun Myung Moon, and attempted to form a political party, also died. Moon made statements to the effect that all those who oppose the organization are taken to the spirit world.

In Korea many Christian leaders, to this day, suspect that Sun Myung Moon was behind the murder of Tahk Myeong-hwan.
Link to further research about this murder
❖ Dr. Frederick Sontag was Professor of Philosophy at Pomona College, where he worked from 1952 to 2009. He spent ten months studying the Unification Church during which time he traveled to three continents. In September 1976 he visited Korea. In 1977 he met Rev Moon for a long interview. His book: ‘Sun Myung Moon and the Unification Church’ was published later the same year.
page 97
Who’s afraid of Sun Myung Moon?
It is fascinating to see Sun Myung Moon receive intense devotion and love from his followers and at the same time draw derision bordering on hatred from those outside. In Korea, one even senses a fear, like one induced by the Mafia, among the opposition, and in this country the outspoken opponents speak of death threats.
❖ Mr. Eu Hyo-min, a founding member of the UC: “The main reason that people who had left the Unification Church and revealed the inner workings were subsequently imprisoned was because at the time there were connections between the Unification Church and the regime.”

Sun Myung Moon’s birth name was Moon Yong-myung. Yong means dragon, originating from serpent.
▲ Sun Myung Moon wearing what seems to be a dragon tie.
Moon Yong-myung 文龍明 changed his name some time around early 1951 when he crossed into South Korea from Pyongyang.
In March 1953, in South Korea, he formally changed his name to Moon Sun Myung 文鮮明. Pak Chung-hwa, who wrote the book The Tragedy of the Six Marys, actually did the paperwork for Moon’s identity documents.
“According to Pak, the main reason for the name change was because Christians could use the name yong, which means ‘dragon’, as evidence that Moon was the antichrist. A more practical reason for the timing may have been to try to avoid the families of members, who were pestering the police to arrest him.” Michael Breen, Sun Myung Moon, the early years, page 158.
It is interesting to look at the evolution of the hanja for 龍, yong:
▲ Chart from https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E9%BE%8D
龍 Pictogram – originally a serpent with prominent whiskered mouth and eyes.
The current form developed in large seal script, with serpent’s body on right (tail at upper right, legs on right), whiskered/fanged mouth at lower left, and eyes/crown at upper left. Left side was subsequently simplified and abstracted…
The Korean pronunciation is NOT “young”. It is “YONG”.
Note that 竜 existed as a traditional variant dating back to large seal script, and figures a dragon seen face-on, rather than curled around.
竜 is an ancient form of 龍 according to the Kangxi dictionary (Jiyun section).
Meaning 1. dragon
Dragon or serpent in the Bible
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpents_in_the_Bible
The Hebrew word nahash is used to identify the serpent that appears in Genesis 3:1, in the Garden of Eden. In Genesis, the serpent is portrayed as a deceptive creature or trickster, who promotes as good what God had forbidden, and shows particular cunning in its deception.
In the New Testament, the Book of Revelation makes use of ancient serpent and the Dragon several times to identify Satan or the devil. (Rev 12:9; 20:2) The serpent is most often identified with the hubristic Satan, and sometimes with Lilith.
