The Real Satan is Sun Myung Moon

The Use Value of a Living Witness
Remarriage in order to enter the new world
I was betrayed by Sun Myung Moon, and I was barely clinging to life in a simple lodging facility near Seoul Station. The one who saved me in that situation was Mr. Aum Deok-mun. With his help, I went to Busan and came to work in housing construction. (He is a graduate of the Department of Architecture at Waseda University in Japan and is now one of the world’s top 100 architects.)
Even so, I waited, thinking that I might receive some kind of contact from Sun Myung Moon at least once. But two years passed, and three years passed, and there was not a single word from Sun Myung Moon. I knew better than most that Sun Myung Moon was a man of a worldly nature, different from God.
Still, I believed that he could never abandon me, someone who had sworn before Heaven and worked as his alter ego from the beginning. We were two people who had sworn in the prison at Heungnam, “Let us share life and death,” and who had helped each other all the way to this point, risking our lives together.
Because I held that belief in one corner of my heart, I decided that this would be the end of my 14-year connection with Sun Myung Moon, and I resolved to sever ties even with the Unification Church, which had been my life day and night.
Around this time, I married the younger sister of Aum Deok-mun. Her husband had been a prosecutor at the Seoul District Prosecutors’ Office and was an outstanding person, but during the Korean War he was shot dead in front of his house by the northern People’s Army. She had three children.
Having a family again, I was able to set my feet firmly on the ground and step into a third life.
My first life was during the period of North Korea; my second life was the period of the Unification Church at the Heungnam Prison. At that time, I was 45 years old and my wife was 37.
For the next ten years, I devoted myself to the housing construction business in Busan. I completed the construction of the 300 houses and apartment buildings that I had planned from the outset and was able to fulfill my responsibilities without incident.
For the following approximately ten years, at the request of someone who had been part of the Unification Church, I cooperated in land reclamation projects. As a graduate of the Department of Civil Engineering at Shinkyō Industrial High School in China and someone who had served in the military engineering corps, civil engineering was my field of expertise.
I was living my days happily, directing and supervising many workers. And by virtue of my position, I drank heartily every day in fellowship with my subordinates. But that was not good.
189
Collapsing with a serious illness
In 1981, I collapsed from a cerebral hemorrhage and was hospitalized at Incheon Christian Hospital for about two months. My wife’s older brother was Aum Deok-mun. His wife, Go Hui-yong, and her older sister Aum Sun-tae urged me, saying, “You and Teacher Sun Myung Moon have a deep bond forged by Heaven, so you must not leave the Unification Church. You became ill because you left it. Even now, repent and return to the Unification Church.”
I was in a situation where my heart had become somewhat weak due to an illness I had not anticipated. Although I had been a sincere Christian, perhaps my faith had grown thin.
I went into the mountain behind my home in Songdo, Incheon, and prayed for three months. What I prayed about was, “Whether the way I have lived up until now was right or not.”
I also continued to pray earnestly, saying, “With this body that has become ill, how should I live from now on?” Because of the after-effects of the illness, my body had become impaired, but since I had stepped back from the front lines of business, I had plenty of time.
I also wanted to know what had happened afterward with the Unification Church.
And I came to think that I should go to a nearby Unification Church where the members were gathering diligently, talk with them, and try, even a little, to guide things in a good direction.
At the time when I was able to move my legs, the pastor of the Incheon District Church was called Moon Heung-gwon. One day, after I had been attending for several months, when the service ended, a middle-aged woman greeted me and said, “Do you know who I am?” But no matter how much I thought about it, I could not remember.
Then she said, “I am the daughter of Deacon Ryu, who was at the Daegu Church.” When she said that, I recalled that when I was at Seonjin Mine and attending services at the Daegu Church, she had been the daughter of Deacon Ryu, who was still a high school student at the time.
Now she had become the wife of Pastor Moon Hong-gwon, the district head here. Deacon Ryu was a person of deep faith who, despite experiencing many hardships, attended church diligently, and everyone in the family attended church; all of his children had become church officials.
In 1983, I went on a pilgrimage trip that also served as a consolation trip for elderly members. Even at the age of 70, I participated as one of the elderly members. At that time, I met Deacon Ryu for the first time in 20 years, and I was able to hear stories of what had happened in the meantime and about how his children were living lives of faith with dedication.
Around the time I returned from the trip, I received a call from the headquarters church in Seoul, saying that there was an important matter to discuss and asking me to come to Seoul by any means possible.

Meeting a church elder again after a long time
At the coffee shop of the Grand Hotel near Namdaemun, five of us gathered: Kim In-cheol, who at the time was the chairman of the Federation for Victory over Communism; Ahn Byeong-il, who was in charge of international affairs and external relations; Pastor Kim Deok-jin, Eu Hyo-min and myself.
The reason the headquarters church said they wanted me to come that day was this: “The only person who can restrain Kim Deok-jin’s actions is Teacher Pak, so please persuade him somehow.”
Pastor Kim Deok-jin was devoting himself to evangelistic work by preaching God’s teachings to suspects or victims in police detention centers, helping them reach an honest and calm state of mind.
As mentioned earlier, Kim Deok-jin had outstanding talent in writing lyrics and composing music, and during the time he was a member of the Unification Church, he wrote and composed more than twenty “Holy Songs” that were widely sung within the church. However, Eu Hyo-min, the editor of the hymnbook, selected and published only nineteen of them.
Yet the Unification Church printed and sold tens of thousands of copies of those songs in Korean, Japanese, and English without listing the composer’s name and without permission.

In order to raise the issues of publishing rights and copyright, Pastor Kim was preparing to file a complaint at the Yongsan Police Station against Lee Jae-seok, the president of the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity.
In addition, Pastor Kim stated that during his time in the Unification Church, he had received restoration pikareum sex from a member of the Yushin Association (a group of women who had received restoration directly from Sun Myung Moon). He himself had then restored more than ten women in a relay fashion.
Those who received restoration through this method would then restore others, and those who were restored would then restore yet more people. As this process progressed, the circle of pikareum sexual connection would expand, eventually bringing purification [of the tainted blood from original sin] to all people around the world.
He also expressed an intention to publish in various newspapers a manuscript in which he wrote, exactly as he experienced it, about the practical methods of implementing this restoration principle. (See Chapter 7.)
At the same time, there was a plan to initiate a civil lawsuit demanding 50 million won in damages, with Pastor Kim Deok-jin depositing 5 million won as security and applying for an injunction to prohibit the singing of the hymns.
Pastor Kim had been discussing and preparing these plans with a lawyer when this meeting took place.

I was close to Kim Deok-jin and understood well both his feelings and his anger. However, since we had attended the Unification Church together as members, I persuaded Kim Deok-jin by saying, “Let’s watch the Unification Church a little longer. We can raise these issues at any time,” and I was able, for the time being, to halt the lawsuit.
At that time, Ahn Byeong-il and Kim In-cheol said to me, “Teacher Pak, it would be better for you to come to the Seoul headquarters rather than staying in Incheon.” From then on, for three years, I came out to the headquarters church.
191
A living witness to the founding of the Unification Church
At the Seoul headquarters church, they made various proposals to assign me some kind of position, since I was the most senior elder there, but I declined them all.
As someone who had been involved since the very beginning of the Unification Church, I thought that, as an aging and elderly member, if there was any cooperation I could offer that would contribute to the sound development of the Unification Church, I would do so. It was like the feelings of a parent watching the growth of the children they had given birth to.
From 1981 for five years, I attended the church diligently. I prayed with both body and mind. Within the Unification Church, I was also promoted as “Pak Chung-hwa, a living witness who walked the path of suffering together with the Returning Messiah,” and I gave testimony here and there. I even went to Japan and gave lectures at more than a dozen locations, delivering about forty talks before approximately five thousand people.
However, there was always a condition attached to my testimony. The content of my lectures was to be limited to “up to the point of fleeing south from the Heungnam prison.” They asked that I not speak about anything beyond that.
In short, the purpose was to deeply impress upon many people what a great figure Sun Myung Moon was, having crossed and recrossed a path of suffering. I had mixed feelings, but I spoke exactly as the facts had occurred.
Even so, I liked the fervent members of the Unification Church. As with any religion, even if the upper leadership is corrupt, many of the rank-and-file believers are honest and pure people. Being able to interact with such people was a joy.
On July 8, 1985, at the request of the student council presidents of the Unification Theological Seminary, I was asked to “make the refugee route a reality.” They requested that, in order to reenact the process of fleeing from Pyongyang to Busan together with Sun Myung Moon, I walk from the Imjin River to Yeongdeungpo.
After eating lunch at the Imjin River, despite my frail physical condition, I forced myself to walk a distance of 18 kilometers in drizzling rain. As a result, my feet became swollen and I had to go to the hospital.
At the age of seventy-four, and because I had walked for such a long time, my blood circulation worsened, and I wondered whether the area that had been fractured long ago was swelling again. At the hospital, they warned me that if the toxin from the swelling circulated into my abdomen, it could be dangerous.
At the very first treatment, the cost was about 30,000 won in total – 20,000 won for medicine, 5,000 won for acupuncture, and 4,000 won for transportation – but the amount required to reach a complete cure was beyond what I could afford given my financial circumstances.
I contacted the student council president, but received no response, so, having no other choice, I deposited a check that I had kept for emergencies into the bank and was barely able to receive treatment by spending one million won per month.
I explained my situation in detail to Pastor Lee Yo-han, who was the president of the Unification Theological Seminary at the time, and asked whether the treatment expenses could be shared, but Pastor Lee coldly refused, saying, “There is nothing I can do.”
That even a senior figure like Pastor Lee Yo-han said so clearly that he “could not do anything” about such an obvious matter is evidence that Sun Myung Moon’s nature of using people as much as possible and then discarding them once they are no longer useful, as well as his dictatorial rule, had not changed.
193
Sun Myung Moon’s lies and the Japanese members
Something like this also happened. One day in 1983, I received a call from the International Department of the Unification Church. They said, “There is something we would like to ask you, so please come.”
When I arrived, the International Director, Ahn Byung-il, showed me a photograph that had appeared in the JoongAng Ilbo and asked whether I knew this photo. It showed a person with short hair wearing a winter cap, carrying someone on his back, with his pants rolled up, crossing a river.
Ahn Byung-il asked, “Isn’t this a photograph of Reverend Sun Myung Moon carrying you, Mr. Pak, on his back while crossing a river?”
I answered clearly that at that time there had been no opportunity to even to take photographs, and that there had been no occasion on which I had crossed a river on Teacher’s back. At that point, even the staff members in the International Department said nothing, and I thought the matter had ended there.
▲ Sun Myung Moon lied that he was “carrying Pak across the river on my back.”
[This photograph was seen at an exhibition in Seoul. It had this caption: “A Korean refugee carries his aged father across the icy Han River at Chungju in their flight south to escape the onrushing Chinese Communist Forces. Photo taken on January 14, 1951 by US Army Cpl. J. J. McGinty.”]
▲ In 2011 the Unification Church were STILL using this photo, along with an invented story of going to Yongmae Island. All lies.
However, in May of that year I went to Japan. When I was taken to the headquarters church in Shibuya, Tokyo, I saw that on the lower-floor reception room, in an exhibition titled “The Early Footsteps of Reverend Sun Myung Moon,” there was an enlargement of the photograph that had appeared in the JoongAng Ilbo, blown up to the size of the wall. Officials of the Japanese headquarters church gathered around, placed me in front of the photograph, and took commemorative pictures.
They explained the photograph to me. It seemed that when Sun Myung Moon in America first saw this photograph, he said, “This is a scene from when I was fleeing, carrying Pak Chung-hwa on my back and crossing a river barefoot in the bitter cold of winter.”
Because the person at the center of the story had come, the members in Japan were deeply moved and asked that I tell them the story from that time.
As I had said in the International Department of the Unification Church in Korea, there was no occasion on which such a photograph was taken. There was no occasion on which Reverend Sun Myung Moon carried me on his back and crossed a river barefoot. If I were to say that plainly, it would mean that Sun Myung Moon had lied.
If that were so, the Japanese members would surely have been disappointed.
Thinking that, I had no choice but to lie. So I answered that when we were on Yongmaedo and returning from the Cheongnyong Peninsula, the tide was high and there was no choice but for me to be carried on Teacher’s back to cross. I added that about fifteen or sixteen members had followed us at that time and had taken photographs of us, and that since President Rhee Syngman’s wife, Francesca, was collecting photographs of the war, it was probably provided to the JoongAng Ilbo.
The Japanese members were deeply moved, but I felt a heavy burden on my conscience and suffered greatly.
This photograph was again printed in the Dong-A Ilbo dated March 31, 1985, in “Secret Stories of the Korean War = Memoirs of Chung Il-kwon,” and it appeared much clearer than when it had been printed in the JoongAng Ilbo.
When I looked at that photograph, it was clear that the people shown were not Sun Myung Moon or myself.
To fabricate something that is not true and present it as if it were fact is, for the Unification Church, something extremely commonplace, and it is their habitual method whenever they engage in propaganda.
195
The Principle was stolen from Kim Baek-moon (金百文)
From the time I began going to the headquarters in Seoul, I had many opportunities to meet people who had worked hard at the time of the church’s founding. There were many who had left, and also many who were still holding on within it. The elderly women were especially pitiful.
Using the principle of restoration as a pretext, they had been ruthlessly trampled by Sun Myung Moon, had lost their property and their families, and had been reduced to lives of hardship. Those people resented Sun Myung Moon and lamented that even God, who had allowed their lives to be turned into this, was cruel.
On the surface, the Unification Church appeared to be expanding into a tremendous power, but both in Japan and in the United States, scandals involving money never ceased.
On July 20, 1984, Sun Myung Moon was imprisoned at the Danbury Federal Correctional Institution in the state of Connecticut, America, for [document forgery, perjury and] tax evasion. A Japanese man, Kamiyama Takeru, who was incarcerated together with Sun Myung Moon and lived with him in prison for nearly five months (later appointed chairman of the Japanese Unification Church Council in 1992), made statements saying that Reverend Sun Myung Moon’s attitude in prison was admirable. However, that amounts to nothing more than saying that this was the third time Sun Myung Moon had gone to prison and that he was already well accustomed to it.
In Heungnam, it was for socially disruptive crimes arising from sexual promiscuity with women from Pyongyang. In Seoul in 1955, although he was acquitted thanks to perjured testimony by members and our desperate efforts to destroy evidence, if the facts had been judged as they truly were, it would have resulted in a long prison sentence for Sun Myung Moon.
In addition to the tax evasion case in the United States, there were also subtle rumors intertwined concerning the acquisition of real estate. After spending more than a year in prison, he was released on August 20 of the following year, 1985, yet the Unification Church continued to insist that the accusations against Reverend Sun Myung Moon were completely groundless.
Rather than spending enormous sums of money to distribute Unification Principle videos or books to as many as 350,000 American pastors and to hold a lavish celebration for his release from prison, would it not have been the true principle to act in a way that more carefully examined what lay at one’s own feet?
Moreover, the “Principles of Creation, Fall, and Restoration,” which the Unification Church treats as priceless treasures, were not conceived by Sun Myung Moon. While attending the Israel Monastery under Kim Baek-mun together with his wife Choi Seon-gil, Sun Myung Moon simply appropriated Kim Baek-mun’s logic in its entirety. [Kim said Choi was too strong-willed and refused to restore her. She did not approve of him.]
Sun Myung Moon memorized things haphazardly, without achieving logical consistency, and wrote notes in pencil on paper; Eu Hyo-min then neatly transcribed and organized those notes, and Eu Hyo-won constructed them into a logically consistent system. The true origin of the Unification Church’s doctrine lies with the now-deceased Eu Hyo-won, and if one were to follow the principles strictly, Eu Hyo-won alone should be regarded as the true leader.
Sun Myung Moon, who became jealous of Eu Hyo-won’s outstanding intellect and character despite having received such great benefit from him, subsequently committed various despicable acts by every means, eventually leading to Eu Hyo-won’s death as well (described later).
The basis for my assertion that the Unification Church’s doctrine consists of Kim Baek-mun’s logic appropriated by Sun Myung Moon and organized by Eu Hyo-won becomes immediately clear upon reading Kim Baek-mun’s work. These are his three books: Theology of the Holy Spirit 聖神神学 성신신학 (January 25, 1954), Fundamental Christian Principles 基督教根本原理 기독교근본원리 (January 1, 1958) and Theory of Character Formed by Faith 信仰人格論 (September 30, 1970). If you read the first two of Kims’ books, you will see my point.

Suspicions of a marriage between half-siblings
There is an unforgettable incident.
At one time, the family of Song Byeong-ho in Busan suddenly called me and said that President Song was hospitalized at a university hospital in Busan, that he very much wanted to meet Mr. Pak, and that President Song was in critical condition. I wanted to rush there immediately, but at that time I myself was also ill and in a condition where I could barely take care of my own body.
So I said, “Please wait a little longer. As soon as my condition improves somewhat, I will come to see him,” but three days later I heard the news that he had died.
During his lifetime, the late President Song had spoken to me several times about Sun Myung Moon.
He said that a son born to a woman other than Hak Ja, Moon’s wife, had married the daughter of a leader, and asked whether this was not a sibling marriage.
The leader’s wife had a large age difference of nine years, so she would ordinarily not have been a suitable marriage partner, yet she became one of the 36 Couples (described later).
In fact, at that time, that woman was pregnant as a result of “restoration” with Sun Myung Moon. At that time, there were no suitable members available, so unlike in the cases of Kim Myung-hee or Choi Soon-wha, there was no one who could be asked to take on the role.
Therefore, it seems that there was no choice but to entrust the matter to a leader and have him arrange a marriage with the member whom Sun Myung Moon had made pregnant.
Although it was presented as a marriage between a son of Sun Myung Moon and a daughter born to a leader and his wife, in reality the daughter was also a child of Sun Myung Moon. That being the case, the marriage was unquestionably a sibling marriage.
▲ Sung-jin Moon was apparently married to his half sister, Dong-sook (mother unknown). Sun Myung Moon conducted the marriage at the Shōtō Headquarters in Tokyo, on July 18, 1973, to avoid any scandal in Korea. LINK
According to Korean custom, a sibling marriage is utterly unthinkable and something that must never occur. I earnestly insisted that this could not be so, and tried hard to persuade him that it must have been some kind of mistake.
This President Song became a member in Busan after I introduced him to Sun Myung Moon. He was a graduate of Yeonhui College in Seoul (now Yonsei University), and we were very close. After retiring from his position as head of the Busan Customs Office, he ran a customs brokerage office.
When the Unification Church finally published Explanation of the Principle, I asked him for help and he contributed 500,000 won in funds.
At first, for a period of time, he attended zealously as a member and made a considerable amount of donations, but after seeing the true nature of the man Sun Myung Moon, he became greatly disappointed and angrily withdrew. Even after that, however, he continued to pursue matters related to Sun Myung Moon.
Since President Song stated that this was the truth as something he himself was involved in, I could not refute it. Moreover, at that time I was at the mine and did not know the circumstances of the 36 Couples, so I also had no grounds for rebuttal.

Kim Deok-jin who practiced according to the “restoration” principle
No matter what is said about Sun Myung Moon and the Unification Church’s issue of restoration, one matter that must be left on record is the case of Kim Deok-jin, which was mentioned earlier.
During the period at Seojin Mine, I received word that Jo Dong-seok had brought Kim Deok-jin from Seoul to Daegu. When I went to Daegu, I was told that Sun Myung Moon had ordered that Kim Deok-jin be taken to Pak Chung-hwa, who was at the mine, because Kim Deok-jin had many problems in Seoul, and that he had been brought there accordingly. Kim Deok-jin was originally an artist with talent in music and a person of an honest character.
I returned to the mine together with Kim Deok-jin, and I asked him why he had come all the way to this deep mountain area. He said that after hearing Sun Myung Moon’s Principle, he himself received restoration from a woman who had received restoration from Sun Myung Moon. Then he, in turn, gave restoration to another woman, saying that he had merely practiced according to the Principle. It seems that Kim Deok-jin received restoration three times according to the Principle from Eu Shin-hee, who had received restoration from Sun Myung Moon.
After receiving restoration from Eu Shin-hee, he restored five women at the home of Eom Sun-tae in Jongno 5-ga. Those women then restored other men, and in the space of only one week, more than seventy men and women participated in the restoration rite.
As this method spread further and further, rumors about “restoration,” that is, sexual relations between men and women, reached the ears of the association president Eu Hyo-won and Sun Myung Moon. As a result, Kim Deok-jin, who had become the problem, was expelled to the place where I was at Seojin Mine so that he would never again appear in Seoul.
After coming to the mine, Kim Deok-jin did not even try to go down into the mine tunnels. He shut himself alone in a room and devoted himself solely to composing lyrics and music based on the Principle. At first, I asked Kim Deok-jin to tell me honestly what had happened, but he replied that he had only practiced according to the Principle.
At that time I clearly said that, since he had practiced according to the Principle, I thought there was absolutely nothing wrong on his part. For about two years thereafter, I conversed with him. When the remittances from Sun Myung Moon to Kim Deok-jin were abruptly cut off and there was nothing to eat, he went back to Seoul and began once again to practice restoration.
Then Eu Hyo-won contacted me, so I went to Seoul, brought Kim Deok-jin, who was practicing restoration there, down to Daegu, and arranged for him to marry his present wife. When one thinks about it, Kim Deok-jin did nothing more than practice according to the Principle. What, then, is there to condemn? Sun Myung Moon preached the Principle and destroyed countless families beyond calculation, and Kim Deok-jin merely practiced according to Sun Myung Moon’s Principle.
To confine such a person in a mountain mine and prevent him from ever appearing in Seoul again is incomprehensible. However, at that time, there was nothing I could do about it.

The role of the 36 couples
Measures against the proliferation of self-proclaimed Returning Messiahs
Looking back, according to the Principle, if a woman restored by Sun Myung Moon were to restore a male member, and that male member were then to restore another female member, in this way restoring all humanity in the world and exchanging bloodline generations (血代交換), it would be considered only natural.
In the course of such a process, several individuals began appearing in various places, each shouting, “I alone am the returning Messiah. That Sun Myung Moon is a fraud and Satan,” insisting that unless one received restoration from them, it was not genuine. As a result, the number of believers gathering to receive restoration from such people continued to increase.
As this situation developed, Sun Myung Moon, after much thought, came up with the idea of the “36 Blessed Couples.”
Since it was unreasonable for Sun Myung Moon to directly restore all humanity in the world and exchange bloodlines, he decided to directly restore (exchange bloodlines with) only these 36 Blessed Couples.
After that, the method was changed so that the True Parents would sprinkle “holy water” and give blessings to brides who were newly marrying, and thus the practice of “mass wedding ceremonies” was established.
The so-called 36 Blessed Couples were formed through this process. But then, why 36?
▲ The mother-of-the-bride, Hong Soon-ae, giving a testimony about her daughter’s youth after the marriage of Teacher Moon and Han Hak Ja (the Marriage Supper of the Lamb).
This is the caption in the Korean edition of the book, which was published by Eu Hyo-min who probably took the photograph. Here is the erroneous caption from the Japanese edition: Sun Myung Moon and the members seriously considering the matching of the 36 couples at the Cheongpa-dong Church in Seoul.
It was explained as follows: the 12 tribes of the Old Testament era, the 12 disciples of Jesus in the New Testament era, and, calling Sun Myung Moon’s Principle the “Completed Testament era,” another set of 12 disciples. Altogether, 36 Blessed Couples were chosen in order to expand the lost vertical history (縱的) and horizontal history (橫的). By establishing these conditions of indemnity to restore through indemnity the Old Testament, the New Testament, the Completed Testament, and the entire world.
The brides of the 36 couples are said to have no qualification unless they are women restored by Sun Myung Moon or his counterparts. “Restoration” means sex, and its purpose is “bloodline exchange” (血代交換).
What Jesus, the second Adam, failed to accomplish, the third Adam (that is, Sun Myung Moon) returns to this world to accomplish through bloodline exchange.
In other words, when the Messiah, as the representative of the world, has sex with six Marys and with the wives of the 36 Blessed Couples, the defiled blood is said to be cleansed. This ritual is called bloodline exchange (血代交換).
And the children born from the 36 Blessed Couples who have undergone bloodline exchange are said to be sinless children of God, and as such people spread throughout the world, a world without sin is said to be born.
At present, it is thought that there are no people like the 36 Blessed Couples or the six Marys who have received direct or indirect restoration through bloodline exchange (血代交換) with Sun Myung Moon. No matter how great Sun Myung Moon’s appetite, the number is too large for him to “consume” them all.
Therefore, now Sun Myung Moon substitutes this by sprinkling “holy water,” while the method of three sexual acts is still maintained.
❖ Photo added:
▲ After the final ceremony for the marriage of the 36 couples, there was a public procession of the couples in cars through the streets of Seoul. Mr. Moon always sought maximum publicity from the mass marriages he held.
Note
The list of the 36 couples is exactly as it appears in Mr. Pak’s book. Some of the following explanatory information is not in his book. Some of Mr Moon’s quotes about the couples have been added.
This list should be an accurate list of the original 36 couples who were married by Mr. Moon. During 1960-1961 he held three ceremonies. He then put all those couples together as one group which became known as ‘the 36 couples.’ When some left the church they were replaced by couples from the 72 couples group or from other groups. For example Mr. Moon said: “No one knows, if Seuk Joon-ho [Dr. Seuk, the son of Mrs. Choi Won-pok] enters the 36 couples…” January 2, 1997, São Paulo, Brazil

▲ Here are 12 of the Ewha Womans University students who were expelled because of the “scandalous rites” of the Unification Church. After their expulsion, the students managed to meet President Kim Hwallan on May 23, 1955. She stood by her decision. This picture was taken on campus after that meeting.

(Bottom from left) Choi Soon-wha (the mother of Sam Park), Yim Seung-hee, Kim Jung-eun, Shin Mi-shik (later known as Mamasan Choi) and Park Seung-kyu.
* Lee Gye-soon entered Kyunghee University in 1957. She left the Unification Church over 50 years ago and had a successful career as a professor.
** Before Chi Saeng-ryeon joined she was known as Chi Mal-sook, and after she moved to the US in 1973 she was known as Mal-sook Lee.
Kim Yun-rye was also expelled but later made a pledge to give up attending the Unification Church, and Ewha Womans University allowed her to return to her studies.
Eight of the expelled students entered other universities in 1956.
Ewha in the list above = Ewha Womans University students
These ten women joined as students during the Ewha University Sex Scandal of 1955. There were other students who joined, but they were not included in the 36 couples marriage, which took place in stages in 1960-61.
The Hongs (couple 16) left in the 1990s. They were the parents of Nansook Hong. Nansook’s brother was married to Ye Jin Moon. He left before Nansook and he helped Nansook to escape the East Garden compound.
Mr. Moon bought a house for each of the 36 couples. Apparently, because Korea is a ‘low-trust’ nation, this was one way of trying to ensure their loyalty.
Mr. Moon: “In Korea I bought houses for many early members of our Church and in the future I would like to take the responsibility of buying houses for all the black, white and yellow people. I am the only one in history who is doing this, but it isn’t easy.”
October 3, 1976 Belvedere, New York. Translator: Pak Bo Hi.
The 36 couples were the first of two or three “Royal Blessings.” They definitely included the 36 and 72 couples and may have included the 124 couples. The wives from the “Royal Blessings” were all ‘purified’ by Mr. Moon. The “Royal Couples” were also known as Mr. Moon’s “Tribe.” More is explained in this Shūkan Post October 15, 1993 magazine article, published at the same time as Mr. Pak’s book.
Some of the 36 couples became quite wealthy and lived in expensive properties. Some had Japanese members helping in their homes.
Mr. Moon kept many of the 36 couples separated from their spouses for many years. This caused some couples great heartache – for example Kim Won-pil was one who longed to be with his wife. It caused complications in other couples.
It is a fact that the 36 couples all had ‘womb cleansing’ pikareum sex rituals with Mr. Moon. The theology was explained to Japanese members in the early 1990s by Mr. Yoshiaki Hiro, Mr. Kunio Sano and Mr. Yasutomo Shirai. (Mr Takeru Kamiyama was to be the main lecturer, but he was in hospital with stomach problems.) There had also been lectures about Moon’s pikareum theology given in Japan in the 1980s by a lecturer called Ota.
Here are some further quotes from Mr. Moon about the 36 couples:
“I have received many such certificates from Satan. One of the most dramatic was during the Blessing of the 36 couples. Incredible controversy erupted at that time; people were praying to God, ‘Please don’t let Reverend Moon take my son away. Let him die tonight instead.’ … At the time of the 36 couple Blessing, the entire nation of Korea opposed me. I was a villain in the eyes of the country.”
December 27, 1981, Belvedere, New York.
“This is the first group of people I blessed. These cover every facet of our society, every group of society, so for everyone who accepts the principle there is room to go to heaven. They have their own ladder to climb up. They have their own channel. Do you understand? I want you to understand that I opened 36 doors so that every person here on earth has one door to get into. No opportunity is lost, there is always a door open for everyone out there, once they accept and repent they can go through one door which is the mercy of God.”
May 20, 1978, London.
“All women’s love should unite with me. The 36 couples should not think about their own family, but how to save the nation.”
July 14, 2002, East Garden, New York.
Taught at a Family Federation for World Peace and Unification workshop:
“The Purpose of God’s Providence of Salvation is to end the journey of God’s sperm.”
❖ This marks the end of the added section.
Also, in Japan, bloodline exchange seems to be understood by the expression pinanugi (“sharing blood”), but within the Unification Church there is no term called pinanugi. It is thought to be something that was incorrectly transmitted somewhere.
[The term for pikareum is chiwake 血分け in Japan.]
These 36 Blessed Couples are said to be holy families that have undergone bloodline relations, and they are objects of veneration among Unification Church members.
Whenever any important matter arises, it is said that those responsible are generally selected from among these 36 Blessed Couples, which places them in a position of great importance. Among these Blessed Couples, there are five families in which one spouse has died, and nine couples that have withdrawn.
The existence of these 14 families leads one to think that there is some error somewhere in Moon’s Principle.
According to the Principle, if the lost Eve is restored and the six Marys are also restored, they will be able to live together with the True Parents, the fallen human beings will be restored to their original created state, and, according to that logic, there should never again be death, suffering, or falling away among these 36 Blessed Couples and the members of the Unification Church in this world.
Then why is it that among these 36 Blessed Couples, 14 Blessed Couples have either experienced death or have withdrawn?
This is thought to be the result of flaws within that Principle.
[The wives of the 72 couples were also said to have been pikareum restored by Sun Myung Moon. Their marriage took all day, done in three groups of 24. Eu Hyo-min described the sex rituals. The 72 couples are also known as Holy Blessed couples, or Royal Blessed couples. Whenever there is a shortfall in the 36 couples, members of the 72 couples are promoted to fill the gaps. Eu Hyo-min’s couple was promoted from the 72 to the 36 couples in this way. ]

The contributors who were sacrificed
If Sun Myung Moon is truly the returning Messiah, then from the very beginning, should he not do whatever it takes to help Ok Se-hyun, who knitted socks from her own hair for him, and who, at the age of 96, after devoting more than half of her life in loyal service to Moon, is now barely getting by while living in rented rooms?
Also, consider the case of Deacon Park Bong-shik, who was originally the wife of Elder Song Do-uk. Because Moon arranged the marriage of Elder Song Do-uk to Deacon Oh Yeong-choon, she was left alone.
After that, her former husband soon died, and with nowhere to go, Deacon Park Bong-shik was living at the church.
Then, under the church policy that the elderly are no longer of any use, she was driven out of the church as well, making it difficult for her even to survive. How can it be that women who have devotedly served Moon with all their hearts can be abandoned so coldly and heartlessly?
In the early days, when he was restoring them, he did whatever he pleased because it suited him, but once their youth, beauty, and money were gone, he immediately cast them aside, moved on to another woman, and never tried to see them again.
Such things are not written in the Principle. And this is not only a problem for women.
As for me, Pak Chung-hwa, who dragged an injured leg with a fractured ankle bone,while fleeing south together with him, lies were fabricated and spread to brand me as a traitor. Because of this, I resolved that no matter what, I must complete this manuscript and reveal the truth.
No matter how much I think about it, it is clear that it was not I who betrayed Moon, but Moon who betrayed me.

Eu Hyo-won was a man of greater character than Sun Myung Moon
Next, I would like to make clear the matter concerning Mr. Eu Hyo-won.
On this basis, he not only completed the Explanation of the Principle (원리해설), which he structured and wrote, but also, despite being physically disabled, devoted all his energy to the training of evangelists, serving with loyalty day and night without rest. When the 36 Couples were selected, he undertook the arduous task of determining and matching each pair.
❖ Quote and photo added:
Sun Myung Moon: “When our church was just starting, for three years and eight months, President Eu Hyo-won lectured eighteen hours a day at Cheongpa-dong even though his health was very poor. I’m telling you that I had a sickly man continue to lecture for forty-four months, eighteen hours a day. It set a tradition and that’s why we lectured for two days, finishing both parts [of the Divine Principle] in two days.
It must have been very hard. As the lecturer, he may have felt pain in his lungs and in other parts of his body, but when he was not lecturing Divine Principle, I would say, “Hey! You are a trumpeter of Heaven’s will; you have to lecture if asked, even for eighteen hours. The spirit world is preparing to speak now. How can you possibly be like this? Get to work!” We did things in that way for all those months. It’s a record.”

▲ Eu Hyo-won, left, entered hospital on October 28, 1969 for an operation on his right hip. He died on July 24, 1970 at 56 years of age. Moon did not attend his funeral, but remained in his house.
❖ End of added information
Eu Hyo-won had been a medical student at the former Keijō Imperial University [in Seoul which had closed in 1946]. Though he did not graduate, and even though he himself was a patient, he understood his own illness in detail.
At that time, he was suffering from joint pain caused by tuberculous osteoarthritis or tuberculous ankylosis. He was in a considerably weakened state.
[Tuberculous ankylosis is the fusion and rigid stiffening of a joint (often the spine, hip, or knee) caused by chronic destruction from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, resulting in severe loss of motion. It typically manifests as chronic joint pain, stiffness, deformity, and functional limitation, often appearing years after the initial infection.]
In his hip the disease caused his thigh bone and pelvic bone to fuse together, leaving him physically disabled and unable to sit comfortably. He also knew that even if he underwent surgery, it would not result in a complete cure.
Nevertheless, Sun Myung Moon came to him and, saying it was a command from heaven, ordered him to undergo the operation. It is said that Moon even went so far as to say that refusing the surgery would be disobeying heaven’s command.
Eu Hyo-won wept and refused to undergo the operation.
He once consulted me, saying, “I am living by injections; what should I do?”
However, he could not defy Sun Myung Moon, and in the end, he reluctantly underwent the surgery. He spent about nine months in hospital and died as a result. The heartless conduct of Sun Myung Moon at that time was such that even within the organization it was said to amount to indirect murder.
After Eu Hyo-won’s funeral, when people returned from the mountain and the church leaders were gathered together, Moon reportedly said, “What relationship did Hyo-won have with me? He’s dead, isn’t he?”
▲ Eu Hyo-won
Sun Myung Moon entrusted many secrets to Eu Hyo-won, who was an intelligent man of character and extremely popular among the believers. Later, feeling that Eu Hyo-won had become a dangerous presence, did Moon perhaps seek to eliminate him?
Moreover, according to accounts from senior leaders who were in the United States at the time, two husbands of the 36 couples, Lee Gi-seok and Park Jong-gu had already died, and were said to be seated in very high positions in the spirit world, whereas Eu Hyo-won was said to be sitting in the very lowest seat.
Furthermore, this account was published in a magazine called Unification World and was also presented at the Cheongpyeong Prayer Center. This can only be described as an extremely harsh beating of a dead person.
Eu Hyo-won was in fact the greatest contributor to the Unification Church, yet once he had served his purpose, they turned on him, harassed him, and even after his death continued to beat him down.
❖ Two quotes and photo added
Pastor Kim Deok-jin spoke firmly as follows, “What do the newcomers to the church know? In 1970, Mr. Eu Hyo-won , who was one of the major leaders died in a hospital in Seoul. I happened to meet him by chance in the hallway of that hospital one week before he passed away, and spoke with him in his hospital room. It was a hot day. We talked about Sun Myung Moon and shed tears together.”
“After Mr. Eu Hyo-won’s passing, his younger [cousin Eu Hyo-min left in 1972, and Hyo-min’s sister, Eu Shin-hee,] left the Unification Church because Eu Hyo-won had told them the real story of Sun Myung Moon. I am not lying, or trying to deceive anyone in my testimony.” [Eu Hyo-won’s brother, Eu Hyo-yeong, left in 1992.] LINK
▲ Eu Hyo-won giving a lecture.
Eu Shin-hee: “One day my cousin Eu Hyo-won was giving a sincere lecture about the teachings to his audience, giving it with sweat and passion; meanwhile Sun Myung Moon was flirting with the women. So Eu Hyo-won was more popular and respected by the female members. I think my cousin, Hyo-won, thought he could have lived longer if he had not been operated on. Since Hyo-won had studied medicine at university, he knew his condition well and that he might die if he had the surgery. He hated the idea and refused the operation.
However, Sun Myung Moon was afraid because people were saying “if he is the real messiah, he should be able to cure any disease.” It is a fact that there were such voices. So Hyo-won was reluctantly forced to have the operation, and he died. Since Eu Hyo-won was loved by many people, Moon’s worry about being deprived of a seat at the top was gone. Moon must certainly have felt relieved.” LINK

Eu Hyo-min, the entrepreneur who built the church finances
▲ Eu Hyo-min is sitting in front of Sun Myung Moon in this December 1955 photo. Eu Hyo-won is standing on the right. The others in the front are Kim Won-pil and Eu Hyo-yeong.
The story of Eu Hyo-min must also be told.
In the early days, when financial conditions were extremely difficult, Eu Hyo-min contributed to the development of the Unification Church by devising the idea of producing and selling bromide photographs, thereby sustaining the livelihoods of the members at the time.
He also invented a pellet (buckshot) air gun and, by manufacturing and selling it, laid the economic foundation of the Unification Church. This enterprise gradually developed into Tongil Industries Co., Ltd.
However, despite being the most central contributor, Eu Hyo-min was given only a single share certificate (which was later entirely taken back), and the invention patent for the air gun (a utility model international patent) was notarized as being donated under Sun Myung Moon’s name. Eu Hyo-min was given only the position of assembly department manager.
[Eu Hyo-min said he “was not eligible to hold a firearm manufacturing permit” because he had a criminal record following the Ewha University sex scandal of 1955 when he had been jailed.]
After that, Eu Hyo-min placed Baek Gu-seop in charge of sales operations at the Yehwa (예화) Air Gun Center in Euljiro and continued to work mainly outside.
It is said that he was subjected to such severe surveillance that even receipts were demanded for bus fares as small as 30 won.
Although this must have been on Sun Myung Moon’s orders, it seems to have been a maneuver intended to drive Eu Hyo-min out of the Unification Church, just as had been done in my own case.

▲ From the left, Eu Hyo-min, the author (Pak Chung-hwa) and Eu Hyo-yeong (around 1992).
At last, Eu Hyo-min severed his ties with the Unification Church and withdrew in 1972. After me, he was the second person, a shadow-like presence, to leave.
When one considers that the first secretary, Pak Chung-hwa, was betrayed; that the second, Eu Hyo-min, was treated so harshly that he was driven to withdraw; and that the third, Song Do-uk, as well as Eu Hyo-won, the greatest intellect and most distinguished contributor of the church, was caused to die, one must ask once again whether this was God’s providence or Sun Myung Moon’s own plan.
During the period when I was with Sun Myung Moon, from 1953 until we went to Seojin Mine in 1956, which can be called the most arduous period of the Unification Church’s development, not a single relative of Sun Myung Moon was involved.
After that, along the way, only Moon Seong-gyun, Moon Yong-seon, and Moon Seung-ryong entered, but once the finances of the Unification Church grew, almost all economic control came to be held by Sun Myung Moon’s relatives.
In truth, the person who knows best that Sun Myung Moon is not the Returning Messiah is Sun Myung Moon himself. I came to think that perhaps he was carrying out a plan to transfer the Unification Church’s assets to his own relatives, whom he could trust, in order to secure the foundation for his future livelihood.

Eu Hyo-yeong, president of the Il Shin Stone Company, exported the controversial miniature Dabotap pagodas [to Japan]
❖ Photos and information added:
▲ Moon looking at some miniature pagodas that were made in the church-owned Il-Shin Stone factory in Korea and were sold in Japan for extortionate sums. LINK
▲ Dabotap at Bulguksa, Gyeongju, South Korea
The Dabo Pagoda, also known as the pagoda of many treasures, is located in the Bulguksa temple. From entering the temple through the Cheongun and Baegun Bridge, Dabotap is located on the right side, opposite the Seokgatap pagoda on the left. The pagoda was probably built in 751, the 10th year of the Shilla king Gyeongdeok. It is currently designated as Korean National Treasure no. 20.
The two pagodas reflect a story in the Lotus Sutra. This pagoda represents the Dabo Buddha, and the Seokgatap pagoda represents Sakyamuni. Dabo represents the objective truth, while Sakyamuni represents the subjective wisdom to realize it. Dabotap is highly decorative and looks feminine, whereas Seokgatap is simplified and looks more masculine. The sophisticated Dabotap symbolizes the complexity of the world; the simple Seokgatap represents the brevity of spiritual ascent. (from Fascinating Tales of Blooming Silla by Alexander Chang and Andrew Chang, 2006).
The Unification Church, claiming to be Christian, is selling Buddhist items. The fraud of this group, just using “religion” as a tool, is again exposed. The photograph below is of the pagoda at the Nichiren Shogo and Madonoji Temple in Miyazu City, Kyoto. This was constructed in 1984 by duplicating one of the pagodas at the Bulguksa Temple in Korea. The work was done by Unification Church companies from Korea (Happy World, Kogyo Construction and Il-Shin Stone Companies). In the early 1990s it was revealed that victims who purchased the pagodas were invited to do a “Tour of Maso-ji Temple” in order to promote the spiritual sales scam in Japan.

❖ End of added information
On one occasion, I met Eu Hyo-yeong, president of Ilshin Stone (note: he resigned and withdrew in 1992), and heard his story over a meal.
According to Eu Hyo-yeong, through diligent ingenuity and research at his company, Ilshin Stone Co., Ltd., they produced a scaled-down version of the Dabotap pagoda reduced to “one-sixteenth” of its original size. When they tried selling it in Japan, exports exceeded expectations, reaching about 2 billion won per month.
However, Moon Seung-ryong (Sun Myung Moon’s sixth cousin), coveting this income, persistently demanded a plan to divide the factory’s operations so that he himself would take charge of the Dabotap manufacturing division, while President Eu Hyo-yeong would handle only the remaining parts. The income from the Dabotap alone accounted for as much as 95% of the company’s total revenue.
To me, who had endured everything up to that point, it appeared that they intended to hand over only 5% and have Moon Seung-ryong seize the remaining 95%.
This was an utterly unacceptable idea.
Ilshin Stone was a company that President Eu Hyo-yeong himself had built up to this point, serving simultaneously as president, carpenter, and laborer, even cleaning the premises with his own hands.
Yet someone with no prior involvement suddenly jumped in, trying to seize it. Eu Hyo-yeong reportedly fought back fiercely, saying that such a thing was out of the question.
▲ Eu Hyo-yeong
Hearing this story, I thought back to the Busan-Daegu-Seoul period and to the days in the prison camps of North Korea.
At that time, we revered Sun Myung Moon as the Returning Messiah, listened to the Principle, and were desperate to gather new members. Together with those members, we labored day after day to build a new world exactly according to the Principle. The women, too, devoted themselves solely to the Principle, without thinking of property or jealousy. They abandoned their egos and even their families, striving from morning until night with nothing but the fulfillment of the Principle in mind.

The immorality and crimes of Sun Myung Moon
But once those exceedingly difficult times had passed and economic abundance arrived, relatives of Sun Myung Moon whom no one had ever even heard of began to flock in and take control, and everything became the dominion of the Moon clan.
Sun Myung Moon handed funds to a person named Mr. Park and, under Mr. Park’s name, secretly purchased real estate. This was discovered during an investigation by the tax office, and when Mr. Park, startled by the imposition of an enormous tax bill amounting to as much as 120 million won, revealed the matter, it came to light that Sun Myung Moon of the Unification Church had been fraudulently acquiring real estate.
Is this the sort of conduct that a man who proclaims himself to be the Messiah should engage in?
Sun Myung Moon served a prison sentence in the United States in connection with tax evasion [document forgery and perjury], yet according to the Unification Church’s own statements, “Reverend Sun Myung Moon served time despite having committed no crime.” Even during his imprisonment, it was exposed that he was lavishly distributing enormous sums of money. When one looks at the reality that real estate is being fraudulently purchased under other people’s names and that profitable businesses are almost all being taken over by Sun Myung Moon’s relatives, one cannot help but wonder whether this is truly a religious organization.
What, then, are the Principle, the ideal world, and the era of mutual coexistence and public righteousness (共生公義) of that ideal world which Sun Myung Moon spoke to me about?
The Moon clan’s cries for “Send more money” and “Send cash quickly” reverberate throughout the world.
In particular, in the neighboring country of Japan, members who are unaware of the true situation of the Unification Church believe in the realization of the ideal world and work zealously at collecting money, which has developed into a major antisocial problem known as the “spiritual sales” (霊感商法). LINK
▲ Sun Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han (with a Japanese leader?) admiring one of the marble pagodas that were manufactured in the Moon-owned Il-Shin Stone company in Korea. Marble vases and Buddha statues were also made here and sold in Japan. The church members attributed spiritual properties to the items, and sold them for huge prices. These were all part of the “spiritual sales” scandal. Over $1billion has now been paid back to Japanese customers following thousands of court cases against the church.
This problem can only be described as the harm (弊害) inflicted by relatives of Moon who knew nothing of the hardships of the early days.
They enticed female members into believing, “Even if you steal in violation of the law, God will forgive you,” and, speaking as though they were Sun Myung Moon’s relatives, were driving even harder the pursuit of material desire and greed for money.
And there is yet another matter. Korea suffered damage under Japanese colonial rule. Is it known to the pure Japanese believers that Sun Myung Moon was boasting that, in order to take revenge on Japan for this, Japanese money must be scraped up completely and taken away? (This is something that many senior leaders have heard.)
We must quickly realize that the ideal society of the Principle and the like are nothing more than dream-like stories. Also the self-proclaimed “True Father,” the Messiah of the Second Coming, is nothing more than an empty illusion.
What on earth is the Unification Church? Is it a religion? Or is it merely a money-worshipping corporate enterprise?
What is it that Sun Myung Moon is aiming for?
If he is merely proclaiming himself to be the Messiah, then what becomes of the Principle?
If Sun Myung Moon’s actions are said to be restoration according to the Principle, then are not the six Marys sufficient according to the Principle?
Not only did he deprive the six Marys of their chastity, but under the pretext of “restoration” he violated countless other women beyond reckoning and exploited their property. This is unforgivable.
Deceiving them by claiming to make them the “True Mother,” he violated the virgin Choi Soon-wha at a hotel near Seoul Station. [Or he violated Choi Soon-shil there. She was the older sister he planned to marry in 1959. Moon violated both sisters and their mother.] Likewise violated Kim Soon-cheol under the same pretext. In addition, he restored a virgin named Kim Myung-hee under the same pretext and impregnated her, thereby destroying the life of a university student.
These are enormous crimes committed by Sun Myung Moon, who proclaims himself to be the Returning Messiah. They are grave issues for the Unification Church.

8. Sun Myung Moon emphasized to Lee Deuk-sam that the ‘sam’ part of her name was very significant. In Korean it means three. Moon said she and her two daughters were in a providential trinity formation and that they should not leave their positions. Moon told the daughters they were in Leah and Rachel positions. Moon planned to marry Soon-shil, and seven years later to marry Soon-wha, thus restoring Jacob’s course. (In the Bible, Laban and Adinah were the parents of Leah and Rachel.)
Moon never intended to be monogamous. His relationships with Choi Won-pok and Hak Ja Han are another example of a Jacob-Leah-Rachel relationship.

The misery of Kim Myung-hee
▲ Kim Myung-hee in 1954
If we note in particular the case of Kim Myung-hee, who was an outstanding student at Yonsei University…
When Sun Myung Moon learned that Kim Myung-hee had become pregnant, he feared that his own position would be endangered and devised a plan to send her to Japan together with Oh Seung-taek 呉昇澤, an innocent young man who was a recent church member and a student at the same university.
[Moon feared he might be arrested for adultery since he was still married to his first wife. Moon implied that Oh Seung-taek was the father of the child. On March 7, 1955 Dong-sook had been born and it is widely accepted that she, known as a ‘True Child’, was the daughter of Sun Myung Moon.]
❖ In the book only a part of this photo was used.
▲ Kim Myung-hee, who may be pregnant (left) and Choi Soon-wha in early summer 1955. That summer Kim Myung-hee stayed at the Seoul home of Yang Yun-yeong, the music professor.
They both had illegitimate sons with Sun Myung Moon. Kim Myung-hee gave birth to Moon Hee-jin on August 17, 1955 and Choi Soon-wha gave birth to Samuel Park in Washington, DC, on January 28, 1966 – nine months after Sun Myung Moon had been there.
According to the Sunday Journal of April 25, 2013, Sun Myung Moon married Myung-hee Kim on June 30, 1955, a few weeks before he sent her to Japan where she gave birth in Tokyo.
Promising to guarantee funds for their life abroad, he had them hidden on a small boat that was smuggling spent military shell casings from Busan to Japan, and they entered Japan illegally. (This was paid for using money that Oh had obtained by deceiving his father, claiming it was for tuition.)
▲ A Korean fishing boat of the type that smuggled many Koreans to Japan at the time of the Korean War and for some time after. Since Korea and Japan did not have diplomatic relations until years later, it was not possible to get passports or visas.
In Japan, the two of them could not speak the language, and as illegal immigrants they were unable even to be admitted to a hospital, so they gave birth in extremely harsh conditions. It is said that the young Oh Seung-taek cut the newborn baby’s umbilical cord with his own teeth and delivered the baby himself.
They spent all the little money they had brought with them, and no living expenses arrived from Sun Myung Moon. [He wrote letters to Kim Myung-hee while she was in Japan, but never sent any money.]
Exhausted from waiting, Oh Seung-taek, although he had promised when being sent illegally to Japan that he would not return to Korea until Sun Myung Moon called him back, crossed over illegally once again in order to return to Sun Myung Moon.
Suffering terribly in a place where they could not even communicate, the plan was for Oh to return to Korea first, speak directly to Sun Myung Moon, and obtain living expenses.
When Oh Seung-taek met Sun Myung Moon, explained their dire situation, and asked for living expenses, Sun Myung Moon rejected him outright with a single word.
Such a cruel story is something I have never heard before. Even an ordinary person would not treat someone in such circumstances this way.
All the more so because he was the one who called himself the “Returning Messiah,” and it was only natural that he should take responsibility, yet he calmly committed such a heartless betrayal. Enraged, Oh Seung-taek severed ties on the spot with Sun Myung Moon, whom he had until then believed in and revered as the Returning Messiah. In fact, at that time Sun Myung Moon said, “I don’t have that kind of money. You figure it out yourselves!”
I remember this well, because I was at Sun Myung Moon’s side when it happened.
At Sun Myung Moon’s words, Oh Seung-taek flew into a rage and shouted, “What are you saying? Remember this well! You are Satan!” With that, he stormed out of the room.
At the time Kim Myung-hee became pregnant, among the three students who had joined the church from Yonsei University, Oh Seung-taek heard the circumstances and was consulted. Believing that it was for the sake of Sun Myung Moon as the Messiah and for the Unification Church, he said, “I will take responsibility.” Without telling his Christian parents, he met Kim Myung-hee in Busan and, boarding a small fishing boat, illegally crossed over to Kyushu, Japan.
When the young Oh stormed out in anger, there were seven or eight people present, but although everyone inwardly thought it was an outrageous affair, no one could do anything.
I feel a pang of conscience about that incident. In Japan, a place whose east and west she did not even know, Kim Myung-hee waited solely for Oh Seung-taek to return with money. During those days of waiting and waiting, the suffering endured by Kim Myung-hee and her newborn baby (Moon Hee-jin) was truly severe.
A Korean man surnamed Hwang discovered Kim Myung-hee and her child at the Ōmura Detention Center in Japan and brought her back to Korea.
Kim Myung-hee, who had neither money nor a passport, is said to have been detained at the Ōmura Detention Center for as long as three months.
[The Ōmura Immigration Detention Center, near Nagasaki, was created in 1950. It housed Koreans awaiting deportation to South Korea under the terms of Japan’s Migration Control Law and Alien Registration Law. However, the detainees included refugees who had fled South Korea for political reasons, and other left-wingers who feared imprisonment or even execution if they were returned to South Korea under the Syngman Rhee regime.]
▲ Kim Myung-hee with Moon Hee-jin in 1959 or 60. They returned from Japan on October 2, 1959. (This is the only known photo of them together.)
Because Kim Myung-hee returned with the child, Sun Myung Moon had no choice but to register at least the child under his own family registry. The child’s name was “Moon Hee-jin.”
This child was being hidden and raised by the wife of a man surnamed Hwang. Hee-jin ended up dying in a rail accident on August 1, 1969.
During a middle school summer vacation, he went out on a street proselytizing activity following an older student. Because it was hot, when boarding a passenger carriage he held onto the handrail with both hands, leaned far back to catch the cool breeze, and as the train entered the station, his head struck station facilities and he died of concussion.
[In a testimony she gave in Korea, Kim Myung-hee said: He was “leaning out of the train”. He was “eager to get off when it arrived at the station” and “his head hit a track-side post”.]
[Another source has given the location as Maepo Station 매포역 in Chungcheongbuk province 충청북도. The name of the station has since changed from Maepo.]
▲ Moon Hee-jin with Eu Hyo-won.
Regarding this incident, was it not glorified by Sun Myung Moon who said that he went to the spirit world to mobilize young boys there? In addition to this, under the pretext of holding the “Marriage Supper of the Lamb,” a virgin named Choi Soon-wha was also “restored,” and she too was made to bear a child [Sam Park].
That child, according to reports, is being raised as the son of [Bo Hi Pak in the US].
Can such things be forgiven by God?

Another “Mother”
There is yet another incomprehensible matter and it concerns Won-pok Choi.
This woman happened to have an opportunity to meet me during the time of the “July 4 Incident,” when Sun Myung Moon was arrested and turmoil broke out in which professors resigned and graduating university students were expelled. She showed great concern for me at that time.
Saying, “I want to be of help too, but there is nothing I can do,” she expressed her regret.
She had already joined the Unification Church, quit her university professorship, and afterward abandoned her family and ran to Sun Myung Moon.
For some reason, the members were calling Won-pok Choi “Mother.” But where, in the Principle, does this so-called “Mother” appear?
The six Marys were supposed to be pikareum restored by Jesus, but because that was not accomplished, Jesus died. Therefore, under the pretext that the third Adam would come into this world and restore six married women as Marys, Sun Myung Moon had sexual relations with them and took both their bodies and their property.
Then he selected one virgin and held a wedding ceremony called the “Marriage Supper of the Lamb.” After that, Sun Myung Moon and his wife Hak Ja Han were to be called the “True Father” and the “True Mother.”
Even though there is already a True Mother, from where in the Principle was the theory extracted that produced the title “Mother Won-pok Choi”?
No matter how much I think about it, I cannot understand it.
Sun Myung Moon selected six Marys, and among them there is no reason to single out one person and have her called “Mother.”
It must simply be that she was a woman whom Sun Myung Moon himself favored and was passionately involved with, and so he merely gave her the title “Mother.”
It is an astonishing story.

No. 69 (June 25, 1991), page 72
Choi Won-pok gave this testimony at the Fukuoka Church, Japan, on December 5, 1990
“When I once said to Father, “I would like to have a spiritual experience myself,” he laughed and said,
“I don’t really let intellectual people have many of those. If they become intoxicated by them, they end up relying only on spiritual experiences and can’t do great work.”
So I thought I should give up, but I still felt somewhat lonely and kept wishing I could experience it at least once. Father seemed to understand this. He said, “Do you want to experience it just once?”
And then, that very night, I was immediately able to have such an experience.”
Up through the time of the 777 Couples Blessing, Mrs. Won-pok Choi was called the “Cain Mother,” and blessings were officiated by three people. In effect, the wife, Hak-ja Han, was forced to realize the overcoming of a triangular relationship.
However, in the end, it seems that jealousy could not be overcome. As evidence, Mr. Jun-ho Seok, the son of Mrs. Won-pok Choi (former President of the Korean Church), was dismissed immediately after Leader Moon passed away. Deep down, there must have been considerable resentment.
Meals, travel, and even sleeping arrangements were done by the three together: husband, wife, and concubine.
The polygamous state involving Won-pok Choi has not yet been written about. From around 1954 to about 1978, Sun Myung Moon was essentially in a de facto marriage with Won-pok Choi while also marrying other women. His marriage with Hak Ja Han (“True Mother”) was also, in effect, bigamous. After the fact, this was explained as being to obtain victory in Jacob’s course, which Rachel and Leah as Jacob’s wives had failed to achieve.
Post by a veteran member from the 777 couples:
“I cannot say for certain how long it continued, but I believe the beginning is beyond doubt. When Sun Myung Moon, Hak Ja Han and Mrs. Choi came to Japan during the world tour, those of us used to the plain, unadorned women of the church were startled to see a woman in bright red clothing, wearing lipstick, eye shadow, and earrings. When someone timidly asked why Mrs. Choi wore makeup, she replied casually, “If you have something, you use it. Moon enjoys it, so what’s wrong?”
She openly talked about having sex with Moon together with Hak Ja Han, which was shocking. At blessing ceremonies, she alone would take charge and declare, “This wine contains the semen of us, the True Parents (the three of us as a set).” Hak Ja Han would shrink back, doing as she was told, while Moon smiled and handed the wine to the women.
At the time, I argued with young Korean members about who Mrs. Choi really was, but they stubbornly insisted she was the “Cain Mother,” and the discussion went nowhere. Between Hak Ja Han and Won-pok Choi, there was an age difference and a difference in education, and Moon clearly treated Mrs. Choi as his wife in terms of status. I once heard Moon yelling, and when I asked what it was about, I was told it was another battle between the women, with Mrs. Choi having the upper hand. Apparently he had said, “Hak Ja, you just bear children.”
Frankly, between the intelligent Professor Choi and the naïve Hak Ja, there was no contest. Eventually, however, Mrs. Choi could not overcome aging. Moon’s sexual demands were said to be persistent, and as her physical strength declined and she entered menopause, she could no longer satisfy him. Hak Ja Han, meanwhile, grew more cunning, and it seems the struggle between the women eventually came to an end.”

“Since the calls for an encore won’t stop, I’ll finish with a concrete account from my own experience.
At the time of the 777 Blessing, the officiators were Teacher, Hak-ja Han, and Mrs. Won-pok Choi, three people. Those who have read my previous posts know this, but these three were regarded as one marital unit. They were also referred to as Rachel and Leah. We called them the Abel Mother and the Cain Mother. Naturally, they shared the same bedroom. The episode is described in my other posts.
Mrs. Won-pok Choi took the rhetorical lead during the blessing, saying, “This holy wine contains our semen.” The women were instructed to drink first and then give the remainder to the men. Hak-ja Han said nothing (or perhaps could not say anything), while Teacher smiled and handed the wine to the women.
Next, the women were told to each take one holy cloth, again handed out by Mrs. Won-pok Choi, who explained:
“This holy cloth is what we used to wipe our sexual organs. The stains on it are not dirt. They are signs of the holy work of the True Parents. You too should place this under your waists when you engage in sexual relations, and afterward carefully wipe yourselves with it.”
Everyone received them gratefully. When I looked closely, there were stains that appeared to be from wiping Teacher’s sexual organ.
It seems that receiving such precious items was limited to those blessed up through the 777.”

“So everyone in the 777 knew about this… Even a 777 wife close to me…”

“Exactly so.
At that time, the three of them shared a sexual life. When they first came to Japan, we felt a sense of incongruity because, unlike the bare-faced women of the church, she wore lipstick, makeup, earrings, and flashy clothing. During the world tour, when holy sites were designated around the world, the three shared the same bedroom throughout the trip. Hotel staff reportedly objected, saying they could not place three beds in one room.
Mrs. Won-pok Choi once said:
“Hak-ja Han was still young, so she would have sex with Teacher first, but she would become tired and fall asleep. After that, Teacher would have sex with me, and while doing so, he would say things like, ‘I really did something wrong to young Hak-ja,’ and so on.” That’s the kind of story I heard.”

❖ End of added information
Later it was said that Soon-ae Hong, the mother of Hak Ja Han, Sun Myung Moon’s wife, incited even children by saying, “Won-pok Choi who is in America is number two. She is a concubine,” and that, as an emergency damage-control measure, Won-pok Choi was sent back to Korea and made principal of Sunhwa Arts School.
This school had Pak No-hi, the younger brother of Pak Bo-hi, as chairman of the board, but I think that the title of principal was nothing more than window dressing, merely a pretext hastily attached by Sun Myung Moon in his embarrassment.
Outwardly, he puts forward the “Principle,” but once he turns his back, Sun Myung Moon’s words and actions are utterly unbecoming of a religious figure, and consistently remain that way. These include problems with women, illicit purchases of real estate, tax-evasion scandals, and teachings such as “even if you steal other people’s money [to give to me for the providence], God will forgive you.” There are so many such things that it is impossible to describe them all one by one.
I would like to record just one more of my own experiences here.
215
My shameful participation experience
In Chapter 3, I wrote that when Kim Soon-cheol pressured me to take a test about the history of the spirit world that she had created on Sun Myung Moon’s orders, I looked at the questions, wrote my answers, and was told, “That’s fine, you pass.” In fact, at that time, right before Sun Myung Moon’s eyes, I had been ordered to have sexual relations with Kim Soon-cheol, who was one of the six Marys.
I had already received restoration from one of the six Marys whom Sun Myung Moon had restored, so according to Sun Myung Moon’s Principle, I was [already] qualified.
To such a person, Sun Myung Moon urged me to do it with Kim Soon-cheol right there. Because one has no choice but to obey the Messiah’s command, I had sexual relations with Kim Soon-cheol on the spot and thus “passed.”
As mentioned earlier, Kim Soon-cheol, who had secretly taken a large amount of money from her home without her husband’s knowledge, was being chased by her enraged husband.
Therefore, sensing danger, Sun Myung Moon, together with Kim Soon-cheol, fled from place to place and spent five nights on the run before going to Busan, and even then the same thing was ordered.
Unaware of her husband’s anger, the two of them used the money that Kim Soon-cheol had brought to take a luxurious sightseeing trip through mountains and rivers. And every night, Sun Myung Moon told me to “watch” the two of them having sex and ordered me, “You do it too.” There was no religion there, and there was no Principle.
Was it not a frenzied sexual orgy possessed by demons, involving three men and women being toyed with by lust? At that time, I experienced to the point of utter disgust the true nature of the “restoration” that Sun Myung Moon spoke of.
And then, in a cramped room on a night in Yeongdo, Busan, as I lay sleeping beside him, Sun Myung Moon said to me, “You must not tell anyone, keep silent.”
If he was merely acting according to the Principle and calling himself the returning Messiah, why did he try to conceal it?
Looking back, there are many things I cannot understand, but how will such bizarre acts of restoration, disguised and carried out under the banner of the Principle, escape God’s judgment?

The red dragon (龍) who deceived the world
▲ Sun Myung Moon wearing a dragon tie in 1973. The hanja characters above are of his birth name, Moon Yong Myung. Yong = dragon. The central hanja character, as well as the meaning, resembles a dragon with the head upper left and the tail lower right.
Sun Myung Moon, who styled himself as the returning Messiah, learned that Principle from Kim Baek-mun, went to Pyongyang, caused shameless immoral activities, was arrested, received a prison sentence and served it, and afterward moved to Busan and then to Seoul.
In 1954, he founded the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity, and after sacrificing many people, the Unification Church gradually grew. It smuggled Choi Bong-choon (whose Japanese name was Nishigawa Masaru, aka Papasan Choi) into Japan and began overseas missionary activities.
Kim Sang-cheol (David SC Kim) and Kim Young-oon also carried out missionary work in the United States, and even there the members revere Sun Myung Moon as their father and believe him to be the returning Messiah.
[Choi Bong-choon moved to San Francisco in 1965, after being deported from Japan. There he was known as Sang Ik Papasan Choi and purchased the Boonville “Ideal City Ranch” property.]
However, today, amid the piled-up corpses of many women and men who have been sacrificed and killed by Sun Myung Moon’s actions that have nothing to do with the Principle, it seems as though cries of resentment can be heard.
And now, he wears a mask by putting naïve believers at the forefront – people who do not know the “secrets of his pikareum restoration practice” or the “shameful realities of its practice”.
[The public see the mass weddings held by the church and hear about family values. Those weddings bring in a lot of money for the Moon organization and the spectacle makes great PR. However, many second generation members have been now been married more than once, due to inappropriate matchings, or excessive cultural differences, etc. Some Korean men, with no belief in the church, have paid money to get a young woman (who has put herself forward with faith and sincerity) at a mass wedding. LINK
Since Sun Myung Moon died in 2012 the theology for the sex rituals has been taught in Original Divine Principle workshops. Sean Hyung Jin Moon and his brother Justin Kook Jin Moon have broadcast videos explaining the truth that Sun Myung Moon had many pikareum sex rituals, and that they were necessary to cleanse the world from original sin through sex relays. Those whose wombs had been cleansed should have sex with men to purify them. LINK]
Sun Myung Moon was imprisonment in an American jail. [He was jailed for document forgery and perjury (the more serious crimes) and tax evasion. American clergy and other leaders were mobilized to fight on his behalf, claiming that it was a religious freedom issue and that he had been unfairly persecuted. This support enabled] Moon to claim a glorious miracle. And even while he was incarcerated, he was spending enormous amounts of money. That money was precious money earned by many members at the risk of their lives.
Several years ago, a Japanese female member who was active in the United States went to a Black neighborhood to sell Korean ginseng tea, was gang-raped and killed. In that incident the perpetrators dragged the body onto the road and ran over it with a car several times to destroy evidence, but a Unification Church membership card was found in the victim’s pocket, and her identity was confirmed.
[Another Japanese member, Atsushi Funaki was beaten with a baseball bat by two young black men. The money he had fundraised from selling roses was robbed. They left him for dead on the pavement. This was in 1992 in East Philadelphia where he had been dropped off alone in a very dangerous area. His life support was switched off one week later. See note below.]
While spending like water the money that came in through such miserable sacrifices, Sun Myung Moon continues to claim himself to be the returning Messiah. In Japan as well, members are mobilized en masse to earn money through so-called spiritual sales (reikan shōhō) or by selling chocolate gum, enduring mockery from drunken people, and all that money is sent to Sun Myung Moon.
Using the money sent in this way as a pretext, Sun Myung Moon is devising an absurd plan. This is the “International Highway Construction Plan.” It is a proposal to build an international highway linking Japan, Korea, China, Russia, and Europe. It includes a long undersea tunnel between Japan and Korea.
Even within the Unification Church itself, there are voices of derisive laughter saying that it is “impossible to realize.” [Others say it is just a ruse to raise more money for the organization.]
The returning Messiah! Sun Myung Moon appears in this world and builds an international highway—what on earth does he think he is doing!
Before planning something like the construction of an international highway, he should first have become the True Parent through bloodline exchange (血代交換). Above all, the returning Messiah’s original task was to create a world without original sin and restore the Garden of Eden.
Sun Myung Moon has referred to himself as a “pastor” in American newspapers and the mass media. Sun Myung Moon never attended any seminary, nor was he ever ordained as a pastor. If he claims his qualification was obtained from a Unification Church-affiliated seminary, then there are a questions about that.
From the beginning, Sun Myung Moon has continuously said that he himself is the returning Messiah, the Third Adam, and that his mission is to create a sinless world restored to its original state through bloodline exchange.
If that is so, how can the returning Messiah transform himself into a pastor and thereby fulfill his mission!
Isn’t it the case that all his deception up to now is truly shocking. [But perhaps his greatest deception was hidden in his name.]
He also explains the reason why he changed his name after coming down from the North to the South. In the Bible, in Revelation 12:9, it is written that at the end times a red dragon appears and deceives the world.
Moon Yong-myung (文龍明), whose name contained the character “dragon” (龍), took notice of this and hastily changed his name to Sun Myung Moon. This amounts to an admission that he himself is the red dragon who is Satan.
yong = dragon
(Notice the head, body and tail. Shown here is an earlier variant of the hanja for dragon. This variant was also in use during Moon’s lifetime, and was used for his birth name.)
There are no falsehoods in this confession, written while laying bare my own shame before the whole world. I want to say that Sun Myung Moon is truly Satan.
In order to prevent many people in countries around the world from being further deceived or vitimized by this red dragon, Sun Myung Moon, I have resolved to publish this manuscript at the risk of my life.
I sincerely pray from the depths of my heart for the true judgment of God.

Note:
Atsushi Funaki: The police did not understand how the Unification Church could send a person with money to such a dangerous place on their own. The police said that they themselves only went to that area in pairs. They also wondered how a person with poor English could explain themselves to any attacker.
Atsushi was married, but had never lived together with his wife. He was attacked on May 10, 1992. The life support was switched off one week later on May 17th.
