Hyo Jin Moon (1961-2008), the first son of the late Rev. Sun Myung Moon and Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, worked to create a culture of the heart of filial piety through music and culture.

Between 1988 and 1997, he composed and recorded 17 albums, and by 2002 he composed 10,000 songs of various genres which he had also performed and recorded. In 2003, he founded MCS Entertainment, and jointly invested in the movies Old Boy (2003) and Our School E.T. (2008). Between 2001 and 2007, he supervised the production of records for the group “Turtles.” He also worked in the United States. In 1986, he managed the Manhattan Center Studio (MCS), and in 2004 he managed the Internet TV broadcasting site definingmoment.tv.

Between 1985 and 1995, Hyo Jin Moon served as the first president of the World Collegiate Association for the Research of Principles (World CARP). From 1990, he produced about 10 documentaries, including “A Portrait of Jesus,” which analyzed the problems faced by religions, families and society, and sought to offer solutions to those problems.

The curtain opened on the festival with a chorus of “Sarang Arirang” by the Korean Scholars Children’s Choir. A praise team made up of university students then performed “Godcha,” followed by the trot singer Su-Bin Kang. Sun Moon University rock band “Rebirth” then performed two of Hyo Jin Moon’s songs: “We Know the Way to Go” and “The Beetle Song.”

A video displaying the vision and accomplishments of Hyo Jin Moon titled, “Multimedia and the World of the Culture of Heart,” was then shown.

The second half of the festival kicked off with a dance performance titled “Respect,” followed by “The Rebirth of the Eternal Flame” by graduate members of “Rebirth.” Contemporary jazz guitarist Shuji Hata then performed, followed by a performance by the original members of the “Hyo Jin Moon Band” from 2003 to 2007.

Hyo Jin Moon’s children then performed a song written by their father, which ignited enthusiastic applause.

The event was attended by Hyo Jin Moon’s widow and Women’s Federation for World Peace World President Yeon Ah Moon (42), Family Federation Korean President Kyeung-Seuk Ryu, Tongil Foundation Director Yun-Ki Choi and about 1,200 men and women of all ages.

“God is the basis upon which all of us were able to gather here together as brothers and sisters in one family,” said President Moon. “I hope that all of you can become filial sons and daughters who protect the roots of peace and remember the words of True Parents: that we need the culture of heart in order to transform the arts and culture that have an evil influence on today’s youth.”

“President Hyo Jin Moon is the oldest brother of the Unification Family,” shared President Ryu. “He embodied a deep love, and composed and wrote over 10,000 songs to show the accomplishments and course of Rev. and Dr. Moon, who dedicated their lives to peace, and with the wish of becoming the future generation of the Unification family. President Hyo Jin Moon’s music contains his life, his filial piety and the culture of heart. I hope that through this experience, all of you can become young leaders

united in the culture of heart who can propagate these achievements of peace.”…
