Dong-sook nim with the Moon Family

▲ This appears to be Moon holding Ye-jin nim at her 100 day ceremony in 1961 at the Chongpadong Church in Seoul. Dong-sook nim is sitting on the floor next to Won-pok Choi. She is about 6 years old.

Dong-sook nim was born on March 7, 1955 (solar date). She was presumed to be the daughter of Dal-ok Chong (who was the wife of Won-pil Kim).

It is said that Moon told Won-pil Kim to marry Dal-ok Chong. No marriage date or wedding photographs have ever been found for Won-pil Kim and Dal-ok Chong from 1954.

It has been reported in Korea that Moon was the father of Dong-sook nim.

Won-pok Choi was also involved in her care.

Who would have the correct lineage to be blessed with Moon’s eldest son?

Sung-jin nim’s mother was Seon-gil Choi. (They were abandoned by Moon in 1946, when Sung-jin nim was about 3 months old. Moon left suddenly and went to Pyongyang in North Korea. Moon did not see his son and Seon-gil Choi for at least five years until they met again in Busan. They had to fend for themselves during very difficult times.)

Dong-sook nim was married to Sung-jin nim on July 18, 1973 at the Shoto Headquarters in Shibuya, Tokyo.

Was it too risky for Moon to hold the wedding in Korea? Too many people there knew that he was the father of Sung-jin nim, and probably the father of Dong-sook nim.

Dong-sook nim was one of the privileged ones, a True Child, who visited Moon in August 2012 when he was in hospital in Seoul.

Dr. Joon Ho Seuk (at the time the International Vice President of the Unification Church) made this announcement on August 17, 2012: “Currently, True Mother and the True Children (Hyung-jin nim’s family, Kook-jin nim’s family, Hyo-jin nim’s family, Heung-jin nim’s family, In-jin nim’s family, Kwon-jin nim’s family, Sun-jin nim’s family, Ye- jin nim, Eun-jin nim, Yeon-jin nim, Jeong-jin nim, Dong-sook nim and Shin-mi nim’s family) are by True Father’s side offering prayer and jeongseong.”

▲ Moon, Dong-sook-nim and Dal-ok Chong, who does not look as if she is the mother of Dong-sook. There is a definite family resemblance between Moon and Dong-sook nim.

It has been reported that Dong-sook nim’s mother died before 1960. The circumstances of her death are not known. If the mother did die then, that means Dal-ok Chong cannot be her mother because she lived until 2000.
