Sun Myung Moon’s second wife was Kim Chong-hwa. Both were jailed for bigamy since both were already married.
The family of the late Sun Myung Moon (of the Unification Church) is ‘more corrupt than you can imagine’
Sunday Journal USA Vol. 878, April 25, 2013 (part 2)
Moon Sun Myung married his first wife, Miss Choi Seon-gil, on April 28, 1945. [She was 19 when she was first introduced to Mr Moon.] They had a son, Moon Sung-jin, who was born on April 9, 1946. It became known that Moon Sun Myung and Choi Seon-gil divorced on January 8, 1957, on the grounds of the so-called Unification Church pikareum doctrine (a ceremony to restore the blood lineage [through ritual sex]). ...
Mr. Moon’s second wife was Mrs. Kim Chong-hwa. At this time, after being accused by Kim’s husband Cheong Myeong-seon of being involved in a ceremony to restore the blood lineage [pikareum], Moon Sun Myung [and Kim Chong-hwa were arrested on] February 22, 1948 and he was sentenced to 5 years in prison. He carried out the sentence at prisons in Pyongyang, Daedong and Heungnam.

Kim Kyong-rae interviewed Mrs. Kim Chong-hwa in Seoul:
“The police of the North Korean puppet regime arrested Sun Myung Moon [in Pyongyang] on the charge of bigamy/sexual immorality. The reason was the husband of a certain Mrs Kim [金鍾和 Kim Chong-hwa] made an accusation to the police. The husband now lives in Seoul. At that time Moon said that he and Mrs Kim should marry because he had a revelation from God, although Moon still had a legal wife [Choi Seon-gil in Seoul]. When the police stepped in Moon was in the middle of doing this coerced marriage with the woman follower, Mrs Kim. The police arrested them. Mrs Kim was sentenced to ten months in prison. Moon was given a sentence of five years and six months. Mr Kim Kyong-rae interviewed this Mrs Kim in person and collected this information, and then wrote this report.”

Michael Breen:
“A few days after his arrival in Pyongyang, he [Moon] met Kim Chong-hwa and her husband, who lived nearby. She was the women’s group leader at the Somunae-pak Church, one of the largest Presbyterian churches in the city. She would become his main follower in north Korea. ‘A great preacher has come from Seoul,’ she told her husband’s cousin, Kim In-ju, also a Presbyterian…”
“In January, 1947, he [Moon] moved to the house of Kim Chong-hwa and her husband, Chong Myong-sun, who had become the leading members of his small group.”
“In Pyongyang, his followers did not keep in contact with each other. The only member who could have held the others together in Moon’s absence [in Heungnam prison] was Kim Chong-hwa, who had been sentenced to eighteen months in prison at the same time as Moon, but she had been unable to reconcile her faith in Moon with God’s apparent inability to prevent him from being sent to prison. She was released after one year, and was no longer interested in him or his followers.”

[Kim Chong-hwa is the only person who fits this description in Michael Breen’s book]
“There was a woman who was an important figure in the providence [in Pyongyang]. I visited her house for a year and a half and witnessed to her husband and all the other members of her family. The husband might have wanted to kill me, but he couldn’t do anything.”

Sun Myung Moon:
“…they decided to report me to the authorities. This is how I came to be jailed for a third time in my life. This occurred at 10:00 AM on February 22, 1948.”

Sun Myung Moon:
“While I was in prison [in Heungnam], Mrs. Kim was incarcerated. Mrs. Kim was in the position of Rachel. … Grandmother Pak was in the Leah position.”

Moon claimed to be restoring Jacob’s course. His words imply that he had relationships with both Mrs. Pak and Mrs. Kim Chong-hwa – who were in the positions of Jacob’s two wives.

Professor Kim Chong-Sun:
“After leaving prison, Moon resumed his activities and left his wife to marry his follower, Kim. He referred to this marriage as “God’s wish”. On February 22, 1948, the North Korean Police again arrested him on the grounds of bigamy and “social disorder”. He received a five year jail sentence in Heungnam prison. Moon had never legally divorced his first wife and although legally a bigamist, he viewed his blood-sharing [pikareum] activities as responses to the holy spirit.”
