Sutaek-ri, Guri, complex demolished for profit. Sun Myung Moon discarded the woman who donated the land.

by Kim Myung-hi (male, 430 couple)

“Leader Moon was donated the land in Sutaek-ri, Guri-eup, Yangju-gun, Gyeonggi-do, and the building in Myeong-dong, by a widow in the congregation named Lee Shin-sil, and Leader Moon was donated the X middle and high school, which was also run by this woman.

▲ The old Central Training Center at Sutaek-ri, Guri, built on the donated land.

But what is the current situation of this important woman today? Her usefulness has now ended in Moon’s eyes. It is said that this woman only receives some living assistance from the Unification Church Foundation. This woman is said to now be a completely back-room guest.

Most of the wealth created by the congregation’s hard work is being controlled by Leader Moon’s clan members [Moon relatives]. Only a few of the top executives are living in clover, while other executives and believers’ loud complaints of not being chosen are reaching the sky. It will only happen sooner or later that their discontent will explode.

Once it shakes up, it [the organization] will surely all fall like Jericho.”

Prior to the ginseng factory, there was a gun factory on the site.

Unification Church leader, Pak Bo Hi, was detained on fraud charges in 2004

Pak Bo-hi, 74, allegedly the second-ranking official of the Unification Church, has been arrested and detained by prosecutors in Seoul on charges of fraud. The church was founded by Rev. Moon Sun Myung, a controversial religious figure who has called himself the “son of God.”

Mr. Pak allegedly received 2 billion won ($1.7 million) from a real estate developer in December [2003] after promising the developer the rights to build an apartment complex on land in [Sutaek-ri], Guri, Gyeonggi province, owned by Ilhwa Corp., a food processing company owned by the church. The sum was a down payment for the sale of the land, prosecutors said.

Mr. Pak failed to make good on the promise, although the circumstances surrounding the contract are not fully known. Mr. Pak returned only 1.3 billion won to the developer.

A Unification Church official told the JoongAng Ilbo that Mr. Pak was no longer an official of the church, and is only a lay member. He said Mr. Pak had not asked the church to pay back any of the funds that had been given to the developer. It was not clear whether Mr. Pak had any church sanction for the contract.

Mr. Pak was the key official in arranging for Rev. Moon to meet the late North Korean dictator, Kim Il Sung, in Pyeongyang. He founded the Washington Times, a church-owned daily newspaper in Washington, D.C. in 1982; he was also the publisher and president of the Segye Ilbo, a Seoul daily, from 1991 to 1993.
