Especially between the years 2000 and 2002, Hyo Jin Moon set a goal to write more than ten thousand songs.

Read More What is Hyo Jeong Culture? Hyo Jeong is a Korean word combining two ideas: "hyo" - Filial and "jeong" - heart. “Hyo Jeong” in Korea is used to describe filial heart. Combined "hyojeong" means "Culture of Filial Piety", or creating a culture of heart. This heart delivered through the arts, has the power to revolutionize the culture. This term is a Unificationist school of thought. Support Hyo Jeong Culture “He demonstrated filial piety not only through words. Hyo Jin thought that manpower and time were needed in order for [the Divine Principle] to be accepted. He also thought a lot about effective ways to reach people all at once, like a whirlwind. That is how he decided, “I have to change people’s minds through music and guide them to the church in this manner.” After making this decision, he wrote thousands of songs in just three years. This is impossible with human power alone. We all have physical limits. As you know, we must replenish ourselves when investing so much energy in this manner. I remember the words he said. According to him, thoughts coming into our head usually change based on the situation. However, what is experienced through the heart goes for eternity. So he would say that though witnessing through the Principle is important, for him however, he would try to first move people’s hearts and then guide them to accept the word. That is the kind of effort my son invested.” - Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon vvme& ume Sky Room Madame Tussauds t,;,'\ Hot, is-.1,s,,, NewYork T -5> is-_,l't The To BP ~ ~,!} Q Element New York The Knickerbocker ~ nmes Square West Times Square-42 Street :on w is-.,$, W 42 S1 ,ay 0-5> Double Tree by Hilton l"\ Hotel New York ..
