Hyo Jin Moon was a Korean musician, a media entrepreneur, a young global peace activist, and a faithful devotee who had an exemplary heart of filial piety toward God, the Parent of humankind. In 1988, he released his first album Jaeseng(Rebirth) and during the short forty-five years of his life, he left behind fifteen full-length albums and two extended-play albums, which contain songs that he personally wrote and composed or arranged. His passionate songs were about having a heart of filial piety toward his father and mother, Rev. Sun Myung Moon and Mrs. Hak Ja Han, who devoted themselves to God.

He also sent a strong message to the public of the importance of true families and the irrationality of society through straightforward lyrics and spoken expressions. Especially between the years 2000 and 2002, Hyo Jin Moon set a goal to write more than ten thousand songs. His spirit was on fire, writing, composing, playing, and recording day and night, and showed an amazing volition as a singer. In 1986, Hyo Jin Moon as a media entrepreneur established the Manhattan Center Studios. There he provided music for the Korean movie Old Boy(2003) and did production work for Our School’s E.T. (2008), as well as produced the albums for singer Jin Young Cha and the Korean hip hop group Turtles. The Studios also produced more than 20 documentaries including the Portrait of Jesus. The Manhattan Center Studios was also home to educational programs that analyzed the cause and presented solutions to religious, family, and social issues. Hyo Jin Moon was the first president of the World Collegiate Association for the Research of Principles (W-CARP) from 1982 to 1995 and led the youth movement at the front lines to end the Cold War and realize world peace.
