The Unification Church, commonly known as the Moon sect, was founded in South Korea in 1954 by Sun Myung Moon, who claimed to be the new messiah sent to complete Jesus Christ’s unfinished mission. The group’s theology is based on the “Divine Principle,” Moon’s reinterpretation of the Bible, which blends elements of Christianity, Korean nationalism, and mysticism. Central to its doctrine is the belief that the original sin was a sexual relationship between Eve and Lucifer, and that salvation comes through the restoration of pure families led by Moon, who was seen as a spiritual father figure.

The group is widely known for its mass wedding ceremonies, where Moon and his wife matched thousands of followers, often strangers, in symbolic acts of restoring humankind. The organization is highly structured and has faced criticism for psychological manipulation, financial exploitation, and pressuring members to sever ties with their families. Additionally, it has established a vast global network of businesses, media outlets (such as The Washington Times), and political connections, particularly among conservative circles.

Although some view it as a new religious movement, others classify it as a coercive sect due to the intense loyalty demanded, strict control mechanisms, and its cult-like devotion to its founder.
The Little Angels are supported financially by the Tongil Group, a South Korean business group associated with the Unification Church, through the Tongil Foundation.
