Moon and Helen Kim met

Sun Myung Moon and Ewha University president Helen Kim (Kim Hwal-lan) had met at least once:

Yonsei and Ewha were like Adam and Eve. These universities were centers of activity for second-generation Christians, both men and women, weren't they? Single men and women were meant to follow me. Young people, I wasn't meant to bring just anyone to save the world.

To climb over a mountain, you must conquer the summit. When you confront Satan, you must settle accounts and separate the blood lineage from Satan, put down new roots on new ground and go on. If this task had been accomplished within the nation, by no the leaf bearing branches from that tree would have expanded and covered the world.

Before meeting the nation's president I went to see the president of Ewha University, Kim Hwal-lan. Didn't she live alone? What I mean is that she was waiting for the Messiah. As for Yonsei University and Ewha University, the first cooperated with the Presbyterian Church and the second with the Methodist church. At that time, Ewha University was connected to President Syngman Rhee's wife through the vice-president of the university, Maria Park. Based on her relationship with Christian missionaries, at that time there was a foundation to be united with the government.

If we could have won over the Western missionaries, and if Kim Hwal-lan and Back Nak-joon could have united and fully accepted the Unification Church, everything would have been realized on earth. If that had come about, I could have reached across to America, with its Christian culture, at one stretch.

Kim Hwal-lan (Helen Kim) - 1899-1970; During her time as President of Ewha Women’s University she was personally involved in the expulsion of professors and students who believed in the teachings of the Unification Church. Kim was educated in the U.S., friendly with OSS agent Ed Hymoff, was once a collaborator with Japanese imperialists, and was close to Syngman Rhee. She is recognized as a feminist icon and yet she recruited and organized comfort women at Ewha Womans University.

An Elephant of a different color - The Nangnang Girls of Ewha University

http://howwelldoyouknowyourmoon.tumblr.com/post/155405684118/the-pink-elephant-in-sun-myung-moons

The above post from HWDYKYM has vividly summarized the sexual history of Sun Myung Moon.

Let's look at the photo again that begins the post and the caption below; ​Won-pok Choi, left, and Young-oon Kim, right, were enablers for Moon’s sex rituals. The students trusted the two professors at the prestigious Ewha Woman’s University in Seoul in 1955.

MY COMMENTS; It seems quite apparent that these two professors were very influential in encouraging many fine young ladies to have sex with Mr. Moon. However, was this the first time this prestigious womens university, was involved in a "sex scandal"? From this researchers standpoint, the answer is an unequivocal  "NO". The story of the "Nangnang Girls" is a sex scandal, that never really saw the light of day. And my guess is that Helen Kim made sure that it never would. For it was the former boss of Young-oon Kim & Won-pok Choi that was behind this mysterious sex "operation". So who are these Nangnang Girls, you are probably asking by now. I was lucky to find an essay some months ago written by a Ph.D. historian of Korean descent, who has done her homework in exposing this hidden history of Ewha University. So without further ado, let's read below some key excerpts from this professor's writings on Helen Kim, Ewha University and the Nangnang Girls. http://drum.lib.umd.edu/bitstream/handle/1903/4162/umi-umd-3959.pdf;sequence=1 THE CONSTRUCTION OF U.S. CAMPTOWN PROSTITUTION IN SOUTH KOREA: TRANS/FORMATION AND RESISTANCE By Na Young Lee, Ph.D., 2006 Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland Chapter 4: Consolidation of Kijich’on in Support of National Security and Economic Growth (the 1950s through the 1970s) 4.1. Warfare Efficiency and Control over Prostitutes: The Korean War (1950-1953) Pages 107-108 regulation of prostitutes was important not only because of concerns for soldiers’ health, but also to ensure national security during the war against communist North Korea. The Korean army commanders of the Martial Law Enforcement Headquarters in Seoul held a meeting in July 1952 to discuss “prostitution targeting U.N. soldiers (yanggongju).” It reached the conclusion that “women who are not Seoul citizens should move to the southern part of the Han River (Seoul area),” with regards to the “counterespionage policy” and the “anticrime measure” (Chosun Ilbo 16 June, 1952). Because the security threat, rather than only moral threat, was more serious threat to the nation, women who had sexual relationships with foreign soldiers became an object of suspicion as “communist spies” who might “release military secrets” (Dong-a Ilbo 11 April 1952; Chosun Ilbo 16 June, 1952). Surprisingly, however, the Korean government ran a female club for high-profile U.S. soldiers as well as officers and eventually to “pilfer U.S. military secrets,” which was called “Nangnang Club” (Yi I. 2003c, 110-14). Mo Yun Suk, who was a famous female poet and diplomat, originally organized the Nangnang Club before the war, and invigorated it at the start of 1951 under government direction.The major activity of these so-called “Nangnang girls” was to attend parties well dressed and to serve U.S. soldiers’ “needs.” Kim Hwallan, one of the most representative early Korean feminists and president of Ewha Womans University,actively mobilized female college students as Nangnang girls (ibid., 116-17). To Korean people, however, these college girls were viewed as yanggongju or comfort women (Seoul Sinmun 26 July, 1952; 10 October, 1953). MY COMMENTS; This researcher has determined that Young Oon Kim came back to Korea in February 1952. She had just finished a 6 month period traveling to Germany, Switzerland and England. Once she got back to Korea, she resumed her teaching position at Ewha University which was located in Pusan at the time due to the Korean War.   We also know that Sun Myung Moon was in Pusan at that exact same time. And he has told us in his own words, he received at least one visit from Ewha professors at his "Church on the Hill"...And he also tells us...that during the same time period, he worked on a U.S. Military Base...Here's the excerpt; http://www.tparents.org/Moon-Books/SunMyungMoon-Life/SunMyungMoon-Life-16.htm Sun Myung Moon in his own words Part 16: Refugee Life January 27, 1951 -- September 17, 1953 One day, people from a seminary came...some professors from Ewha University came to our place...While I was a refugee, I made a living as a carpenter for the U.S. Army for eight months. MY COMMENTS; Okay then...let's review what we know here so far...Helen Kim and her Ewha University are in Pusan in 1952...She has directed a certain number of her students to partake in an "Espionage Operation" on U.S. Bases in Pusan (under the cover of being Comfort Women)...Young-oon Kim & Won-bok Choi are top professors at this time and have the trust of these young women...Sun Myung Moon is most likely working at one of the U.S. Bases where the Nangnang Girls are performing their duties and espionage work...And Helen Kim...at some point...sends her professors to visit Sun Myung Moon in the privacy of his little home. Can someone please tell me what the heck is going on here? One thing we know for sure...the relationship between Sun Myung Moon, Helen Kim and her university is NOT, a relationship that started after the HSA-UWC got officially established on May 1, 1954...Every darn "account" about Ewha University in the Church Archives says that this part of history started in 1954...That is utter bull crap based on the research that I have put forth here. I would like to invite all of you...to join me in further examining...and hopefully dissecting...this all important time in UC history...so we can get to the bottom...of what really happened down there in Pusan. Mrs. Kang! Are you listening?!

Warfare Efficiency and Control over Prostitutes: The Korean War (1950-1953) p. 22

The Korean War provided the fertile soil for expansion of military prostitution…The Korean government virtually revived licensed prostitution…At the end of the war, there were approximately 20,000 “Western princesses (yanggongju)” in Seoul alone who catered to the Allied Forces.

Because of the anxiety that “brutal foreign soldiers might rape our sisters and daughters,” the Korean government established and ran “comfort stations” for U.N. soldiers. By 1957, the number of government-registered comfort stations reached seventy eight in Busan alone, and the number of non-registered brothels was several times that number…In addition, the South Korean army operated its own “military comfort system” during and after the Korean War, from 1951 to 1954. Meeting soldiers’ sexual needs was considered imperative to “inspire morale” and prevent “unsavory” acts (e.g. rape).

…regulation of prostitutes was important not only because of concerns for soldiers’ health, but also to ensure national security during the war against communist North Korea…Because the security threat, rather than only moral threat, was more serious threat to the nation, women who had sexual relationships with foreign soldiers became an object of suspicion as “communist spies” who might “release military secrets”. Surprisingly, however, the Korean government ran a female club for high-profile U.S. soldiers as well as officers and eventually to “pilfer U.S. military secrets,” which was called “Nangnang Club”.
