Rev. Moon’s son greets mourners in North Korea


PYONGYANG, North Korea — The youngest son of the late Rev. Sun Myung Moon arrived in North Korea on Friday to receive mourners for the founder of the Unification Church, who died at age 92 earlier this week.
The elder Moon was born in a village in what is now North Korea. He was a supporter of peace with North Korea and his church has several businesses, including a hotel and an automaker, in the North Korean capital. He died Monday near his home in South Korea, two weeks after being hospitalized with pneumonia.
Jang Song Thaek, vice chairman of the National Defense Commission and uncle of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, was among North Korean officials who paid their respects to Moon’s youngest son, the Rev. Hyung-jin Moon, in Pyongyang.
