Sun Myung Moon was a South Korean religious leader best known as the founder of the Unification Church. He was also known as a media mogul and activist. The church has five to seven million members worldwide and often garners media attention for the blessing ceremony, a mass wedding or marriage rededication ceremony (usually presided over by Moon and his wife Hak Ja Han) which sometimes features thousands of participants. The church's portfolio of global interests has become a multi-billion-dollar empire. Three of Moon's NGOs, Universal Peace Federation, Women's Federation for World Peace and Service for Peace, are in consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council.
