Hyung Jin Moon (born September 26, 1979), also known as Sean Moon, is an American pastor and, along with his wife Yeon Ah Lee Moon, founded the Pennsylvania-based World Peace and Unification Sanctuary Church (also known as Rod of Iron Ministries). The Sanctuary Church is a schismatic and militant sect of the Unification Church, which was founded by Hyung Jin Moon's father Reverend Sun Myung Moon and now led by his mother Hak Ja Han.[1][2][3][4]

The Southern Poverty Law Center called Hyung Jin Moon an "anti-LGBT cult leader" in January 2018.[5] Moon and some Sanctuary Church members helped to organize the 2021 United States Capitol attack.[6]
