This article from last week came as a surprise as I was expecting only to find the 2013 article linked below.All the best Sam!
Sept. 17, 2025: Amazon Prime Video To Explore Moonies Cult (https://deadline.com/2025/09/prime-video-the-moonies-married-to-the-cult-documentary-1236546550/) (Deadline)
Quote...which will uncover the darker side of a cult allegedly committed to world peace that was founded in South Korea by the charismatic Reverend Moon. The Moonies: Married to the Cult (working title) features access to insiders, including Moon's illegitimate son, Sam Park, speaking out for the first time about his experiences of mass weddings, sex ceremonies and not being acknowledged by the man he believes to be his father ...
Actually, not true that he's speaking for the first time, although this will be his largest audience. He spoke at a conference that I attended and delivered a presentation at: the 2014 International Cultic Studies Association (https://www.icsahome.com/) (ICSA) conference in Washington DC. Here's the handbook (https://infosecte.org/wp-content/uploads/2014-ICSA-Conference-Washington-DC.pdf), which includes a little trip down memory lane for me:

Thankfully, YouTube has Sammy's talk from the above conference, and I remember like most in the room, salt water welled in my eyes. Here is a transcript of his speech. (https://howwelldoyouknowyourmoon.tumblr.com/post/125456761968/sam-parks-2014-icsa-video-transcript)
And six months before the conference:
December 9, 2013 Meet the Love Child Rev. Sun Myung Moon Desperately Tried to Hide (https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/12/reverend-moon-unification-church-washington-times-secret-son/) (Mother Jones)
I don't really like the title of that piece, in particular the phrase "love child", as I really don't think Moon, as your typical cult leader, was capable of love, and he certainly showed none towards Sam.
And a few weeks earlier, the same journalist - Mariah Blake write an excellant piece for New Republic, granted it's been 12 year since I've read it:
