Former Democratic Party Representative Choe Kang-wook delivered a speech in Seoul on Monday, following the final verdict on his case by the Supreme Court. The event, held for Rebuilding Korea Party members, was not related to the sexual misconduct case that led to Kang Mi-jung's departure from the party.

Meanwhile, at a news conference held at the National Assembly in Yeouido, western Seoul on the same day, Kang Mi-jung announced her departure from the Rebuilding Korea Party. She cited disagreements with the party's direction and leadership as her reasons for leaving.

Choe Kang-wook, who is the head of the Institute for Policy Innovation at the Rebuilding Korea Party, spoke during an event in Gochang County, North Jeolla, on Aug. 27.
