The Rebuilding Korea Party (RKP; Hangul: 조국혁신당; Hanja: 祖國革新黨, lit. 'Homeland Innovation Party')[3][4] is a South Korean political party founded by former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk for the 2024 South Korean legislative election. The name of the party can be pronounced as 'Cho-kuk Hyuk-sin Dang' in Korean.
The word 'Cho-kuk' means 'Motherland (Korea)', could also mean the name of the party founder Cho Kuk.
Cho Kok resigned as party leader in December 2024 after the Supreme Court decision to support his two-year prison sentence.[5][6]
