The Rebuilding Korea Party[3] (Korean조국혁신당; Hanja祖國革新黨; lit. Homeland Innovation Party)[4][5] is a South Korean political party founded by former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk ahead of the 2024 South Korean legislative election. The party opposes what it refers to as "prosecutorial dictatorship" and considers President Yoon Suk-yeol's administration complicit in maintaining it. The party aims to reform and depoliticize South Korea's Public Prosecutor's Office.[6] The name of the party can pronounced as 'Cho-kuk Hyuk-sin Dang' in Korean. The word 'Cho-kuk' refers to 'Motherland (Korea)', but also refers to the name of the party founder Cho Kuk.
