Han Sang-gyun, head of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU), exited Jogye Temple's halls, around 10:30 a.m., Thursday.
Han came out of the temple with the Ven. Dobeop 24 days after he took refuge there, through a path created for him by a human barricade of some 200 Buddhist followers.
Han is set to host a press conference after speaking with the Ven. Jaseung, leader of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism.
