Return to politics

Sohn Hak-kyu, a former opposition leader, announces his decision to resume political activities during a news conference at the National Assembly, Thursday. He has been away from politics for two years since losing in a by-election in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province. Sohn said he will give up his membership with the main opposition Minjoo Party of Korea, and devote himself to “reshaping” the political sector. This raised speculation that he may join the minor opposition People’s Party to work with Rep. Ahn Cheol-soo. / Yonhap
