Wu was suspended immediately after inauguration on charges of corruption and subsequently divorced Kuang so she could run for his post in her own right, as Taiwanese law forbid the appointment of spouses or other relatives as a magisterial deputy.

[3] Kuang presided over the eighth Festival of Austronesian Culture and the Taitung portion of the 2007 Wan-an exercise, an annual air-raid drill.

[8][9] Shortly after an investigation into her travels led by the Kuomintang's Evaluation and Discipline Committee began in August 2008,[10][11] Kuang met with the Taitung County Prosecutors' Office for questioning.

[23][24][25][26] In October, a month after the Taitung District Prosecutors Office stated that Kuang would not be indicted on corruption charges,[27] she announced that she would support Huang's magisterial candidacy.

[33] Kuang registered for the election before poll results were revealed, managing to win the Kuomintang's support because her opponent was deemed ineligible to contest the nomination.
