Looks as if that aluminum volk took a good hit as well as the impact....I see you have a rear sway bar. When that was installed, the rear lower control arm was loosend on one side as the direction call for..maybe wasnt as tight and allow for the alignment shift.....but the rim took a good smack. So it took most of your damage. Also check the shock on the side that was impacted. Remove and inspect for straightness where it mounts on both ends. Try to compress shock and see if it is still a shock absorber and not blown.
Also check where the top of the a-arms connect to the chassis in the rear (2 bolts). This is a weak area on the evo. Brushes with curbs have been known to push or pull these contact areas of alignment off.

I just came back from the shop and we couldn't align the rear wheel but it's better than before. Will post alignment before and after tonight. I'm getting really worry the car main body got damage and will affect the car handling even after fixing it.

The funny thing, people around me said if I didn't get strong rims as the Volk Racing, I could avoid that problem . If there is a next time, I will put weaker rims

Thanks all for infos
