The Minjung Party (Hangul: 민중당; Hanja: 民衆黨; RR: Minjungdang; lit. People’s Party) is a political party of South Korea. The party was formed by the merger of the New People's Party and People's United Party on October 15th, 2017.
The party initially had two members in the National Assembly, both from Ulsan, but was reduced to one on December 22nd, when the supreme court convicted Yoon Jong-oe for breaking the campaign law.
The merger of New People's Party and People's United Party has been controversial, due to their status as a party that is largely a continuation of the dissolved Unified Progressive Party. The party was dissolved and prohibited in 2014 due to purported "anti-constitutional" activity by the Constitutional Court ruling. Conservative critics of the party argued that the party is merely an attempt to reestablish the Unified Progressive Party.
