The Liberty Unification Party (Korean: 자유통일당) was a conservative political party in South Korea.

History[]

The party was originally formed as the Korea Party (Proportional) (Korean: 비례한국당) by , who exited from the United Korea Party (now as the New National Participation Party).[1] It soon changed the name to Party for National Revolution (Korean: 국민혁명당) after the National Election Commission did not allow all political parties from using the term "(Proportional)" to their names.[2][3]

On 29 January 2020, Kim Moon-soo, the former Governor of Gyeonggi, quitted from the Liberty Korea Party and joined this party.[4] 2 days later, the party was officially formed and elected Kim as its President.[5] Jeon Kwang-hoon, a pastor, did not officially join but showed his intention to be allied with the party.[5]

, the President of the Christian Liberal Party, showed his intention to form an electoral alliance with this party.[6]

On 20 February, the party agreed to be merged with the Our Republican Party before the election.[7]
