Politics of South Korea Political parties Elections

The People Party (Korean: 국민의당; Hanja: 國民의黨; RR: Gungminuidang) or Party of Nationals^{[note 1]} is a political party in South Korea. Its symbolic color is orange.^[9] The party was founded by Ahn Cheol-soo in February 2020, after leaving the Bareunmirae Party.^[10] It has the same name as the People Party, which was also founded by Ahn and existed from 2016 to 2018.

In the 2020 South Korean legislative election, the party won three representatives for the National Assembly.

Political positions[]

The party is the successor of the liberal People Party in 2018, but has become more economically liberal overall. People Party is described as a liberal^[11] and moderate-conservative party.^[12]

People Party has somewhat more moderate liberal social positions than the previous old People Party, but it is not free from social conservatism.^[13][14] Ahn Cheol-soo, a key figure of the party, has expressed a negative stance on Seoul's LGBT Pride parade event, called "kwieo-chukje" (Korean: 퀴어 축제; Hanja: 퀴어 祝祭; lit. Queer Festival) in Gwanghwamun, Seoul.^[15] However, PP does not consistently stress a social conservative stance because it wishes to present an image of "alternative politics," and to that end also criticises the conservative PPP in addition to the left-liberal DPK, which are the two "huge political parties" (Korean: 거대 양당; Hanja: 巨大兩黨). Ahn has criticised both Yoon Seok-youl of the PPP as well as Lee Jae-myung of the DPK for putting too much emphasis on men in their 20s and promoting misogyny.^[16]
