The People Party (PP; Korean: 국민의당, lit. 'Party of Nationals') was a political party in South Korea. The party was founded by Ahn Cheol-soo in February 2020, after leaving the Bareunmirae Party.[14] 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.
The People Party dissolved in April 2022 after merging with the conservative People Power Party.[2]

was invoked but never defined (see the help page).Minor parties won just 12 seats — six for Sim Sang-jeung's progressive Justice Party, three for Ahn Cheol-soo's revived and now center-right People's Party, and three for the splinter liberal Open Democratic Party.
Cooperative moves gained traction since the right-wing United Future Party, the largest opposition party with 103 lawmakers, and center-right People's Party with three lawmakers launched a joint study program called the People's Future Forum in early June, where party leaders and lawmakers share and discuss the future course of their policy directions.
