The Minjoo Party of Korea (Hangul: 더불어민주당;hanja: 더불어民主黨;RR: Deobureo Minjudang; lit. Together Democratic Party; short form 더민주, Deominju, "Minjoo"), formerly the New Politics Alliance for Democracy (NPAD), is a social liberal political party in South Korea. It was founded on 26 March 2014 as a merger of the Democratic Party and the preparatory committee of the New Political Vision Party (NPVP). The former Democratic Party was legally absorbed into the NPAD after the latter's creation, while the preparatory committee of the NPVP was dissolved, with members who supported the merger joining the NPAD individually.
