History

Since its creation in 2016, the constituency has been represented by Justice Party leader Sim Sang-jung. It is also the only regional single-member constituency represented by the Justice Party in the National Assembly.[2]

Goyang A is widely regarded as a progressive and liberal stronghold constituency, as the area has consistently elected members of center-left political parties except for the 2008 South Korean legislative election.[3]
