The United Future Party (Korean: 미래통합당; Hanja: 未來統合黨; RR: Miraetonghapdang; lit. Future Unionist Party) is a conservative[5][6][7][8] political party in South Korea.

The party was formed on 17 February 2020 by the merger of the Liberty Korea Party, New Conservative Party and Onward for Future 4.0, as well as several minor parties and political organisations.[9] By the time of establishment, it contains 118 MPs in the National Assembly.[9] It has a sister relationship with the minor Future Korea Party.

History

Background

The political scandal in 2016 led President Park Geun-hye to be impeached, and several MPs quit from the then-ruling Saenuri Party to form the Bareun Party.[10] The Saenuri Party changed its name to the Liberty Korea Party (LKP),[11] but following the final impeachment of Park on 10 March 2017, it de jure lost its ruling party position.[12] After the Democratic presidential candidate Moon Jae-in was elected on 9 May,[13] it officially became the main opposition.

Though several Bareun MPs returned to the LKP, the LKP did not recover its support, losing ground in the 2018 local elections.[14] Its President, Hong Jun-pyo, immediately resigned in order to take responsibility for the serious defeat.[14] The Bareun Party, which had merged with the minor centrist People's Party to form the Bareunmirae Party, also faced a defeat at the local elections.[15]

Both conservative parties then held snap leadership elections. On 2 September 2018, the Bareunmirae Party elected Sohn Hak-kyu as its new President.[16] On 27 February 2019, the Liberty Korea Party elected former Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn as its new President.[17] Soon, Lee Un-ju, a Bareunmirae MP, quit her party[18] and was widely expected to join the LKP[19] but formed a new party named Onward for Future 4.0.[20] Other former Bareun MPs faced conflicts with its President Sohn also exited and founded the New Conservative Party.[21] As a "conservative union", the Liberty Korea Party, Onward for Future 4.0, and the New Conservative Party agreed to merge and establish a new party.[22]

The new party's name was initially set as the Grand Unified New Party (Korean: 대통합신당),[23] but soon changed to the current name.[24] Park Hyung-joon, who led the merger and refoundation, explained that the name shows both support for youths and political solidarity.[25]

Founding congress

On 17 February 2020, 3 conservative parties were finally merged and refounded as the United Future Party.[9] It soon elected Liberty Korea president Hwang Kyo-ahn as the new President.[26] Though much of the new party leadership resembles that of the LKP, Vice-Presidents Won Hee-ryong and Kim Yŏng-hwan are not from the LKP.[26]

The President of the Republic of Korea Moon Jae-in and the Democratic Party President Lee Hae-chan congratulated the new party's founding, but it was soon reported that the move was not welcomed by several members.[27] Some sources also reported that the party is planning to file a lawsuit against Moon.[28][29][30]

Yoo Seong-min, the former Bareunmirae president, did not attend the founding congress.[31] Yoo Young-ha, a pro-Park Geun-hye figure, exited the LKP before the formation of the new party.[32]
