The People's Party of Korea (Template:Hangul, Hanja: 朝鮮人民) was a moderate left-wing political party created on November 12, 1945 by Lyuh Woon-Hyung.[1] The People's Party did not claim to exclusively represent a particular class; instead, it tried to represent the entire Korean people.[2] As the Soviet-US Committee failed in 1946, a faction within the People's Party called forty-eighters left the party and formed the Workers Party of South Korea (남조선로동당), in a coalition with Communist Party of South Korea (조선공산당) and New People's Party (신민당).[3] The People's Party dissolved soon thereafter, and Lyuh later formed the Socialist Labourer's Party (사회로동당).
