The New Korea Party (신한국당, Shin Hanguk-dang) was founded by the merging of Roh Tae-woo's Democratic Justice Party, Kim Young Sam's Reunification Democratic Party and Kim Jong-pil's New Democratic Republican Party to form the Democratic Liberal Party (민주자유당, Minju Ja-yudang). It was renamed the New Korea Party (NKP) in 1995.[3]
In 1997, the NKP merged with the United Democratic Party to form the Grand National Party.
