Republican Party (Korea) (1948: The New Korea)

The Republican Party was a nationalist and hard right conservative political party in the Republic of Korea. The party was founded by Park Chung-hee, along with many other military figures and generals.

The Republican Party was hugely antagonstic towards the Worker's Party, and it was many times accused for funding anti-communist terror in Korea. The party also represented the hard right wing of the Korean military, many of whom did often not follow the orders of the Worker's Party government.

Even with these tensions, the Republican Party did not try to seize power in Korea. The party became a supporting party of the Liberal Party government in the aftermath of the 1968 election.
