Reform Party (South Korea)

The Reform Party (RP; Korean: 개혁신당) is a South Korean political party led by Lee Jun-seok, the former leader of the People Power Party (PPP). Founded by Lee Jun-seok as a conservative party after his split from the PPP, it has subsequently merged with various parties and factions led by politicians formerly affiliated with the Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) and Justice Party, though the party is still regarded as politically conservative and on the right of the political spectrum.
