The New Conservative Party (Korean: 새로운보수당; Hanja: 새로운保守黨) was a South Korean conservative political party officially founded in 2020.

## History

[edit]

The New Conservative Party was originally formed as the Emergency Action for Change and Innovation (변화와 혁신을 위한 비상행동) on 30 September 2019.[4] The group, organized within the Bareunmirae Party, was made up of 15 lawmakers who were critical toward the leadership of Sohn Hak-kyu.[4] Yoo Seong-min, the former co-chairman of the Bareunmirae Party, was chosen as the organizational leader.[4]

On 4 December, the name was shortened to Change and Innovation (변화와 혁신), and then adopted the incumbent name on 12 December.[5][6] However, six lawmakers were dropped, mainly pro-Ahn Cheol-soo lawmakers,[7] since their head did not express a strong intention to join.[8] Some pro-Ahn lawmakers also criticized the organization's decision to use "Conservative" in its name, adding that it ignores centrism.[9]

On 5 January 2020, the New Conservative Party held an official formation convention.[10]

## Ideology

[edit]

The leader Ha Tae-keung said that the party seeks to be the "Youth conservative, moderate conservative, conservative overcomes the impeachment, fair conservative, and new and big conservative".[5] The party also seeks to deal with social issues i.e. unfairness, future reform, eco-friendly development, and polarization.[5]
