The Liberal Unification Party, also translated as the Liberty Unification Party (Korean: 자유통일당; Hanja: 自由統一黨), is a far-right,[2] evangelical[3] political party in South Korea established in 2016. Representatives of a range of Christian organizations, including the evangelical Christian Council of Korea and the Communion of Churches in Korea, attended the party's founding convention.[4]
The party has changed its name multiple times. The party was founded in 2016 as the Christian Liberty Party (Korean: 기독자유당), and later added "unification" to its name in 2020, renaming to Christian Liberty Unification Party (Korean: 기독자유통일당; Hanja: 基督自由統一黨; RR: Gidokjayutongildang). In 2021, the party took on the name National Revolutionary Party. In 2022, the party came to its current name, Liberty Unification Party.
