The Liberty Korea Party (Korean: 자유한국당) was a conservative[3][4][5] political party in South Korea that was described variously as right-wing,[12][13] right-wing populist,[7] or far-right.[15] Until February 2017, it was known as the Saenuri Party (새누리당; lit. New Frontier Party), and before that as the Hannara Party (한나라당; also called Grand National Party; GNP) from 1997 to 2012, both of which are still colloquially used to refer to the party. The party formerly held a plurality of seats in the 20th Assembly before its ruling status was transferred to the Democratic Party of Korea on 27 December 2016, following the creation of the splinter Bareun Party by former Saenuri members who distanced themselves from President Park Geun-hye in the 2016 South Korean political scandal.
In February 2020, the Liberty Korea Party merged with Onward for Future 4.0 and the New Conservative Party, launching the United Future Party to contest the 2020 South Korean legislative election.

And anything would be an improvement on the nine-year rule (2008–2017) by Park's conservative Saenuri Party—characterized by anti-communist fear-mongering and neoliberal economic policies favoring the country's powerful family-controlled corporations.

Other party members are worried that the confluence of party rallies and demonstrations by the "Taegukgi brigade" in Gwanghwamun and other places is reinforcing the party's reputation as being on the far right. This impression was clinched by an incident in which party supporters waving Taekgukgi (Korean flags) and American flags encircled the National Assembly while the LKP was attempting to block fast-tracked legislation.
