In 2000, the party officially founded, after it merged of National Congress for New Politics and New People Party led by Lee In-je and a number of conservative minded politicians joined it. In the 2000 Parliamentary election the party came second winning 115 seats.

Roh Moo-hyun was elected as president in 2002, but he subsequently left the party after he inaugurated as president and his supporters formed the Uri Party in 2003.

The MDP lost majority when Roh was impeached in March 2004 by the National Assembly for illegal electioneering and incompetence charges with support from the Grand National Party, losing 53 seats to a total of only 9 seats in the 2004 parliamentary election. Roh Moo-hyun was later re-instated by the Constitutional Court, and served as president until the end of his term.

By June 2007, much of the party joined the Uri Party, while the New People faction merged the party with the Central Reform United New Party to form a new Democratic Party.

Political position

The Democratic Party is a political party led by Kim Dae-jung individual charisma and is generally classified as "liberalism" (Шаблон:Korean) or "conservative liberalism" (Шаблон:Korean).[1][2][3] Later in 2017, South Korea's centre-right conservative politician Ha Tae-keung said of Kim Dae-jung, "He devoted his life to democracy and the market economy in Korea", adding, "He is a big adult in the conservative camp".[4]

South Korean centrist conservative-liberal politician Sohn Hak-kyu said "the (Democratic Party of Korea's) DJ period was a complete 'centrist', but the Roh Moo-hyun government and the Moon Jae-in government were on the 'left-leaning' side". (For your information, "DJ" is an abbreviation for "Dae-jung".)[5]

Kim Dae-jung and the Democratic Party enacted the 'Domestic Violence Prevention Act' (Шаблон:Korean) and the 'Anti Male and Female Discrimination Act' (Шаблон:Korean), and established the 'Ministry of Gender Equality" (Шаблон:Korean). Also, Kim Dae-jung himself was a feminist.[6] On the other hand, he pursued a typical conservative economic agenda and was called a "Neoliberal Revolutionist" (Шаблон:Korean).[7]
