The Unified Progressive Party (UPP) is a left-leaning political party in South Korea. It was founded on 5 December 2011 as a merger of the Democratic Labor Party, the People's Participation Party of Rhyu Si-min, and a faction of the New Progressive Party.[2][5] It is jointly chaired by Rhyu Si-min, Lee Jung-hee, and Sim Sang-jeong[6][4]
The UPP has proposed an alliance with the major liberal Democratic United Party (DUP), which the DUP has rejected.[4]
