The Chinbak Yeondae, or formerly People's New Party for Reform (NP, Template:Lang-ko) is a political party in South Korea. Former chairman Lee Yong-Hwi tried to establish New Yeoongnam Party, but he decided to join the Freedom and Peace Party in January 2012. The Freedom and Peace Party changed its name to New Yeongnam and Freedom and Peace Party in January 2012. In March 2012, this party changed its name to The Hannara Party, but Saenuri Party argued that Hannara Party robbed Saenuri Party's older name (GNP - which was same in Korean name "한나라당") was confusing to the conservative voter. However, South Korean National Party Commission (중앙선관위) justified the name on legal grounds.[1]

The party gained only 0.85% of the total votes in the 2012 General Election(7th out of 20 parties), and thus failed to take a seat in the National Assembly. In South Korea, a party should gain at least 2% of the total vote to take a block seat. Due to having a similar name as the last party (number "20" in Korean alphabet order), the party gained 181,748 votes.

After the general election in April 2012, it was cancelled by the National Election Administration Office. Members of the party separated to two parties. Lee Yong-hwi made 'Hope! Hannara Party' and elected Lee Eun-young as the new chairman. 'Hope! Hannara party' changed its name to the new political party (새정치국민의당) in July 2013.
