The NPAD was founded on 26 March 2014 out of a merger between the Democratic Party and the preparatory committee of the New Political Vision Party (NPVP) led by Ahn Cheol-soo. The party changed its name to the Democratic Party of Korea on 28 December 2015. In 2022, the Democratic Party, the Open Democratic Party,[12] and New Wave[13] merged to form a big tent party.[14][15]
