The New Progressive Party (Korean: 진보신당; Hanja: 進步新黨; RR: Jinbosindang; MR: Chinbosintang; NPP) was a political party in South Korea. The New Progressive Party was established by a number of Democratic Labor Party members (known as 'People's Democracy Faction') who left the party in reaction to the dominating Minjokhaebang factions.
