The
New People's Party of Korea was a communist party in
Korea. It was formed on 16 February 1946 by Korean Communists who had been exiled in
China, later known as the
Yan'an faction. The New People's Party had more moderate positions in some issues compared with the
Communist Party of Korea, therefore it was rather popular with a wide range of Korean people. The leader of the party was
Kim Tu-bong.
