The Participation Party (Hangul: 국민참여당, Hanja: 國民參與黨, Abbreviation: 참여당) is a political party of South Korea. It was formed by many of the former members of the Uri Party after the death of former President Roh Moo-hyun. It has since attracted a large following on the internet. Rhyu Si-min was elected as Party Chairman on March 19, 2011. Since March 2011 it has 45,335 members.[1] For the April 27 by-elections, the People's Participation Party has cooperated with the Democratic Party to enter Lee Bong-su as the single opposition candidate for the Kimhae seat in the National Assembly.
