The South Korean People's Front Preparation Committee was a left-wing organization in South Korea from 1976 to 1979.

Evaluation

The South Korean National Liberation Front - Preparation Committee was created by South Korean leftists to propagate socialist and communist ideas to the South Korean masses. The eventual goal of the South Korean National Liberation Front was to organize the South Korean people and wage a guerrilla war similar to that of the Viet Cong in South Vietnam, hoping to eventually create a socialist state and reunify with North Korea. The South Korean National Liberation Front was dissolved after many members were exposed and arrested by the South Korean military regime, including poet Kim Nam Ju. The National Liberation Front Incident is often compared to other instances where the South Korean state exposed or at least claimed to have exposed clandestine communist organizations, such as the Revolutionary Reunification Party incident and the People's Revolutionary Party incident.
