history
The first Korean Communist Party was founded in Shanghai in 1921 by radical students led by Yi Tong Hui and was initially part of the so-called Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea . However, it then broke apart. At a secret meeting in Keijō on April 17, 1925, a new communist party was founded under the leaders Kim Yong-bom ( 김영 봄 ) and Pak Hon-yong ( 박헌영 ). Shortly thereafter, the Public Security Act banned this party (like any other communist) party.
When the peninsula was divided up between the Russian and American governments after the end of World War II in August 1945 , the office of the Communist Party and many of its supporters were in the American-occupied part of the country. On October 13, 1945, the party's office was established in Pyongyang in the Soviet-occupied part of the country, but it operates independently from the office in Seoul.
As a result of the split, the party in the south was renamed the Communist Party of South Korea under the leadership of Pak Hon Yong in 1945 . During this time, other communist parties were formed, such as the Minju-dang ( 민주당 , Democratic Party) in November 1945 and the Sinmin-dang ( 신민당 , New People's Party) on February 16, 1946.
On July 29, 1946, the Northern Communist Party, the Democratic Party and the New People's Party from the South, as well as the Young Friends 'Party, a more religious sect, agreed to unite into the Workers' Party of Korea , which subsequently became one joint meeting from August 28th to 30th was then carried out. The same unification took place in the south of the country, independently of the Communist Party in Seoul.
Since the US military government in the south of the country supported the right-wing political spectrum and prevented activities of the left and communist parties, many left and communists moved to the north of the country. The one-sidedly narrowed political spectrum resulted in a bipolar party system in which the left wing was underrepresented.
It is not known exactly when the Joseon Gongsan Party of South Korea dissolved, but it is likely after the other communist parties merged in 1946.
