The NPAD was founded on 26 March 2014 out of a merger between the Democratic Party and the preparatory committee of the New Political Vision Party (NPVP) led by Ahn Cheol-soo. The party changed its name to the Democratic Party of Korea on 28 December 2015. In 2022, the Democratic Party, the Open Democratic Party, and New Wave merged to form a big tent party.
