Hope Of Korea
Hope of Korea (, HoK) was a political party in South Korea. The Party focused on scientific politics, technocracy, and pragmatism. The party was established by Parliamentarian Yang Hyang-ja on 28 July 2023. On July 15, 2021, Yang was expelled from the Democratic Party for her handling of sexual misconduct in her office. A female employee of Yang's regional office in Gwangju complained of sexual harassment by Yang's cousin, who also worked there. Yang then inflicted second punishment by gaslighting the victim, ignoring the complaints, and denying the situation in interviews. The Party was expected to run in the 2024 South Korean legislative election. As of 20 July 2023, the Party still needed to complete the requirements to become a legal party under the rules of the National Elections Commission. The Party was officially registered to the National Election Commission with 1 member of parliament on 28 August 2023. On 24 January 2024, Yang merged her Party into Lee Jun-seok ...

Gaslighting
Gaslighting is a colloquialism, loosely defined as manipulating someone so as to make them question their own reality. The term derives from the title of the 1944 American film ''Gaslight'', which was based on the 1938 British theatre play ''Gas Light'' by Patrick Hamilton, though the term did not gain popular currency in English until the mid-2010s. The term may also be used to describe a person (a "gaslighter") who presents a false narrative to another group or person, thereby leading them to doubt their perceptions and become misled, disoriented or distressed. Often this is for the gaslighter's own benefit. Normally, this dynamic is possible only when the audience is vulnerable, such as in unequal power relationships, or fearful of the losses associated with challenging the false narrative. Etymology The term "gaslighting" derives from the title of the 1944 American film ''Gaslight'', in which a husband uses trickery to convince his wife that she is mentally unwell so he ca ...

Centrist Parties In Asia
Centrism is a political outlook or position involving acceptance or support of a balance of social equality and a degree of social hierarchy while opposing political changes that would result in a significant shift of society strongly to the left or the right. Both centre-left and centre-right politics involve a general association with centrism that is combined with leaning somewhat to their respective sides of the left–right political spectrum. Various political ideologies, such as Christian democracy, Pancasila, and certain forms of liberalism like social liberalism, can be classified as centrist, as can the Third Way, a modern political movement that attempts to reconcile right-wing and left-wing politics by advocating for a synthesis of centre-right economic platforms with centre-left social policies.

2023 Establishments In South Korea
3 (three) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 2 and preceding 4, and is the smallest odd prime number and the only prime preceding a square number. It has religious or cultural significance in many societies. Evolution of the Arabic digit The use of three lines to denote the number 3 occurred in many writing systems, including some (like Roman and Chinese numerals) that are still in use. That was also the original representation of 3 in the Brahmic (Indian) numerical notation, its earliest forms aligned vertically. However, during the Gupta Empire the sign was modified by the addition of a curve on each line. The Nāgarī script rotated the lines clockwise, so they appeared horizontally, and ended each line with a short downward stroke on the right. In cursive script, the three strokes were eventually connected to form a glyph resembling a with an additional stroke at the bottom: ३. The Indian digits spread to the Caliphate in the 9th ...

Open Democratic Party
The Open Democratic Party ( ko, 열린민주당) was a liberal political party in South Korea formed on 8 March 2020. The Party was absorbed back into the Democratic Party of Korea unconditionally on 14 January 2022. History On 28 February 2020, Chung Bong-ju, a former Democratic MP, announced his intention to form a new party. He had initially launched his bid to run for Seoul Gangseo 1st constituency for 2020 election under the Democratic banner but was disqualified by the party due to controversies including sexual harassment. He, however, declared not to run for the election. Lee Keun-shik, the then-leader of the group, harshly criticized the United Future Party (UFP) for establishing its satellite party, the Future Korea Party (FKP), in order to overcome the new electoral law granting proportional seats. He denounced the UFP's action as "immoral" while emphasising they will stop the UFP-FKP duo to win the election. Sohn Hye-won, an independent MP who had quit the Dem ...

Lee Jun-seok
Jun-seok Andy Lee (; born 31 March 1985) is a South Korean politician who served as party leader of the conservative People Power Party. Lee entered politics as a relatively young member of the Park Geun-hye presidential administration, during which he served as one of the 11-member Grand National Party’s (later renamed Saenuri Party) Executive Leadership Council, the youngest member ever to sit on the Council.

2024 South Korean Legislative Election
Legislative elections were held in South Korea on 10 April 2024. All 300 members of the National Assembly were elected, 254 from first-past-the-post constituencies and 46 from proportional party lists. The two largest parties, the liberal Democratic Party and the conservative People Power Party, once again set up satellite parties to take advantage of the electoral system. The election served as a "mid-term evaluation" for the Yoon Suk-yeol administration as it approaches its third year. Additionally, there was significant interest in whether the ruling party could surpass the constraints of the ruling coalition, which did not secure a majority in the previous general election, and gain the necessary momentum to govern effectively during the remainder of its term. The election saw opposition parties, primarily the Democratic Party of Korea, retain their majority in the National Assembly. The new legislators would have their first meeting on 30 May.

Realpolitik
''Realpolitik'' (; ) refers to enacting or engaging in diplomatic or political policies based primarily on considerations of given circumstances and factors, rather than strictly binding itself to explicit ideological notions or moral and ethical premises. In this respect, it shares aspects of its philosophical approach with those of realism and pragmatism. It is often simply referred to as pragmatism in politics, e.g. "pursuing pragmatic policies" or "realistic policies". While often used as a positive and neutral term, the term ''Realpolitik'' is sometimes also used pejoratively to imply political policies that are perceived as being coercive, amoral, or Machiavellian. Prominent proponents of ''Realpolitik'' during the 20th century include Henry Kissinger, George F. Kennan, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and Hans-Dietrich Genscher, as well as politicians such as Charles De Gaulle and Lee Kuan Yew.
