Democratic Independent Party (DIP; Korean: 민주독립당) was a centrist political party in both North and South Korea.[6][7] The party was established on 19 October 1947. Its initiators were An Jae-hong, Kim Byung-ro, Hong Myong-hui, Kim Ho, Pak Yong-hee, Yi Kuk-no and Kim Won-yong.[8] Hong became chairman of the party.[9]
The DIP opposed Syngman Rhee's single-candidate government and supported Kim Ku and Kim Kyu-sik's North-South negotiation position, but after the 1948 North-South Joint Conference, it split into pro-North and 'Yang Kim' factions, and after several mass defections from the party, it transformed into a minor pro-North party. It participated in elections in North Korea from 1948 until at least 1962.[10]
