The party was originally established by
Woo Hee-jong and
Choi Bae-geun as
For the Citizens () on 2 March 2020, while condemning the
United Future Party for forming its own satellite party, the
Future Korea Party, in order to obtain compensatory seats after the passage of a new electoral law. It held its founding congress on 8 March and elected Woo and Choi as its co-Presidents. For the
upcoming general election, the party signed a cooperation agreement with the ruling
Democratic Party of Korea, as well as the other minor parties such as the
Basic Income Party,
Transition Korea,
Let's Go! — Environmental Party and the
Let's Go! — Party for Peace and Human Rights. The next day, it changed its name to the current one. Nearly 75% of members of the
Green Party Korea agreed to join the Democrat-led For the Citizens electoral alliance. However, they quickly left as soon as they joined. The Green Party left the electoral alliance after the Democratic Party's Secretary-General Yoon Ho-joong made sexist and
transphobic remarks about sexual minorities. Two of the five
National Assembly candidates for the Green Party Korea belong to the
LGBT Community. On 25 March, the Democratic Party confirmed that they would send 7 MPs to this party. Following the 2020 elections, a process was launched to merge or absorb the Platform Party back into the Democratic Party of Korea by 15 May 2020, as its original task of obtaining new compensatory proportional seats in the election was complete. On 13 May, the party declared its merge into the Democratic Party. == Ideology ==
