History
The party was formed in 1997 as a merger of several old right-wing parties. It's opponents try to discredit it by linking it to old right-wing parties dating back to the dictatorships in the 1960s. Considering the dramatic changes in political climate that have taken place in South Korea since then these parties have been severely curtailed hence the formation of a new coalition. By all measures, the policies advocated by the Grand National Party reflect the views of right-wing and conservative Korean citizens. The Grand National Party currently enjoys nearly half of the support by the Korean public, ranging from business leaders and affluent youth to the elderly. Its support is low only in the Jeolla province, which has for nearly 50 years supported Kim Dae-jung, a well-known progressive politician born in that province who also served as President of South Korea (1997-2002). Kim Dae-jung (born December 3, 1925) is a South Korean politician. ...

Its opponents accuse the Grand National Party of bearing the legacy of the traditional ruling elite of South Korea, which supported the military regimes in the 1960s to 1980s. Some of the key politicians in this period came from the Gyeongsang-do. The makeup of the Grand National Party members at present is diverse in provincial origin and political thought. Former party head and 2007 presidential candidate Park Geun-hye is the daughter of former Dictator-President Park Chung-hee who ruled from 1963 to 1979. Although Representative Won Hee-ryeong and Hong Jun-pyo runs for the party primary as a reform candidate, and former Seoul mayor and Center-right presidential candidate Lee Myung-bak gains more support(about 40%) from the Korean public, these types of family connections are viewed by many as evidence of continued domination of the party by the old elite. Gyeongsang (Gyeongsang-do) was one of the eight provinces of Korea during the Joseon Dynasty. ...
