The Green Party Korea is a political party in South Korea. The Green party was established on March, 2012. It is a continuation of the Korea Greens, created following initial discussions in 2011. The party was established in response to the Fukushima Nuclear Crisis of Japan. Green Party Korea is a member of the Global Greens and the Asia-Pacific Green Network. As a result of the party only getting 0.48% in the 19th national parliamentary election in April, 2012, the party was disbanded by the National Election Administration Office.
The Green Party Korea, together with the Basic Income Youth Network, began a two-week tour on July 6, 2015 to discover the opinions citizens in South Korea have about basic income, and to introduce the concept of basic income to the community.
