The Yeollin Uri Party (Korean: 열린우리당; Hanja: 열린우리黨; RR: Yeollinuridang; MR: Yŏllinuridang; lit. Our Open Party), generally abbreviated to Uri Party (Korean: 우리당; Hanja: 우리黨; RR: Uridang; lit. Our Party), was the ruling social-liberal political party in South Korea from 2003–2007. It had a liberal political ideology in order to support then President Roh Moo-hyun. Chung Sye Kyun was the last leader of the party and twice served as its chairman. In 2007 the party merged the United New Democratic Party to form the Democratic Party. The current-day descendant of the party is the Democratic Party of Korea, but progressives in the party have become members of the Justice Party.
