The Citizens Unity Party () was a South Korean political party within the democratic camp, formed primarily by figures from liberal civic groups and pro-Roh Moo-hyun factions. It was established with the aim of merging with the Democratic Party to create a new party.
Party Founding Convention Breaking away from the practice of holding party-founding conventions in conventional gymnasiums, the convention was held at Platoon Kunsthalle, a multicultural space located in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam District, Seoul.
Grand Integration of the Opposition Bloc After the Democratic Party resolved to merge on 11 December 2011, the Federation of Korean Trade Unions (FKTU) and the Citizens Unity Party agreed to complete the merger by the 18th.
