The Korean Social Democratic Party is a political party in North Korea, one of three legally permitted to exist, and allied with the ruling Workers' Party of Korea. Initially a moderate social democratic party, it was formed on November 3, 1945 by medium and small entrepreneurs, merchants, handicraftsmen, petty bourgeoisie, and some peasants. However, the party's ideology was shed over the years in favor of alliance with the Workers' Party of Korea, and today it differs only in name. Before 1980s, the party was called Democratic Party of Korea[citation needed].
The party is currently headed by Kim Yong Dae, whose title is chairman of the Central Committee of the Korean Social Democratic Party.[1]
