Earlier, the Justice Party had been using the name 'Democratic Labor Party' temporarily before the June 3rd presidential election. This was in accordance with an agreement for joint response with the 'Social Transition Coalition,' which the Justice Party formed alongside the Labor Party, Green Party Korea, and some unions of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU).

The Justice Party aims to continue the trend of coalitions within the progressive camp that formed out of this election into next year's local elections.

Kwon Young-guk, the leader of the Justice Party, said at the party convention on that day, "We must overcome the limitations in the presidential election and carry forward and develop our achievements to make the local elections a signal for the revival and reconstruction of progressive politics."
