Eunpyeong A (Korean: 은평구 갑) is a constituency of the National Assembly of South Korea. The constituency consists of parts of Eunpyeong District, Seoul. As of 2024, 219,044 eligible voters were registered in the constituency. The constituency was created in 1988 from the Seodaemun–Eunpyeong constituency.

History[edit]

Since its establishment, Eunpyeong A has elected members of the Democratic Party and predecessor parties in all but two elections and is thus regarded as a stronghold for the Democratic Party.[1][2][3]

Oh Yu-bang of the right-wing Democratic Justice Party was the first member to represent the constituency, narrowly defeating Cho Dong-hoe of the Peace Democratic Party.[4] Oh was succeeded by Son Sae-il of the centrist-liberal Democratic Party after losing re-election in the 1992 election.[5] Son won re-election in 1996, defeating Kang In-sop of the centre-right Grand National Party.[6] Son was defeated by Kang In-sop in the following election by a margin of around 5,000 votes, marking the last time a conservative party candidate won in Eunpyeong A.[7] In the 2004 election, Lee Mi-kyung of the liberal Uri Party won the seat, securing 51.79% of the vote.[8] Lee won re-election in 2008 and 2012, receiving 45.82 and 49.05% of the vote respectively.[9][10]

Ahead of the 2016 South Korean legislative election, the Democratic Party then led by Kim Chong-in, did not re-nominate incumbent Lee Mi-kyung for the Eunpyeong A constituency.[11][12] The party instead nominated lawyer Park Joo-min as its candidate on March 20, 2016.[13][14] Park went on to win the general election with 54.93% of the vote, defeating opponents Choi Hong-jae and Choi Sang-hyeon of the Saenuri Party and Labor Party respectively.[15][16] Park won re-election in a landslide in 2020, securing 64.29% of the vote and defeating United Future Party opponent Hong In-jung.[17] The 2024 election saw rematch between incumbent Park Joo-min and Hong In-jung; Park won re-election with 60.78% of the vote.[18][19]
