Defunct The National Association (Korean: 국민회; Hanja: 國民會) was a political party in South Korea.
Syngman Rhee established the Central Committee for the Rapid Realisation of Korean Independence in October 1945, shortly after he had returned from exile.
[3] The Communist Party faction later withdrew its support, but the others involved formed the Central Council for the Rapid Realization of Korean Independence [ko] (CCRRKI) on 8 February 1946.
The new party opposed the proposed trusteeship, but when Rhee called for separate elections to be held in South Korea, President Kim Ku and others left the party.
However, the National Association remained extant until the end of his presidency in 1960.
