Many surveys showed that the Democrats would have more seats and votes, but the result was a victory for the Grand National Party, which won 133 of the 273 seats in the National Assembly. The United Liberal Democrats lost 2/3 of their seats, due to GNP's victory in Gyeongsangbuk-do, Gangwon-do (South Korea), and also fewer local votes in Chungcheong. However, the GNP did not receive a majority, so the 16th parliament became a Hung Parliament, and it was the only parliament in South Korean history — until the 2016 election — that the President's ruling party did not have a majority.
