For reasons relating to South Korean Law, there are no communist parties in South Korea. Any political party in the south should not be colloquially called a communist party.
The People's Democracy Party of South Korea for example calls itself a progressive party that calls for pacifism, increased national autonomy from American interference, women's rights and liberation, and a more democratic government that better represents the hard-working citizens and agricultural specialists of South Korea.
So let us be respectful of the PDP and South Korea's laws by not calling any progressive party a communist party. Because that would be illegal.
It signs solidnet.org statements.
Those are all ML parties:
Worker's Party of Korea in the DPRK
Workers party of Bangladesh
Workers party of Belgium
Russian Communist WP
Workers party Ireland
