Dalseong (Korean: 달성군) is a constituency of the National Assembly of South Korea. The constituency consists of Dalseong County, Daegu. As of 2026, 210,129 eligible voters were registered in the constituency. The constituency was created in 1996 from the Dalseong–Goryeong constituency. Dalseong, like all other constituencies located in the Daegu–Gyeongbuk region is widely considered a stronghold for the conservative People Power Party. Accordingly, Dalseong has always elected members of conservative political parties to represent the constituency in the National Assembly. The constituency has been represented by floor leader of People Power Party Choo Kyung-ho since 2016. Former SsangYong Group CEO Kim Suk-won of the conservative New Korea Party was the first member to represent the constituency having won with 62.71% of the vote in the 1996 legislative election. However Kim resigned two years later in 1998 in order to return to the SsangYong Group as CEO. A by-election was held in 1998 between Park Geun-hye of the conservative Grand National Party and Eom Sam-tak of the centrist-liberal National Congress for New Politics, which saw Park win with 62.5% of the vote.
