Huh Kyung-young (Korean: 허경영, Hanja: 許京寧, born July 13, 1947) is a South Korean politician, chief of the Democratic Republican Party (민주공화당, 民主共和黨), and singer.

He became famous for making bizarre claims such as having an IQ of 430 and possessing supernatural powers of teleportation and faith healing. In addition, he claimed that he was a secret adviser of South Korea's former military ruler, president Park Chung Hee (one of Huh's famous slogan is 'The Second Park Chung Hee') and said that he would like to marry Park Geun Hye, the daughter of Park Chung Hee and today a famous Korean politician.

In 2008, he was accused of defrauding his party members and defaming Park Geun Hye. During the elections, Huh had spread a photo of himself, allegedly taken with U.S. President George W. Bush. The photo was later proven to be doctored. Later, he was taken to prison for a year.

In July 23, 2009, he was released due to the expiration of his punishments. But, he continues his odd claims such as that the ghosts of Roh Moo-hyun and Michael Jackson visited him 3 days before they had died.

In Aug 15, The Liberation Day of Korea, he has released his first digital single Call Me.
