Lee Jae-myung, South Korea’s president since his June 2025 victory in the snap election, faces multiple ongoing criminal proceedings, including election-law violations and separate corruption cases from his time as mayor and governor. Courts have indefinitely postponed key hearings, citing constitutional protections that apply to sitting presidents. These procedural delays, combined with the structural barriers to arresting an incumbent, underpin trader consensus that an arrest before 2027 remains improbable. No recent official actions or court rulings have altered this timeline, keeping implied probabilities for “No” elevated.
