This market will resolve to “Yes” if Lee Jae-myung ceases to be the President of South Korea for any period of time between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. An announcement of Lee Jae-myung's resignation/removal before this market's end date will immediately resolve this market to "Yes", regardless of when the announced resignation/removal goes into effect. If the specified individual is detained, effectively removed from the specified position, or otherwise permanently prevented from fulfilling the duties of the specified position within this market’s timeframe, it will qualify for a “Yes” resolution. The resolution source for this market will be official information from Lee Jae-myung and the government of South Korea; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.President Lee Jae-myung, who won South Korea's snap presidential election on June 3, 2025, following Yoon Suk Yeol's Constitutional Court-upheld impeachment over martial law, commands a stable position bolstered by his Democratic Party's National Assembly supermajority from the 2024 landslide. Trader consensus at 92.5% "No" stems from no active impeachment proceedings or major scandals in the past month, with recent focus on diplomatic overtures—like inter-Korean trust-building and U.S. alliance reaffirmations—amid routine cabinet adjustments, such as approving senior officials' resignations for potential electoral bids. Absent late-breaking legal challenges, health issues, or no-confidence triggers, structural barriers to removal remain high through his 2030 term end.
