**As South Korea’s sitting president since June 2025, Lee Jae-myung benefits from constitutional immunity under Article 84, which shields him from criminal prosecution (except for insurrection or treason) while in office through 2030.** His multiple pre-presidency cases—covering election-law violations, development-project allegations, and other charges—have been suspended or postponed by courts explicitly citing his official duties and the need for governmental continuity. Recent police actions have dismissed fresh complaints against him, including one involving alleged North Korea-related payments, citing insufficient evidence. Ruling-party legislative efforts to further separate investigations from prosecutions and address prior cases align with this protective framework. With no new indictments or arrest warrants active and the next scheduled events falling well after 2027, traders’ strong consensus on “No” reflects the structural barriers and absence of triggering developments in the short term.
