This market will resolve to "Yes" if the Leader of the Democratic Party of Korea Lee Jae-myung is arrested or detained by law enforcement by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". A qualifying arrest/detention includes: * Being taken into physical custody by law enforcement authorities (including federal, state, local, military, or international law enforcement) * Voluntarily surrendering to law enforcement authorities in response to an arrest warrant * Being formally booked or processed following detention * Being handcuffed by a state authority and taken to a police station * Surrendering at a police station or courthouse with their attorney * Being placed under house arrest or electronic monitoring The following scenarios will NOT qualify as an arrest/detention * An arrest warrant being issued but not executed * Being questioned or interviewed without arrest * Being named in an indictment without arrest The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the arresting government and law enforcement, however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.President Lee Jae-myung's constitutional immunity under Article 84 shields him from prosecution in most criminal cases while in office, suspending trials on charges including Daejang-dong corruption, Baekhyeon-dong development, inter-Korean remittances, and election law violations following his June 2026 early presidential election victory. Recent Democratic Party legislation, advanced in early May ahead of June 3 local elections, proposes a special counsel to investigate alleged politically motivated indictments from the prior Yoon administration, potentially allowing dismissal of his cases. With no new arrest warrants or escalations reported in the past month, traders price an 84.7% "No" probability, reflecting the high barriers to detention absent impeachment or removal, historical precedents favoring incumbents.
