One prediction market prices this story:

  • Yes — the market puts it at 50%, closing 1 Jul 2030. The market resolves to Yes if President Lee Jae-myung completes his full term ending on June 3, 2030. It resolves to No if he leaves office before that date for any reason. Readers often mistake the linked news story about AI hacks as the resolution criteria instead of the president's actual tenure.
