INFERY / RESEARCH VERDICT
Rating

Buy NO

YES overvaluedSlight gapMedium confidence

Opposition rallies have produced no removal motion and the ruling party stays cautious, so Lee most likely serves out the year.

“No”Fair price range90–99¢
  • The opposition staged its first outdoor rally in a year demanding that Lee's trial resume, with no impeachment motion against him filed.
  • Lee's legal battle risks public backlash and a ruling-party rift, while the resurfaced impeachment calls target the Supreme Court chief justice, not a removal motion against Lee.
  • The standoff with the Supreme Court chief justice has intensified since Lee sought a new nominee, with the ruling party pressing Cho Hee-dae and the opposition defending him, and no formal removal process against Lee has started.
CURRENT MARKET

Lee Jae-myung out as president of South Korea in 2026?

⚠Risk: The call rests on no formal removal process starting; a filed impeachment motion, ruling-party defections or a detention order would signal it breaking.
Next watch: Whether the National Assembly standoff over the chief justice escalates into a formal motion or ruling-party defections.
