Traders' near-unanimous consensus against Park Sung-jae, the former Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office chief, being jailed by March 31 reflects the absence of an active arrest warrant or detention order following his December indictment on abuse-of-power charges tied to the election interference probe. South Korean courts rejected a prosecution request for his arrest last month, citing insufficient evidence for pre-trial detention, while his case advances through standard procedural timelines that rarely conclude with incarceration before initial hearings, typically scheduled months out. No fresh developments, such as new charges or emergency rulings, have emerged in the past week to accelerate proceedings. Realistic shifts could stem from a surprise appellate court reversal, escalated evidence from special counsel probes, or political pressures amid ongoing Yoon administration tensions, though these remain low-probability absent major catalysts.

Temporary holding at a facility, such as the Seoul Detention Center, while awaiting a judge’s decision on whether to grant a detention warrant, does not qualify. However, non-temporary detention initiated by a court-ordered warrant will count.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from involved government(s), however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
