Former South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol remains in custody after a Seoul court sentenced him to life imprisonment on February 19, 2026, for leading an insurrection tied to his 2024 martial law declaration, following prior convictions including a five-year term for abuse of power in January. Courts extended his detention warrant through mid-2026 in early January, with no verified release developments in the past 30 days amid ongoing appeals and additional trials. Trader consensus at 100% "No" reflects these binding rulings and procedural barriers, leaving negligible room for pre-March 31 exit; realistic shifts would require swift appeal reversals or extraordinary pardons, though historical patterns favor prolonged incarceration for such charges.

Transporting Yoon to another location of custody (e.g., a different prison, court, or hospital within the correctional system) will not suffice to resolve this market to "Yes".
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from government authorities or corrections departments; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
