03.05 18:30 UpdatedFair Value Reasoning:
Despite recent price volatility, the fundamental political structure remains unchanged. Lee Jae-myung's Democratic Party (DP) holds a supermajority in the National Assembly, and passing an impeachment motion requires a two-thirds vote. Without a massive, historically unprecedented revolt within his own party, the opposition cannot effectuate impeachment. Given he is less than a year into his term (started June 2025), such a collapse is highly improbable. The current price of 5.7c trades above the structural risk (fair value ~4c), likely reflecting a premium for South Korea's inherent political volatility rather than a tangible procedural threat.

The impeachment of a South Korean president would trigger significant political instability, directly impacting South Korean financial markets. EWY (MSCI South Korea ETF) and the Korean Won (KRW) exchange rate would be most directly affected. Major stocks like Samsung Electronics (005930.KS) would also see volatility as political turmoil could affect Chaebol regulations or the business environment. Such events typically lead to a short-term rise in risk aversion, though long-term impacts depend on successor policies.
Divergence
The market pricing (~6%) is slightly higher than mainstream political analysis would suggest. Experts generally view impeachment as procedurally impossible given the ruling party's supermajority (implying <2% probability). The market premium likely reflects historical memory of 'black swan' events in Korean politics and psychological aftershocks from the recent impeachment of former President Yoon, rather than specific current legal risks.
