**President Lee Jae-myung faces multiple suspended criminal cases stemming from his time as Seongnam mayor and Gyeonggi governor, including corruption, bribery, and election-law allegations.** South Korea’s Constitution grants sitting presidents immunity from prosecution except for insurrection or treason, leading courts to postpone all five active trials shortly after his June 2025 inauguration. Recent police decisions have dismissed specific complaints, such as alleged Public Official Election Act violations and North Korea-related fund transfers, citing insufficient evidence. Legislative efforts to reform prosecutorial powers have drawn opposition criticism but have not altered his protected status. With his single five-year term extending well beyond 2027 and no new arrest warrants or constitutional challenges advancing, trader consensus reflects the structural barriers to detention during his presidency.
