This market will resolve "Yes" if Lee Sang-hyeok, known professionally as "Faker," the League of Legends player for T1, holds the office of President of the Republic of South Korea at any point on or before December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM KST. Otherwise, this market will resolve "No." For the purposes of this market, "become president" means being sworn in and officially assuming the office of President of South Korea, as recognized by the government of the Republic of Korea. Being elected, nominated, or named acting president in a caretaker capacity does not by itself count unless he formally assumes the office. The resolution source for this market will be official announcements from the government of the Republic of Korea and a consensus of credible reporting.Faker's status as a 30-year-old esports icon for T1 in League of Legends, with no political experience or campaign activity, anchors trader consensus around a near-certain "No" outcome by year-end. South Korea's constitution requires presidential candidates to be at least 40 years old on election day and mandates the next contest for 2030, leaving no ballot or eligibility path open in the remaining months. Recent honors, including his honorary police role fighting cyber gambling and prior national team gold medals, reflect his influence within gaming circles rather than any pivot toward political brackets or leadership contention. While improbable shifts like sudden constitutional amendments or an unscheduled snap vote could theoretically open a narrow window, his ongoing focus on LCK playoffs and roster performance underscores the absence of any qualifying developments.
