# Will Faker become president of South Korea by the end of the year?

Live · $335 traded · listed on Polymarket

## About

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.
