One prediction market prices this story:

  • Will Kim Jong Un be the next leader out before 2027? — the market puts it at 1%, with $9k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The Yes outcome occurs if Kim Jong Un permanently ceases to hold his office before January 1, 2027. Temporary removals, caretaker roles, or announced resignations do not count toward this result. Readers often mistake the deadline as the end of 2027, but the market resolves at 11:59 PM ET on December 31, 2026.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
