Yoon’s Impeachment Confirmed: Key Timeline & Regime Change Trade

By Sanghyun Park

  • The Constitutional Court approved President Yoon’s impeachment. The PM steps in as interim president, with a new election expected by May 28, 2025, before June 3.
  • The Democratic Party is the frontrunner, and if they win, expect a “regime change trade” with policy shifts toward green energy, welfare, public stimulus, and SME-focused initiatives.
  • Big-Cap builders, nuclear stocks, and major financials may struggle if the new regime focuses on public housing, anti-nuclear policies, and pro-SME, labor-friendly initiatives.
