Analysis
Oh Se-hoon's odds are priced at an extremely depressed 9¢, implying only a 9% win probability despite him being the incumbent Seoul mayor—a notably bearish assessment that warrants scrutiny. The market exhibits extreme asymmetry with a 1017% implied yield for Yes contracts versus just 7.7% for No, coupled with extraordinarily high realized volatility of 2530%, suggesting either significant uncertainty about his re-election prospects or potential mispricing given his incumbency advantage. With only $8,395.68 in open interest and a 2¢ spread on a contract expiring 413 days out, liquidity is thin enough that the price may not reflect true consensus, particularly if recent political developments in South Korea have shifted sentiment against the incumbent.
