This market resolves YES if the Republic of Korea experiences a political crisis resulting in the suspension or termination of democratic government BEFORE the Democratic People's Republic of Korea experiences a political crisis ending its rule by the Workers' Party of Korea.

Any suspension of democratic government in South Korea (including martial law, or a pandemic) will cause this market to resolve to YES, and similarly the termination of Workers' Party in North Korea for any reason will resolve to NO.
