President of S Korea shows his singing talent at the White House

South Korean President Yoon Sok Yul ended his visit to the White House on Wednesday with a singing performance that won the admiration of his American counterpart, Joe Biden.


During a dinner hosted by Biden in Yul's honor, after bilateral talks on more serious topics, including a warning by the two presidents to North Korea that any nuclear attack on its part would lead to the "end" of Pyongyang's regime, Yun showed his passion for American music.


"We know 'American Pie' is one of your favorite songs," Biden said, taking his guest to the stage to listen closely to the musicians as they played Don McClain's song.


"Yes, that's right," said Yul, who is passionate about karaoke, in response to Biden, referring to the song "American Pie" that he liked since it was released in 1971 when he was still in school.


Biden replied, "We'd love to hear the song in your voice." The South Korean president only grabbed the microphone and said, "I haven't performed it for a long time, but (...)".


And Yul sang some clips of the song without accompanying music, and he was met with applause from those present, while Biden and his wife seemed happy.
"At the next state dinner, you're going to live the party," Biden joked. "I had no idea you were singing."


After performing the song, Biden presented Leon with a guitar, which was sent and signed by Don McClain, who was unable to attend the dinner.
Some of the pioneers of communication sites praised the singing talent of the South Korean president.


This isn't the first time Yoon has performed publicly. During the 2021 presidential campaign, he was a guest on the famous South Korean program “All the Butlers” and performed the song “No One Else” by singer Lee Seung Chul.
