U.S. president Donald Trump and his daughter, Ivanka, have met with K-pop band EXO during a state dinner at the “blue house,” the South Korean presidential palace where president Moon Jae-in lives. President Moon said he had invited the band as Ivanka was a fan. Ivanka confirmed she became a fan of the K-pop stars after watching them perform at the closing ceremony of the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. She was reported to have said at the time: “My kids are huge fans. I can’t believe I’m meeting you.” The K-pop group presented Ivanka with a signed copy of their album, “Love Shot,” for her daughter’s upcoming birthday. The meeting has drawn mixed reactions from fans, with some expressing pride, while others were not pleased that their idols had met with the U.S. president. (SD-Agencies) |
