After a private lunch, President Yoon and his wife viewed a special exhibition in the palace's Picture Gallery of items from the Royal Collection relating to the Republic of Korea.

Stella Panayotova, Royal Librarian said: "I chose them because these are the earliest items available we have in the collection from the Kate 19th century when diplomatic relations began."

The 62-year-old President is a known fan of karaoke and in April belted out a verse of one of his favourite songs, American Pie, at a White House dinner at the request of President Joe Biden during a state visit to the US.
William said: “I’ll put it in the diary” as he was shown gifts given to his late grandmother Elizabeth II when she became the first British monarch to make a state visit to Korea in 1999.
President Yoon and Mrs Kim were then joined by the Duke of Gloucester for a wreath-laying ceremony at the Korean War Memorial to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of the war.
