Trump Serenaded With Anthem YMCA as He Lands in South Korea

Trump's Visit to South Korea

President Trump was welcomed in South Korea with a unique gesture, as he was serenaded with an orchestral rendition of the song "YMCA" upon landing.

The song, which was frequently played during Trump's election campaign, has been a recurring theme on his Asian diplomacy tour. Previously, he danced to it on a U.S. aircraft carrier in Japan while addressing troops.

During his visit to South Korea, Trump was presented with gifts by President Lee Jae Myung, including a gold crown and the Grand Order of Mugunghwa medal, the country's highest honor.

He was awarded the Grand Order of Mugunghwa medal, named after South Korea's national flower, a pink hibiscus.

Although Trump did not dance to the song this time, he seemed to appreciate the gifts and the warm welcome he received.
