    1. You don’t seem to be an American. And to answer your question , it was not. It was known that President Yoon liked pop songs. And all Koreans have one or two pop songs they can instantly sing. This song just spoke a thousand words. Sad that you don’t understand it.

  1. Mrs. Biden’s excellent choice.Thanks to you, I could listen to a great song.Looking at President Biden’s smile, I wasn’t there, but I was happy

  2. Checking out the comments… I’m SO relieved I’m not the only one who teared up watching this. Once again, the power of music prevails. The world needs more of this. ❤

  3. As some others commented, I teared up… “American Pie” was about the death of Buddy Holly. Thank you, Sir.

    1. Yes, also about Richie Valens and the Big Bopper, including the pilot. Their plane crash was the day the music died, may they all RIP.

  4. Now this is how friendships and diplomacy bind together Way to go to South Korea we got your back!
