The King's Korean Speech: Charles makes references to K-pop culture (and even makes joke about Gangnam Style) at grand Buckingham Palace state banquet for South Korea's President on official visit

King Charles gave a speech with references to K-pop culture at a grand Buckingham Palace state banquet for South Korea 's President tonight. Speaking to more than 300 state banquet attendees, including singer BLACKPINK , he welcomed them with a smattering of Korean: 'Yeong-gug-e osin geos-eul hwan-yeonghabnida [Welcome to Britain].' Marking the 140th anniversary of Korea's diplomatic relationship with the UK, the King described it as a 'partnership in which close personal connections, fostered over many decades, have blossomed today into a real sense of affection, or jeong, between our societies at so many levels'.
