Trump's son to visit South Korea next week to meet with business leaders, invited by Shinsegae Group chairman

Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of US President Donald Trump, will visit South Korea next week. The visit was made at the invitation of Chung Young Ji Ng, chairman of the Shinsegae Group.
He is expected to meet with the heads of major conglomerates. This will be Trump Jr.'s first visit to South Korea since the second term of the Trump administration. A Shinsegae Group official said on the 23rd, "Jr. visited South Korea at the invitation of Chairman Chung.

The two are not only close, but also share a deep religious bond as fellow Protestants. Chairman Chung stayed at Mar-a-Lago for six days in December last year at the invitation of Chung Jr.
During his stay in Washington, he met with Trump, who was then the president-elect, and exchanged views at length. When he visited Washington for the inauguration of President Trump in January this year, he was joined by prominent figures in the political and business world through the intermediation of Mr.
He had extensive contact with powerful people.
