A surprise drum duet between Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and South Korean President Lee Jae-myung.
Lee had long shared his dream of playing the drums, while Takaichi is known as a heavy metal fan who played drums during her college years.
Drawing on that shared interest, Takaichi arranged the performance as a surprise, with the two leaders sitting side by side and drumming to K-pop hits including BTS’ “Dynamite” and “Golden” from Kpop Demon Hunters.
Both leaders later described the jam session as a symbol of respecting differences and deepening cooperation as Japan and South Korea work to strengthen diplomatic ties.
