On the 28th, Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of U.S. President Donald Trump, visited South Korea for the first time in a year. Known only as a "business purpose," his schedule was confirmed to include a concert commemorating the debut album release of Han Ji-hee, the wife of Chung Yong-jin, chairman of Shinsegae Group. Chung and Trump Jr. are known to be close enough to refer to each other as "YJ" and "bro" (brother).
Starbucks in Korea is licensed to Shinsegae, a company owned by Chung Yong-Jin, a close ally to Trump family.
