South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol steals the show at a White House state dinner with a rendition of 'American Pie.'
Guests in the State Dining Room were treated to a musical medley by three Broadway stars — Lea Salonga, Norm Lewis, and Jessica Vosk.
After the Broadway trio finished their last song, First Lady Jill Biden asked the trio to sing one more — a favorite song of Yoon’s. “Well we want to hear you sing it,” Biden said to Yoon, to which the South Korean leader responded by taking the microphone and giving a brief rendition. "I understand that you like the guitar as well,” Biden said, handing a beaming Yoon an autographed guitar from Don McLean himself.
