Japan and South Korea leaders bond over drums: Video
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and South Korean President Lee Jae-myung wrapped up their summit in Takaichi’s home prefecture, Nara, on Tuesday, January 13, with a casual drum session.
A video shared online shows both leaders drumming to popular K-pop tracks. After the jam session, they exchanged drumsticks and signed them as a token of the moment.
Takaichi, who used to play in a heavy metal band, arranged the drumming event after Lee mentioned at last year’s APEC summit that he wanted to learn how to play the drums.
