<p>South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol definitely surprised everyone when he started singing a classic rock song at a Wednesday dinner at the White House.</p>
<p>President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden held a dinner for the South Korean leader along with fellow politicians and celebrities like Angelina Jolie, reality TV stars Chip and Joanna Gaines, and Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), among many others, the <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/04/27/south-korean-president-belts-out-american-pie-at-white-house-state-dinner-stunning-biden/">New York Post</a> reported.</p>
<p>During the event, Biden turned to Yoon and said that he heard one of the leader&#8217;s favorite songs is Don McClean&#8217;s 1971 hit song &#8220;American Pie.&#8221; Biden said, &#8220;We want to hear you sing it.&#8221; The South Korean leader then took the mic and showed off his singing skills when he belted out a few lines from the popular song.</p>
<p>Accompanied only by a piano, Yoon sang several lines from the famous song. Those in attendance cheered and hollered as he sang before giving him a standing ovation.</p>

<p>Afterwards, Biden reportedly told him, &#8220;I had no damn idea you could sing,&#8221; the <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/04/27/south-korean-president-belts-out-american-pie-at-white-house-state-dinner-stunning-biden/">Post</a> noted. &#8220;Don’t expect me to sing it!&#8221;</p>
<p>The president then gave Yoon an acoustic guitar signed by McLean. The singer-songwriter was supposed to be at the dinner but was unable to make it, the outlet noted. Yoon took the guitar and held it up looking very pleased with the gift.</p>

<p>Yoon thanked the president for the &#8220;special and warm hospitality. I am very pleased to be making a state visit to the United States during this meaningful year that marks the 70th anniversary of the ROK-U.S. Alliance.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Our two countries have overcome challenges and crises during the past 70 years based on the deep roots of freedom and democracy, building a value alliance that is strong, resilient, and sustainable,&#8221; he added.</p>
