Black Pink White House Affair May Not Happen

A proposed summit meeting at the White House between US President Joe Biden and his South Korean counterpart Yoon Suk-yeol was to include performances by American Lady GaGa and K-pop superstars Black Pink but it seems that the Hallyu girl group may not make the date. Rumored to have been the plan of Mrs. Biden, their appearance may have been scuttled by finances, a failed confab between the now unpopular Korean president and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, a turnover at the highest levels of South Korean government and complications caused by the world tour of Black Pink. The April 26 meeting was meant to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the US-South Korean alliance. 

International relations just keep getting more complicated.
