Former Vice President Biden, who is influential as the next president of the United States, has as many ties to former Korean presidents as he has a long political career.

In particular, the late President Kim Dae-jung befriended him during his exile in the United States, and was chosen as a leader whom he often respects.

Reporter Hong Sun-ki presents the relationship between former Vice President Biden and Korean presidents.

The relationship between the late President Kim Dae-jung and former US Vice President Biden dates back to the 1980s.

Former President Kim befriended Senator Biden, who was a supporter of North Korea’s compromise policy, and Jihan Paiza during exile in the United States.

Almost 30 years later, Biden, who visited Korea as chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, happily met with former South Korean president Kim.

The late President Kim Dae-jung also expressed special thanks to Biden, a supporter of the Sunshine Policy.

[故 김대중 전 대통령 (지난2001년) : 바이든 위원장께서는 저의 햇볕정책을 일관되게 지지해주시고, 이번 출국 전에도 그런 의사를 표시하면서 한반도 문제 해결에 강한 의욕을 가지고 오신 것을 잘 알고 감사히 생각하고 있습니다.]

It is a famous anecdote that former President Kim swapped his tie on the spot with Biden, who showed a crush on his tie.

Biden, who viewed former President Kim Dae-jung as a respected leader, mourned his death more than anyone.

Later, I met with former President Lee Myung-bak as Vice President of the United States to discuss the situation on the Korean Peninsula.

At the time of the Park Geun-hye administration, as Vice President of the United States, he visited the Blue House and built a relationship over lunch with former President Park, who visited the United States.

During his visit to Korea as Vice President, he visited the War Memorial and the Demilitarized Zone, expressing his sympathy for the peace efforts on the Korean Peninsula.

Noteworthy is the type of relationship he will establish with President Moon Jae-in if the election of former Vice President Biden, who has built several ties with our President, as well as his long political career, is confirmed.
