Kuala lumpur: First lady Kim Hea Kyung visited a pop-up store featuring Korean food in Kuala Lumpur on Monday. She was accompanying President Lee Jae Myung on his trip to Malaysia for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit.

According to Yonhap News Agency, Kim also participated in the spouses' program for the ASEAN summit, where she engaged with spouses of leaders from Southeast Asian nations, as confirmed by the presidential office.
