Lee Hae-jin, the founder of Naver, met with Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of U.S. President Donald Trump, on the 30th to discuss cooperation centered around artificial intelligence (AI).
According to the information technology (IT) industry, Lee Hae-jin, chairman of the Naver Board, and Trump Jr. met at a hotel in Gangnam, Seoul, for about an hour in the morning. The chairman returned to his position after approximately eight years at the regular shareholders' meeting in March.
Naver stated, "The chairman and Trump Jr. shared their views on AI, technology, and global expansion, engaging in positive discussions about mutual cooperation." The meeting between the chairman and Trump Jr. reportedly took place in a separate security area of the hotel, which was off-limits to outsiders. Since returning as chairman of the board, the chairman has been leading Naver's AI strategy.
