SEOUL - One of South Korea's biggest stars has taken on the peninsula's biggest news story in years: The historic summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

In a new video from Lee Seung-hyun, better known as Big Bang's Seungri, the K-Pop star invades a meeting of the world leaders and sits down alongside not-really-look-a-likes of Trump and Kim, reports CNN.

At one point, "Kim" performs a choreographed dance and drinks champagne arm-in-arm with "Trump" as the chorus pumps "where are you from?"

To audiences not up on K-Pop, the video shares a number of similarities with Psy's colossal hit "Gangnam Style," with a similar tone, simple chorus and choreography.

Seungri's video seems destined for a similar amount of viral success too, racking up more than 2.7 million views on YouTube since it was released late last week. - Agencies
