It marks his first visit to South Korea since he had a summit with then-President Park Geun-hye more than three years ago.

Obama is to deliver a speech regarding his experience as president and leadership at the conference organized by a local newspaper. He is also scheduled to meet with Lee Myung-bak, who served as president from 2008-2013.

Other details on his trip have yet to be confirmed. (Yonhap)
