Shinsegae Group Chairman Chung Yong-jin will attend a Christmas dinner hosted by U.S. Vice President JD Vance, the company said Friday.

Chung departed earlier the same day to attend the event, which is scheduled to take place Friday night at the vice president’s official residence in Washington.

Key figures from the U.S. political and business spheres are expected to attend the dinner, along with members of Rockbridge Network, the organization founded by Vance.

Chung serves as the chairman overseeing Asia for Rockbridge Network. He also sits on the board of Rockbridge Network Korea, which officially launched as a policy think tank in October.

“Chung will continue to explore how the global network he has built over the years can contribute to the growth of Shinsegae Group and the development of the Korean economy,” Shinsegae Group said.
