It is not just a ritual greeting between the two, but an example that shows that the highest level of France is deeply aware of the global influence of the K-pop industry and Lee Soo-man's cultural vision. It is of great significance in that it can be a symbolic starting point for the protection of creator rights and the cooperation model between Korea and France.
