Ahead of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on the 20th (local time), news of religious and political figures attending continues.

Pastor Jeon Kwang-hoon announced his plan to meet with Trump, claiming that he and his wife were invited, and Daegu Mayor Hong Joon Pyo and Gyeongbuk Governor Lee Chul-woo also announced their attendance.

In fact, however, Trump's inauguration is basically an event in the United States, and foreigners are not officially invited.

Ambassador Cho Hyun-dong to the U.S. is the only official representative of our government.

Shinsegae Group Vice Chairman Chung Yong-jin (invitation of Trump's eldest son) and National Power lawmakers Cho Jung-hoon and Kim Dae-sik (invitation of Senator Ted Cruz) will participate in the event with 220,000 general tickets issued by the U.S. Congress.

For general admission tickets that are more than 100 meters away from the stage, members of the House and Senate often distribute seats to people close to them, or tickets for standing seats are received and distributed to local residents.

Inauguration VIP seats are limited to the Trump family and key figures.

Inauguration tickets can also be purchased through some secondhand transactions, which are currently being traded for $100 to $500 on eBay.

Big donors of more than $1 million will be given the opportunity to participate in special events such as a dinner with the elected couple, and Hyundai Motor Group reportedly donated $1 million.
