Chung Yong-jin, chairman of South Korean retail conglomerate Shinsegae Group, said he met with United States President-elect Donald Trump.

Chung made the remarks to reporters on Saturday while waiting for his return flight from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Chung said that he met with Trump and talked for ten to 15 minutes, adding that he had a meal with him and separately had an in-depth conversation on various topics.

Chung, however, refused to elaborate on details of the conversation.

Chung had stayed at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort since Monday at the invitation of Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of the president-elect.

Chung is the first South Korean known to have met Trump since his election victory last month.
