Yep. You would not necessarily need to read Korean, to know that was Mac allright. ;-) The little Japanese boy behind Emperor Hirohito in that one is Crown Prince Akihito at the time (bowing). Of course, the Koreans are playing on irony here, what with Obama of the Superpower U.S.A., bowing like that later to Emperor Akihito 64 years later.

Has Obama even gone to South Korea yet? I would imagine South Korea would be a stop or is he snubbing them?
