As The Marmot's Hole said, President Obama will get an honorary Taekwondo belt while he's here. From the Chosun Ilbo:
Obama practiced taekwondo for about four years with an American master in Chicago from 2001 while he was serving in the Illinois state senate. He obtained a green belt.
The Chosun Ilbo, as well as pretty much every other Korean news site, has loads of galleries of the visit. Here's a letter President Obama wrote to President Lee:
I hope for President Obama's sake they skip the visit to the National Assembly.

Definitely did a double-take when I saw these photos on the Naver homepage today!
Looks like Obama is fighting heart-burn.
Ha. Obama taught a Korean their own national sport. That is... odd. Why doesn't Lee know how to punch? Was he not a member of the assembly before rising to office?
How did I fail to notice the multiple-hand choke in the National Assembly? -_-
Is it just me, or does Lee look like an Asian version of Tin Tin?
