Dallas, TX — March 28, 2026 — You know those moments that feel like they belong in a movie? This was one of them.

Former Acting President of South Korea Hwang Kyo-ahn — a man who literally ran an entire country — took the stage at CPAC 2026 with Riley Keohen, COO of Your Friends in Business, and did the Trump dance. The fist-pump, the whole thing. In front of a roaring crowd. Livestreamed to the world. Minutes before speeches by RFK and Polish President Andrzej Duda.

If you told us a year ago this would happen, we would have laughed. And then asked for details.

Who Is Hwang Kyo-ahn?

For those who aren't up on South Korean politics (no judgment — it's a deep rabbit hole): Hwang Kyo-ahn served as Acting President of South Korea from December 2016 to May 2017. Before that, he was Prime Minister and Minister of Justice. He later led the Liberty Korea Party as chairman. In short: this is not someone who takes the stage lightly.

Which is what made the next part so incredible.

The Trump Dance (Yes, It Really Happened)

Riley Keohen, never one to miss an opportunity, invited Hwang Kyo-ahn to do the Trump dance on stage. And the former Acting President of South Korea said... yes.

What followed was pure, unscripted gold. The fist-pump dance, the crowd going absolutely wild, and a clip that started circulating on social media before they'd even left the stage. Sometimes the best moments at conferences aren't in the scheduled programming — they're the ones nobody saw coming.

Election Integrity — The Serious Part

But this wasn't just about a viral moment. Hwang Kyo-ahn was at CPAC for a reason, and his remarks hit hard:

Systematic election fraud allegations in recent South Korean elections — evidence that's been largely ignored by mainstream outlets
International solidarity on election integrity — the idea that fair elections aren't a partisan issue, they're a human issue
Media accountability — why the press needs to cover irregularities instead of looking the other way
A global call to action for transparency — because when elections aren't trusted, democracies don't work

You could feel the weight of his words in the room. This was a man who'd seen it from the inside — who'd sat in the highest office in his country — telling an international audience that something is deeply wrong and the world needs to pay attention.

Why Was YFIB at CPAC? (Great Question)

Because this is what we do. We go where the conversations are happening and we make them bigger.

YFIB hosted the CPAC Off-Site Mansion Party on March 26 and the CPAC After Party on March 29 — combining live podcasting, political networking, and the kind of energy you only get when you put interesting people in a room and point cameras at them.

Your Friends in Business was founded by Jaxon Wright (CEO), Justin Meyers (CTO), Justen Patague (Media Director), and Riley Keohen (COO). We're based in Las Vegas, but as CPAC proved — the network goes wherever the action is.
