Kim Hye-kyung participated in the "Child Protection in the AI Era" session on June 17, where she listened to presentations by French middle school students and exchanged ideas with spouses of other world leaders.

Attending the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains with President Lee Jae-myung, Kim praised France's efforts to protect minors, stating, "Protecting youth in the digital environment is not just a family issue; it is a challenge that must be addressed by nations and the international community together."

According to a written briefing from Deputy Spokesperson Ahn Gyu-ryeong, the event was hosted by Brigitte Macron, the spouse of the French president.

After the session, students expressed their love for K-pop and requested a photo with Kim, who responded by showing them the 'finger heart' gesture.

Additionally, Kim enjoyed a friendly atmosphere with other spouses, sharing sparkling water and clinking glasses near the source of Évian water.

Later, she attended a luncheon hosted by Brigitte Macron, who warmly introduced Kim to the dining venue and menu, with Kim expressing her gratitude, according to Ahn.
