LONDON, Nov. 7 (Yonhap) -- South Korean President Park Geun-hye fell while stepping out of her car upon arrival at the venue for a dinner reception hosted by Lord Mayor of London Roger Gifford Wednesday, but she wasn't hurt, a Seoul official said.

Park fell frontward after arriving at Guildhall in London, senior presidential press secretary Lee Jung-hyun said. It appears that she stepped on her hanbok skirt, he said. She was not hurt at all, he said.

"Dramatic entry!" Park was quoted as telling a surprised Gifford while getting back up.

At the end of the dinner, she cracked a joke again, telling Gifford that she will make a "quiet exit" this time.
