Director Bong Joon-ho’s film ‘Mickey 17’ has confirmed its release in Korea on February 28th, 2025, the first in the world. As a result, ‘Mickey 17’ will be the first to be released in Korea, earlier than its scheduled global release on March 7th.

Actor Robert Pattinson, who plays ‘Mickey’, is scheduled to visit Korea on January 20th to meet with Korean media and fans in person. In this first visit to Korea, he also plans to begin global promotional activities for ‘Mickey 17’ in Korea.

It is said that this visit to Korea was decided due to Robert Pattinson‘s strong will to visit Korea, director Bong Joon-ho’s home country, despite his busy schedule filming his next film. Director Bong Joon-ho and Robert Pattinson will meet with Korean media after the screening of the footage of ‘Mickey 17’, and will have a press conference to talk about various things about ‘Mickey 17’, and will also have a stage greeting and other direct meetings with fans.

Meanwhile, ‘Mickey 17’ is a movie about an unpredictable story that unfolds when ‘Mickey’, an expendable item (Expendable) that is deployed for dangerous work and is reprinted when he dies, is going through his 17th death crisis, and ‘Mickey 18’ is printed, thinking he is dead. The film is scheduled to be first released in Korea on February 28, 2025.
