‘Mickey 17’ Robert Pattinson shared his thoughts on his visit to Korea.

On the morning of the 20th, a preview and press conference for the film ‘Mickey 17’ was held at CGV Yongsan I-PARK MALL in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Director Bong Joon-ho and actor Robert Pattinson attended the press conference that day.

On that day, Robert Pattinson greeted people in Korean, saying, “Hello” and asked, “Is my pronunciation correct?”, making people laugh.

Robert Pattinson then said about why he wanted to go to Korea in person, “I was surprised that he had never been to Seoul before. He could have come to promote it, but this is his first time. I wanted to meet you all, and I wanted to meet other people,” he said, drawing attention.

Meanwhile, ‘Mickey 17’ is a movie that depicts an unpredictable story that unfolds when ‘Mickey (played by Robert Pattinson)’, 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.

‘Mickey 17’ is based on ‘Mickey 7’ by Edward Ashton, published in 2022, and is starring a cast of actors with both star quality and acting skills, including Robert Pattinson, Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo, and is expected to be a big hit in 2025. It will be released in Korea for the first time worldwide on February 28th.
