On the morning of the 20th, a preview and press conference for the movie ‘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.

When asked about the rumors of him immigrating to Korea due to his extraordinary affection for Korea, Robert Pattinson joked, “I‘m really looking for an apartment.” He then said, “I’ve never been (to Korea) before. It looks really nice. It hasn‘t even been 24 hours since I’ve been here. The Korean film industry seems amazing. I grew up watching many directors and actors. I want to do more Korean works.”

He also said about the many fans who welcomed him upon his arrival on the 19th, “I was really surprised. It warmed my heart to see them at the airport. He also asked for my autograph, saying, ”It was nice to see you.“

Meanwhile, ‘Mickey 17’ is a movie that depicts an unpredictable story that unfolds when ‘Mickey (played by Robert Pattinson)’ is an expendable item (Expendable) that is used for dangerous work, and is reprinted when he dies, and ‘Mickey 18’ is printed while he is going through his 17th death crisis, 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.
