Robert Pattinson mentioned the rumors of settling in Korea while promoting ‘Mickey 17’.

On the morning of the 20th, a preview screening and press conference for the film ‘Mickey 17’ was held at CGV Yongsan I-Park Mall in Seoul, attended by director Bong Joon-ho and actor Robert Pattinson.

Robert Pattinson humorously commented on the rumors of settling in Korea, saying, “I’m looking for an apartment,” which drew laughter from the audience.

He added, “I heard that story too, but I’ve never been to Korea before. It looks really nice, and I’ve only been here for a day. The Korean film industry is amazing, and I grew up watching many directors and actors. The entertainment industry is excellent, and I want to work on Korean projects,” he said.

Additionally, Robert Pattinson, who arrived in Korea through Incheon International Airport on the 19th, said, “It warmed my heart to see fans at the airport. I’m happy that they have expectations for the movie. It’s been a long journey to get here, and it was nice to see people asking for autographs.”

This is Robert Pattinson's first visit to Korea. He entered the country through Incheon International Airport on the 19th. Despite his busy schedule filming his next project, he reportedly showed a strong desire to come to Korea, the home country of director Bong Joon-ho.

‘Mickey 17’ tells the unpredictable story of ‘Mickey,’ an expendable who is sent on dangerous missions and faces his 17th death crisis, only to have ‘Mickey 18’ printed when he is presumed dead. It will be released in South Korea on February 28.
