On November 27, a chef shared a delightful moment on social media, writing, “*I recently became the luckiest fan. One of my favorite Hollywood actresses, Charlize Theron, visited our studio with her daughter. Watching them laugh while making tteokbokki and gimbap together was unforgettable. I hope it becomes a cherished memory for them, and I’d love to welcome them back.*”
The post included a video showing Charlize and her daughter taking a Korean cooking class: rolling gimbap, making tteokbokki, and enjoying their creations. In a touching moment, Charlize even danced after tasting her gimbap, while her daughter smiled brightly and gave a proud thumbs up.
Not long before, sightings of Charlize Theron in Hongdae, Seoul, were shared across online communities and social media. A fan said he saw her walking hand in hand with her daughter and politely asked for a photo. Charlize responded warmly, wrapping her arm around the fan’s shoulder and striking a pose.
What makes his visit even more surprising is that there has been no official announcement about his schedule in Korea. Even more impressive was her choice to explore the city casually, without security or a large entourage, just her and her daughter enjoying a local experience.
With the global popularity of Korean content soaring, Charlize Theron’s trip has sparked speculation that she is simply having a relaxing vacation with her daughter, soaking up the cultural wave firsthand.
Charlize Theron is best known for her Oscar winning performance in Monster and her iconic role as Furiosa in Mad Max: Road Furywhich earned her a strong fan base in Korea. His next film, The Odysseydirected by Christopher Nolan, will be released in July 2026.
