His “aegyo” went viral.
Koreaboo
Hollywood star Robert Pattinson is visiting Korea for the first time to promote a new film. Mickey Mouse 17 is an upcoming sci-fi black comedy produced, written and directed by Bong Joon Hothe creative mind behind it Parasite AND Memories of murder.
Recently, both Pattinson and Bong attended a press conference for Mickey Mouse 17 which was held in the Yongsan district of Seoul. Pattinson, who received worldwide recognition for his role as vampire Edward Cullen in the film Dusk franchise, cited Bong’s sense of humor and widespread appeal as two reasons he wanted a role Mickey Mouse 17.
Mickey Mouse 17 is set in a world where humans can be cloned as easily as documents can be photocopied. Pattinson plays one of these disposable humans who is sent on a dangerous expedition to colonize the frozen world of Niflheim.
At the press conference, Pattinson greeted reporters with a greeting in Korean, “Annyeonghaseyo” and took part in a photo shoot with Bong. At first, Pattinson couldn’t seem to decide what kind of heart pose to do. He tested the classic finger-hearts…
…before doing a heart-hand with Bong. Korean idols and actors often strike these poses on the red carpet or during press conferences.
It’s no surprise that fans love these wholesome interactions…
