Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman recently touched down in Seoul to kick off their promotional tour for the much-anticipated film Deadpool & Wolverine. The dynamic duo, accompanied by director Shawn Levy, made quite an entrance by donning traditional Korean hanboks, immersing themselves in the local culture.
During their press conference in Seoul, Reynolds, known for his wit and charm, couldn't contain his excitement about Kpop sensations BLACKPINK and Stray Kids. "I love BLACKPINK, and Stray Kids, I love Stray Kids," he enthused, showcasing his admiration for these South Korean musical talents. Reynolds has been vocal about his fandom for Stray Kids, having interacted with the group previously and even collaborating on exclusive content for their social media platforms.
The upcoming film, Deadpool & Wolverine, continues the saga of Wade Wilson (played by Reynolds), who is thrust back into action by the Time Variance Authority (TVA). Set to release on July 26, the movie promises a blend of action and humour, supported by a stellar cast including Emma Corrin, Matthew MacFayden, Karan Soni, Aaron Stanford and Jennifer Garner.
