Hollywood actor Tom Cruise drew attention by opting for a Kia Carnival instead of a luxury Mercedes-Benz Maybach. It seems he chose the Korean car, the Kia Carnival, considering the host country instead of the prepared Maybach.
On 7th, Tom Cruise arrived in Korea via the business center at Gimpo International Airport after taking a private jet. This visit is for the promotion of the film 'Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning.'
This is Tom Cruise's 12th visit to Korea. He previously came in 1994 for 'Interview with the Vampire,' and again in 2000, 2001, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2018, and 2022 to promote the 'Mission: Impossible' series, 'Jack Reacher' series, and 'Top Gun: Maverick.'
On this day, Tom Cruise visited Korea with film director Christopher McQuarrie. Earlier, in 2023, Tom Cruise promised to revisit Korea during the promotional tour for 'Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,' which premiered that summer.
On this day, Korean fans gathered in huge numbers to see Tom Cruise's arrival. Tom Cruise continuously smiled and responded to fans and domestic reporters by making K-Hearts (hand hearts). He kindly and leisurely accommodated the overwhelming requests for autographs and showcased about 20 minutes of fan service.
Meanwhile, starting from 8th, Tom Cruise will carry out his schedule in Korea with director Christopher McQuarrie and actors Hayley Atwell, Simon Pegg, Pom Klementieff, and Greg Tarzan Davis.
The film 'Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning' is an action blockbuster film where Ethan Hunt (played by Tom Cruise) and IMF team members risk their lives to undertake a singular mission amid an unprecedented crisis that threatens all humanity. It is the eighth installment in the 'Mission: Impossible' series and has been invited to the non-competition institutional sector of the 78th Cannes Film Festival this year.
