<p>Robert Pattinson explored the culinary scene of South Korea with director Bong Joon-ho.</p><p>The British actor was in Seoul for the press tour of his new movie <em>Mickey 17</em> directed by Joon-ho.</p><p>In a video shared on the film&#x27;s Instagram page, Robert can be seen enjoying Tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) with Jon-hoo at an eatery in Seoul. Thinking he was trying the &quot;mild&quot; version, Robert quickly realized it was actually the spiciest option, a playful prank orchestrated by the staff.</p><p>&quot;That&#x27;s quite spicy,&quot; Robert said with a chuckle as he consumed milk to combat the spiciness. &quot;I&#x27;m such a baby. I&#x27;m sweating already.&quot;</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media" id="instagram-embed-6" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFJYAzcSb2Q/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=754&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A6%2C%22os%22%3A2646258%2C%22ls%22%3A488831%2C%22le%22%3A489054%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="0" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-6" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px;min-width:326px;padding:0px;position:absolute"></iframe></div><blockquote class=" instagram-media-registered" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFJYAzcSb2Q/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" id="instagram-media-payload-6" style="background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15);margin:1px;max-width:540px;min-width:326px;padding:0;width:calc(100% - 2px)"><div style="padding:16px"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFJYAzcSb2Q/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" style="background:#FFFFFF;line-height:0;padding:0 0;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:100%" target="_blank"><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:row;align-items:center"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;flex-grow:0;height:40px;margin-right:14px;width:40px"><br/></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:column;flex-grow:1;justify-content:center"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;margin-bottom:6px;width:100px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;width:60px"><br/></div></div></div><div style="padding:19% 0"><br/></div><div style="display:block;height:50px;margin:0 auto 12px;width:50px"><br/></div><div style="padding-top:8px"><div style="color:#3897f0;line-height:18px">View this post on Instagram</div></div><div style="padding:12.5% 0"><br/></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:row;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:center"><div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;height:12.5px;width:12.5px;transform:translateX(0px) translateY(7px)"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;height:12.5px;transform:rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px);width:12.5px;flex-grow:0;margin-right:14px;margin-left:2px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;height:12.5px;width:12.5px;transform:translateX(9px) translateY(-18px)"><br/></div></div><div style="margin-left:8px"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;flex-grow:0;height:20px;width:20px"><br/></div><div style="width:0;height:0;border-top:2px solid transparent;border-left:6px solid #f4f4f4;border-bottom:2px solid transparent;transform:translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg)"><br/></div></div><div style="margin-left:auto"><div style="width:0px;border-top:8px solid #F4F4F4;border-right:8px solid transparent;transform:translateY(16px)"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;flex-grow:0;height:12px;width:16px;transform:translateY(-4px)"><br/></div><div style="width:0;height:0;border-top:8px solid #F4F4F4;border-left:8px solid transparent;transform:translateY(-4px) translateX(8px)"><br/></div></div></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:column;flex-grow:1;justify-content:center;margin-bottom:24px"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;margin-bottom:6px;width:224px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;width:144px"><br/></div></div></a><div style="color:#c9c8cd;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center;text-overflow:ellipsis;white-space:nowrap"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFJYAzcSb2Q/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" style="color:#c9c8cd;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">A post shared by Mickey 17 (@mickey17)</a></div></div></blockquote><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Fans online were quick to react to the video.</p><p>&quot;I&#x27;m loving the Pattinson Oppa content, I can&#x27;t believe these two worlds finally collided 😂,&quot; one fan commented.</p><p>&quot;I&#x27;m obsessed with this new era.

Pictures, <em>Mickey 17</em> follows the story of Mickey Barnes (Robert) who &quot;has found himself in the extraordinary circumstance of working for an employer who demands the ultimate commitment to the job… to die, for a living.&quot;</p><p>Aside from directing the film, Joon-ho also wrote the screenplay. Robert stars in the movie alongside Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo.</p><p>In a <em>Vanity Fair</em> interview last January, the actor was asked about his thoughts regarding the movie&#x27;s long-awaited theatrical release following some delays.</p><p>&quot;It’s strange because the last few years for the film industry, starting with COVID and then the strikes, everyone was constantly saying cinema is dying. And quite convincingly. I was literally almost turned off,&quot; he admitted.</p><p>The actor went on: &quot;It actually started to get a little worrying. Then looking in the last few months, there’s this flurry of very ambitious movies. I feel like the stuff that’s going to get nominated for Oscars this year is going to be really interesting, and it seems like there’s suddenly a new batch of directors who the audience is excited about as well. Hopefully <em>Mickey</em> will come out in a period of enthusiasm for cinema.&quot;</p>
