[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] Actor Brad Pitt (58) is visiting Korea for the first time in 8 years.

On the 5th, Sony Pictures announced, "Brad Pitt and Aaron Taylor-Johnson will visit Korea ahead of the release of the movie 'Bullet Train' and meet fans through a red carpet event on the 19th." They plan to engage in various promotional activities for the film, including meeting with local fans.

Brad Pitt is visiting Korea for the fourth time in 8 years, while Aaron Taylor-Johnson is visiting for the first time. Brad Pitt first came to Korea with 'Moneyball' (2011) and later met fans with 'World War Z' in 2013 and 'Fury' in 2014. As he has always had a deep affection for Korea, the distributor explained that he actively expressed his intention to visit this time by personally adjusting his schedule.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson has appeared in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron,' 'Tenet,' and 'Kingsman: The First Agent,' and after 'Bullet Train,' he will star in Marvel's original anti-hero film 'Kraven the Hunter,' scheduled to be released in January next year.

'Bullet Train,' which opens on the 24th, depicts the bloody war between unlucky guy Ladybug (Brad Pitt), who boards an inescapable high-speed train to complete a mission, and highly skilled killers.

Brad Pitt is the second Hollywood star to visit Korea this year, following Tom Cruise, who came for the release of 'Top Gun: Maverick.'
