Hollywood actor Matt Damon visited Korea again after 10 years and expressed his joyful impressions.
On the morning of the 3rd, a press conference for the film 'Odyssey' (directed by Christopher Nolan) was held at the Grand Ballroom of the Four Seasons Hotel in Gwanghwamun, Jongno-gu, Seoul. Matt Damon, Charlize Theron, producer Emma Thomas, and director Christopher Nolan attended the event.
The film 'Odyssey' tells the story of Odysseus, the hero who led the Trojan War to victory, embarking on a journey to return to his wife Penelope and son Telemachus. Matt Damon plays the role of Odysseus, with Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, and Charlize Theron also starring.
Matt Damon said, "I came to Korea again after 10 years. I am so happy to be back in Korea. When we talked about the 'Odyssey' tour and where we wanted to go, I expressed how much I wanted to come to Korea, and I am glad to be here today."
Upon arriving in Korea, Matt Damon visited Gocheok Sky Dome to watch a professional baseball game, drawing attention.
Matt Damon said, "I watched the baseball game very enjoyably. My children came with me, so we had to adjust to the time difference and couldn't stay until the end. I have a friend who is a baseball agent, and one of the players he represents plays for the Kiwoom Heroes. When I arrived at the airport, I was told I could watch the game, so I went. I had heard that Korean baseball is great, so I really wanted to see it, and it was so much fun." He added, "It was fascinating how fans of both teams cheered separately. That doesn't happen in the U.S.; the energy was incredible. The fan support is amazing. Although it's the same sport, the way people cheer in Korea is different, which I found interesting and enjoyable."
Matt Damon also added, "Yesterday, I went on a tour and had some time to explore Seoul. It was great to be able to see Seoul all day long."
Meanwhile, 'Odyssey' will be released on the 5th.
