[Edaily Starin JOO MEE_HEE Reporter] The cast and crew of the movie "The Martian" are drawing attention as they experience Korean culture ahead of their official visit to Korea.

Director Christopher Nolan, producer Emma Thomas, and actors Matt Damon and Charlize Theron of the movie “The Martian” arrived in Korea on the 1st. They began their visit by taking photos and greeting fans who had been waiting for them at the airport.
After arriving, they each spent some free time enjoying everyday life in Korea. Damon visited Gocheok Sky Dome, where he wore a Kiwoom Heroes uniform to watch a professional baseball game and even signed a baseball for a young fan in the stands.
Director Nolan, visiting Korea for the first time, displayed a down-to-earth demeanor by exploring the streets of Ikseon-dong in Seoul and visiting local cafes, where he sampled salt bread. Theron also drew attention by sharing news of her visit to Korea on her social media, using a song by the group BLACKPINK as background music.
The film *The Odyssey* depicts the journey of Odysseus (Matt Damon), the hero who led the 10-year Trojan War to victory, as he sets out to return to his homeland to reunite with his wife Penelope (Anne Hathaway) and son Telemachus (Tom Holland).
Director Nolan and the visiting cast are scheduled to meet with Korean fans at a press conference and red carpet event on the 3rd. The movie “The Odyssey” opens on the 5th.
