Hollywood star Brad Pitt’s recent appearance in Seoul’s Bukchon Hanok Village has been made public, drawing attention.

On the 9th, actor Jung Yoon-min shared via their SNS (social networking service) a photo taken with Brad Pitt, along with the caption, “To think I met ‘Bbang-hyung’ in the alleys of Bukchon. Awesome!”

The photo shows the two standing side by side in an alley in Seoul’s Bukchon Hanok Village. Brad Pitt and Jung Yoon-min stood with bright smiles. Their pairing against a hanok backdrop drew even more attention, as no separate news of Brad Pitt’s visit to Korea had been reported.

Netizens who had not known about Brad Pitt’s visit reacted, “Isn’t it an AI-generated photo?” “Is it really Brad Pitt?” “I can’t believe I’m seeing ‘Bbang-hyung’ in Bukchon.”

Born in 1963 and now in his 60s, Brad Pitt has also been in the spotlight for his marriage to Angelina Jolie. Their divorce proceedings began in 2016 and concluded in 2019. He has appeared in Thelma & Louise, A River Runs Through It, Legends of the Fall, Seven Years in Tibet, Troy, Ocean’s Eleven, and F1: The Movie.

Jung Yoon-min is active in theater, television dramas, and films.
