Tom Cruise Confirmed for 13th Visit to Korea for 'Digger'... Breaking Record for Hollywood Actor

Hollywood actor Tom Cruise has confirmed his 13th visit to South Korea.

Tom Cruise will visit Korea to promote his upcoming film "Digger" (directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu), which is set to be released on October 3. Starting with a press conference with domestic reporters in Seoul on the afternoon of October 1, he plans to meet fans through events such as a red carpet appearance.

This marks his 13th visit to Korea overall, setting the record for the most visits by any Hollywood actor. Known for his exceptional fan service during every visit, he has earned the affectionate nickname "Friendly Uncle Tom."

"Digger" tells the story of an eccentric, old-fashioned tycoon named Digger Rockwell, whose minor crack at a glacier drilling facility in Greenland spirals into an unprecedented catastrophe that shakes the entire world.

In this new project, Tom Cruise takes on the title role, heralding a striking acting transformation. He showed immense dedication by enduring hours of special makeup to play an elderly character.

The film is scheduled to open on October 3.
