Director Bong Joon-ho gave a funny explanation for the modifier 'Flower Handsome Destroyer'.

Director Bong Joon-ho recently met with Sports Chosun somewhere in Yeouido, Seoul, saying, `I didn't want to be a flower boy destroyer in Mickey 17 because I had a hard time filming Won Bin in the movie 'Mother'.'

The film 'Mickey 17' is Bong's return to the Cannes Film Festival Grand Prix and the American Academy Award for the film 'Parasite' (2019). It is based on the American writer Edward Ashton's novel `Mickey 7' and tells the story of Mickey 18, a consumable (expendables) put into dangerous work and reprinted after death, when Mickey 18 was printed thinking he was dead during his 17th death crisis.

Robert Pattinson took on the role of Mickey 17 and Mickey 18 in the play, challenging him to play two roles. Director Bong said, `Mickey 17 is a little bit dirty and in Korean, it's really nice. You always lose money, but you can't get angry, so you make me feel sorry. Rather than being open and funny, he needed to look timid and timid, but he was good at controlling his own tone. In fact, I relied on the actors because they knew much better about English nuances than I did."Robert Pattinson was a delicate and well-prepared actor, and I was very lucky because I had a desire and vision for a role"Thank you."

He also explained why he cast Robert Pattinson, a handsome Hollywood star, in 'Mickey 17'. Director Bong said "I think he sees me as a handsome guy, but I didn't want to do that (laughs). I tried not to look good on Won-bin during 'Mother', but it was not normal. Director Hong Kyungpyo and I were filming Won Bin and he said, 'You're handsome!I was impressed with '"Robert Pattinson first saw him in "Twilight" and thought, "How is that young man so white?" But the pale and cool image on the outside wasn't everything. Later, he was greedy in acting, so he also appeared in many American indie movies. Especially in 'Lighthouse', which works with Willem cannon, it explodes a lot of madness energy. After watching the movie, Robert Pattinson seemed to be able to pull off Mickey 18 as well. When acting, he expressed a lot of different feelings, so it was like playing multiple roles. It wouldn't have been easy, but you did a great job."

As for Robert Pattinson, who was seen at the scene, "He is quiet and nice in real life. There was nothing that made the staff difficult or tricky, so it was also amazing when filming in England. Distributor officials also said that Robert worked hard without complaining when he came to Korea for a promotional schedule last time. "It's very nice to leave the East and the West."

Meanwhile, 'Mickey 17' confirmed its release in Korea for the first time in the world on the 28th. The North American release date is March 7.
