Mickey Mouse is in Seoul.
Sporting his trademark ears and his signature smile, the world's most famous mouse began his first-ever tour of the country on the month of his 90th birthday.
He surprised Seoul locals in the city centre on Wednesday.
Appearing with Korean actors Lee Joon-gi and Shin Se-kyoung along with staff members of Disney, Mickey wrapped presents for 500 children from low-income families.
"It's like you never ever experienced at all with Micky Mouse, to wrapping up those gift for those children, and as a cast member of Disney Korea."
The Walt Disney icon's visit comes as part of his birthday celebration taking place around the globe.
Mickey Mouse first hit the big screen in 1928,... in the Disney cartoon Steamboat Willie.
Fast forward 90 years,... he's still the world's most famous cartoon character, having starred in 121 animated short films,... and around 90 TV series since.
To meet with his fans around the globe,... Mickey Mouse has visited Shanghai, London and New York,... and has, now, partnered with Seoul City in the third anniversary of its "I Seoul U" slogan.
"Seoul is celebrating Mickey's birthday and he, in turn, is celebrating the third year of the "I Seoul U" brand which we hope will last for more than 100 years. Through our collaboration, we plan to share his moments of touring Seoul via social media."
"Before he leaves on Saturday, Mickey will visit some of Seoul's iconic landmarks including the Dongdaemun Design Plaza, Yeouido Hangang Park, and N Seoul Tower, so there's plenty of time to spot those famous ears for yourself.
Oh Soo-young, Arirang News."
