A press release by the movie's Korea promoter 1st Look said on Tuesday that Cruise, along with his co-star Paula Patton and director Brad Bird of "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" will fly into Korea on December 2.

This visit will be part of their world tour for the upcoming movie and Cruise's first time to Korea since 2009 for film "Valkyrie" but his fifth time in Korea in total.
