Hollywood actress Charlize Theron has attracted attention as footage of her enjoying a cooking class in Korea with her daughter was released.

The released videos show Charlize Theron fully enjoying the class with her daughter, making kimbap and tteokbokki together. In particular, after tasting the kimbap she made herself, she danced while shaking her shoulders. Her daughter gave a thumbs-up. The mother and daughter both beamed with big smiles as they plated the tteokbokki. Kimbap and tteokbokki have gained attention as representative Korean snacks after appearing in the Netflix animation 'K-Pop Demon Hunters.' Chef Choi commented on the two, saying, "Watching them laugh together while making tteokbokki and kimbap was truly an unforgettable moment," and added, "I hope it became a happy memory for them, and I sincerely hope they visit again if they have the chance."

Recently, there have been several accounts of Charlize Theron and her daughter being spotted in Seoul. On the 23rd, a social media user posted photos and videos, saying, "I saw Charlize Theron in Hongdae." Wearing a brown long coat and sunglasses, Charlize Theron strolled naturally through the streets of Hongdae with her daughter, seemingly unconcerned about the cameras. In particular, as she was repeatedly seen without any bodyguards, speculation has arisen that she may be visiting Korea for a personal trip rather than an official schedule.

She later gained worldwide acclaim for her role as Furiosa in 'Mad Max: Fury Road.' Her next project is 'Odyssey,' directed by Christopher Nolan and scheduled for release in July 2026.
