British actor Tom Hiddleston had recently finished an overseas visit to Sydney, Beijing and Seoul to promote upcoming film Thor: The Dark World. Arriving in Seoul and being greeted by a very enthusiastic crowd of Thor fans (or would that be Loki’s Korean Army?), one couldn’t help but wonder if he’d ever meet any Hallyu stars during his brief stay. Turns out he did.
Tiffany of girl group Girls’Generation was chosen to be his lucky tour guide for Seoul and to interview him on Mnet Wide Entertainment News. Tom also made a guest appearance on SNL Korea.
Here are some updates from SNSD, SM and Tom’s social network sites. All credit goes to their original sources as shown on the watermark.
I met the lovely Tiffany from Girls’ Generation yesterday & she showed me around Seoul. #LokiInKorea
