Recently, various online communities and social media platforms have been abuzz with posts and photos claiming sightings of Hugh Jackman at the Starfield Library in COEX, located in the Gangnam district of Seoul.

The original poster shared a photo of a foreign man, explaining, "I ran into him by chance, but no one around seemed to recognize him." The man in the photo, dressed in a shirt and wearing a mask, bears a striking resemblance to Hugh Jackman, particularly in his eyes and build.
