'Barbie' Ryan Gosling, first trip to Korea failed

Hollywood star 'Barbie' Ryan Gosling's first visit to Korea has been canceled.

On the 30th, the movie 'Barbie' said, "It was difficult for actor Ryan Gosling to attend the 'Barbie' event in Korea due to unavoidable circumstances." He added, "Ryan Gosling hopes to see you soon through other opportunities. We ask for the understanding of many people who have been waiting for Ryan Gosling's visit to Korea."

On July 2nd, director Greta Gerwig, who directed 'Barbie', and actors Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, and America Ferrera were scheduled to visit Korea. The 'Barbie' side said that although Ryan Gosling's visit to Korea was unsuccessful, director Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie and America Ferrera's visit to Korea will proceed as scheduled.

The 'Barbie' side did not reveal the detailed reason and background related to Ryan Gosling's sudden cancellation of visit to Korea, which is a great situation for fans. Some say that he was conscious of the recent miscasting controversy related to Ryan Gosling. Born in 1980 and 43 years old this year, Gosling was embroiled in a miscasting controversy after being pointed out that she looked 'old' due to the 10-year age difference between her co-star Margot Robbie and her 10-year-old counterpart. Regarding this, Gosling refuted in an interview, "If you don't want to play with my Ken, you can play with another Ken."

'Barbie' is a live-action version of the doll Barbie. Barbie (Margot Robbie), who lived in Barbie Land, where she can become anything she wants, discovers a crack in the portal that connects to the real world, and Ken (Ryan Gosling) and It depicts the unfolding story while going on an unexpected journey, and will be released in July.
