FVnj5HeakAAEphP — Tom Cruise at the “Top Gun: Maverick” red carpet event in Korea.

And in celebration of the release, as well as in appreciation of the visit, the event organizers presented the Top Gun: Maverick cast with some unique gifts!

As soon as they opened the gift boxes and found Asiha brand’s “gonryongpo” (or “Dragon Robe”) style bomber jackets inside, the cast wowed with excitement.

It’s stunning. It’s absolutely beautiful.

— Tom Cruise

A gonryongpo is a traditional attire worn by royal kings of the ancient Korean dynasties, though the design of this hanbok is rather familiar to international fans as well, thanks to historic K-Dramas.

The cast tried on their gifts—the filmmaker in red, Tom Cruise in blue, and the co-stars in white—and even posed in what Miles Teller called a “K-Pop idol” pose.

Miles Teller: We’re the newest K-Pop band.

Park Kyung Lim (Host): You’re now looking at their K-Pop “ending pose.”

Park Kyung Lim: TeamTopGun, everyone!

Seeing the gifts, Koreans praised the event organizers for putting together something so unique and thoughtful…
