He is expected to land in Korea after visiting Japan.
This will be Ronaldo's first trip to Korea since July 2007, when he came to Seoul for Manchester United's friendly match with FC Seoul. Ronaldo, who is now with Real Madrid, then scored one goal and provided two assists to lead United to a 4-0 win.
The 33-year-old Portuguese also had a chance to visit Korea in 2009, but he completed his move to Madrid then, and did not travel with United squad.
Ronaldo scored four goals at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, including a hat trick against Spain. Portugal, however, were eliminated in the round of 16. (Yonhap)
