While Elton John and his husband David Furnish tread the red carpet for the epic biopic's premiere in Cannes, they didn't make the trip to Seoul.
David and Elton have been a power couple for more than 25 years. They entered into a civil partnership in 2005 and after the legalisation of gay marriage in 2014, the pair retroactively converted their civil partnership to a marriage.
The rocker decided to slow down on his musical career so he can focus on bringing up their sons Zachary, eight, and Elijah, six, alongside David.

He previously told The Sun: 'It's fantastic being a dad. Ten years ago if you'd have told me that, I'd have said you're crazy.
'That's it, [though]. I mean we're too old to have anymore. If we were 20 years, 15 years younger, we'd have probably had another one at least. But with the boys we've got enough on our hands.'
Elton has previously spoken about how thrilled he is that Taron Egerton, has decided to take on the role as him in the biopic of his life.

Speaking on Elton John's Rocket Hour on Apple Music's Beats 1 radio, Elton gushed over Taron's 'brilliant' execution of his much loved tracks.
He said: 'For those of you who don't know, in Rocketman I don't sing anything. Taron has recorded, re-recorded, all the songs that are in the movie, and sings them quite brilliantly.'
Elton then asked the Kingsman: The Secret Service star: 'Did you find it difficult to sing them?'

To which Taron replied: 'I think I would have found it harder if it wasn't for the fact that you were so encouraging.
'I think that was a big part of what was an enabler and facilitated me to feel kind of relaxed enough to do them in the way that we have, and, of course, Giles Martin, who produced them, who is just the most incredible man, who I didn't know before this process. I know you did. I owe a lot of it to him, I think.'
The I'm Still Standing singer also brought up the recent Freddie Mercury biopic in which Rami Malek portrayed the music legend.

Stating the difference between the two leading men, he said: 'It's not Bohemian Rhapsody where the brilliant Rami Malek, who played Freddie, lip synced.
'You're actually doing the whole thing. I can't congratulate you enough.'
Taron further highlighted the contrast between the films, adding: 'Our film is different from Bohemian Rhapsody in the sense that we sing some of yours and Bernie’s songs, not only as performance pieces but as legitimate pieces of musical theatre.
'I know you were always very keen on this idea of a fantasy. That’s what our movie is. It’s a musical fantasy.'

Meanwhile, Elton pin-pointed the moment he realised that Taron was the right person to portray him.
The star recalled how he knew the Robin Hood star could sing when he heard Taron's rendition of I'm Still Standing in the 2016 animated film Sing, in which he played gorilla Johnny.
He said: 'I didn't get involved in any of it. I just let you go ahead ... I knew you could sing because I heard 'I'm Still Standing,' which you did in the film 'Sing'.
'You've redone that in this film, so I think you should do an album of ten different versions of I'm Still Standing.'
