Usage of commas
The American movie star, Tom Cruise, is here.
The American movie star Tom Cruise is here.
South Korea's president, Moon, is here.
South Korea's president Moon is here.
I am always confused with usage of commas, so could you tell me which one is correct or natural to you?
Thank you so much as usual.

In my opinion, they're both correct, but others will disagree. I only use commas when I consider them to be necessary in understanding a sentence. In this case I'd use your versions without them.
