'The movie 6,000 won discount voucher' has attracted a rush of applicants, causing the websites of the three major multiplex theaters to crash.
On the morning of the 25th, the websites and applications of multiplex theaters such as CGV, Lotte Cinema, and Megabox became inoperable.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korean Film Council started accepting applications for the 6,000 won discount voucher for movie theater admission from that day. This led to a flood of access to the theater websites.
On social media and online communities, posts were shared claiming that the waiting number exceeded 100,000 on some sites and applications, while others said the waiting time was over 14 hours. Additionally, messages about unstable site usage appeared, indicating a high level of interest among movie fans.
This project was prepared to break through the ongoing slump in the theater industry. Therefore, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and KOFIC will distribute a total of 4.5 million 6,000 won discount vouchers for movie theater admission starting at 10 a.m. on that day.
