CGV Multiplex to Offer Subtitled Screenings

CJ-CGV, one of the top three exhibition chains in Korea, will devote a screen at its central-Seoul multiplex in the Yongsan Station shopping center to the exclusive showing of domestic films with English subtitles. The long-term project is a team strategy between CGV and local powerhouse studio CJ Entertainment in a bid to provide the growing foreign community with equal access to popular Korean film culture.

The first film to screen at the new foreigner-friendly venue will be CJ's star vehicle "A Man Who Was Superman" featuring celebrity leads Jeon Ji-hyeon ("Daisy" (2006), "My Sassy Girl" (2001)) and Hwang Jeong-min ("Happiness" (2007), "You are my Sunshine" (2005)). The drama, directed by Jeong Yoon-cheol ("Marathon" (2005)), opens January 31 nationwide.

The move marks the first time a large multiplex has offered English-subtitled Korean films as a regular service. Yongsan CGV is situated near the foreigner's district of Itaewon and the US Army base. Other films expected to have subtitled screenings this year include retro-drama "Modern Boy" starring Kim Hye-soo, to be released in April, and director Kim Ji-woon's blockbuster "The Good, the Bad, the Weird" starring power-trio Song Kang-ho, LEE Byeon-heon and Jeong Woo-seong, at theaters in June.
