[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seongdong-gu (Mayor Jung Won-oh) recently opened a "drive-in theater" at Salgotri Sports Park for residents who are reluctant to visit crowded theaters due to COVID-19.
The district prepared this event as part of "psychological quarantine" to stabilize and heal residents who are mentally and physically exhausted from anxiety and stress caused by COVID-19.
The theater will operate for three days from the 20th to the 22nd at 7:30 PM in the sports field within Salgotri Sports Park. The movies to be screened are "La La Land" on the 20th, "Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds" on the 21st, and the animation "Coco" on the last day, the 22nd. These are top box office hits that offer popularity, fun, and emotion all at once.
Admission to the movies is free, and reservations are accepted first for 50 vehicles. Reservations can be made through the Seongdong Cultural Foundation website (www.sdfac.or.kr) and by phone (☏2286-5194, ☏2204-6405). Parking fees within the sports field are waived from 6 PM until the end of the movie.
The drive-in theater operations headquarters has hand sanitizers and thermometers available, and an ambulance is on standby to prepare for any emergencies. The sports field at Salgotri Sports Park is disinfected daily. Since the theater operates on a non-face-to-face basis due to COVID-19, food and beverages such as drinks and snacks are not provided, so it is recommended to prepare them yourself if necessary.
