[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon City is operating a free drive-in theater every weekend at Incheon Port Wharf to allow citizens, exhausted from the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, to enjoy safe cultural activities.

The city announced on the 3rd that from June 6 to October 30, a free drive-in theater accommodating 100 vehicles will be operated every Saturday and Sunday at 8 PM at the temporary parking lot of Inner Port Wharf 8 (in front of Sangsang Platform).

In June, the drive-in theater will operate once each on Saturdays and Sundays, and from July to October, it will be expanded to Fridays as well for nighttime screenings. Reservations are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis through the Incheon City website or the theater’s dedicated website (www.incheoncarmovie.or.kr).

For thorough quarantine measures, attendees can enter only after hand sanitization and temperature checks at the entrance. Additionally, attendees are advised to minimize movement inside the theater and to wear masks and practice social distancing when using restrooms.

The films to be screened include "American Chef," "Miss Granny," "Keys to the Heart," "Begin Again," "Along with the Gods," "School of Rock," "The Boss Baby," and "Liar Liar."

To operate the drive-in theater, Incheon City signed a business agreement with the Incheon Community Chest of Korea, Incheon Port Authority, and Suwajin’s Love Plus, while Samchully City Gas donated 300 million KRW.

An official from Incheon City stated, "We planned the drive-in theater utilizing the temporarily opened parking lot at Inner Port Wharf 8 to care for the mental health of citizens practicing social distancing due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation and to provide a safe way to enjoy cultural life. Some movies have already been fully booked through advance reservations, showing great interest and expectations from citizens."
