CGV Introduces Electronic Entry Log System at All Directly Managed Theaters

Multiplex CGV is introducing an electronic entry log system at all directly operated locations. This is to facilitate epidemiological investigations in case a confirmed COVID-19 patient visits. A representative stated on the 19th, “Although this is not a mandatory measure for movie theaters, we decided to implement it in cooperation with government policies to create a safe movie-watching environment.”

The electronic entry log system applies to viewers who purchase tickets at the theater. By scanning the QR code provided in the lobby, users are directed to an identity verification screen where they enter simple information such as their name and contact details. Personal information is stored on the server for four weeks. The representative said, “The theater staff cannot see this information. It is securely stored and only provided to relevant authorities in case of an emergency.” Lee Ho-kyung, head of the Safety Management Team, added, “We expect this will significantly reduce the time required for epidemiological investigations through rapid information access.”

CGV members who book tickets online do not need to verify via QR code. This is because their basic membership information is already stored in the database, allowing quick access to their contact details.

CGV is implementing various preventive measures to curb the spread of COVID-19. The ventilation system operates to frequently refresh the air in screening rooms, and measures such as providing hand sanitizers, attaching antibacterial films, and disinfecting surfaces are in place to block potential transmission. Recently, a smart pass system that automatically checks viewers’ body temperature and mask-wearing status has been installed at all directly operated locations.
