Gmarket Distributes 600,000 Splash-Blocking Masks for Moviegoers

[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Gmarket will distribute droplet-blocking masks for free starting from the 5th in collaboration with Megabox to promote a safe movie-watching culture. This applies to all moviegoers visiting 104 Megabox theaters nationwide.

For this event, Gmarket has prepared 600,000 droplet-blocking (KF-AD) masks certified by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. One mask per person will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis from the first screening at each location until supplies run out. Masks can be received by verifying movie attendance at designated Megabox distribution points on the day of the screening.

Gmarket is currently selling Megabox regular theater movie tickets at the lowest prices through a movie discount event every Wednesday. Tickets can be used on both weekdays and weekends. Regular customers can purchase tickets for 7,800 KRW, while Smile Club members, a premium membership, can buy them for 7,000 KRW.

Kang Dokyung, Marketing Team Manager at Gmarket, explained, "This event was organized to breathe some life into the cultural industry, which has been stagnant since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), and to encourage customers to watch movies safely."
