Watch Movies Cheaply Starting Today
KOFIC Distributes 6,000 Won Movie Ticket Vouchers
1.75 Million Issued... Usable at 487 Theaters Nationwide
Unlike June's Thu-Sun Restriction, Valid Any Day of the Week...
Discount coupons for movie theater admission fees of 6,000 won will be redistributed starting today (the 11th) at 10 a.m. This measure was prepared by the Korean Film Council to encourage the movie-watching campaign "Daily Movie Time." The benefit is two coupons per person per week, the same as in June. Approximately 175 million coupons will be distributed, including 1.47 million coupons worth about 8.8 billion won secured through the third supplementary budget and the remaining unused coupons from the June campaign. These can be used at 487 theaters nationwide, including multiplexes such as CGV, Lotte Cinema, Megabox, CineQ, as well as independent and art film theaters.
CGV, Lotte Cinema, and Megabox issue discount coupons through their respective reservation applications. CineQ automatically applies the discount coupon when booking online. Most multiplexes, independent film theaters, and art film theaters, such as Daehan Theater and Seoul Theater, will apply discounts on-site starting from the 14th, limited to the allocated quantity. Unlike June, when the benefit was limited to Thursday through Sunday, the discount can now be used on any day of the week. However, the coupons distributed on the 11th can only be used from the 14th to the 17th.

The Korean Film Council first distributed discount coupons in June to support the movie industry, which was weakened by the spread of COVID-19. Thanks to this, the number of moviegoers in June more than doubled compared to May (1,526,247 in May to 3,864,543 in June). This served as a catalyst for the continued upward trend, reaching 5,618,828 in the following month.
