CGV announced on the 4th that it will establish a sports climbing gym called 'Pickers' at its Guro branch in Seoul. Pickers is a climbing gym created by converting a screening room. It was first set up and operated at the Piccadilly 1958 branch in January. At that time, it was a self-help measure introduced in response to the downturn in the theater industry caused by the spread of COVID-19. This time, it is an extension of the project pursued after confirming steady popularity. Soojin Oh, head of CGV's Space Content Team, said, "It was frequently mentioned among climbers and received a lot of attention," adding, "We hope more customers will enjoy the fun of climbing."



The second Pickers was created by demolishing screening rooms 3 and 4 at the Guro branch. It offers various courses by utilizing the high ceiling. The scale is large enough to hold bouldering competitions. Bouldering is a game where participants climb several courses about 4 to 5 meters high and compete in rankings based on the number of problems solved and the number of attempts during climbing. CGV described it as "a climbing gym that requires dynamic and energetic movements." For detailed information such as ticket and membership prices, please refer to the CGV mobile application or website.
