The audience did what they did to the all-time great ‘Kwank’ (a new word meaning an act that obstructs the audience).
On the 10th, several online communities posted angry reviews from viewers who watched ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ at CGV Yongsan I’Park Mall IMAX Pavilion (hereinfollowing referred to as ‘Yong-A-Mac’). This is because the mobile phone of a visitor who had dropped his phone in the previous episode rang five times at 25-minute intervals throughout the movie.
According to one audience member, the mobile phone was in ‘lost mode’ and might not be turned off. As a result, he was unable to immerse himself in the movie, and he was worried regarding when the sound would come back.
At 3:40 a.m. that night (the 11th), a message from an audience who picked up a lost cell phone was posted in the domestic movie community. Acquirer A wrote an article with the title, “(Yongah Mac Ponguank) is so upset that I can’t sleep. CGV-sama”.
Person A said, “About 15 to 20 minutes following the movie started, suddenly, somewhere, there was a sound of a mobile phone, and the person in front informed me that there was a phone below, so I picked it up.” So, in Mr. A’s hand, the cell phone rang 5 times throughout the screening. Person A said, “I was nervous regarding when I was going to cry, my heart was pounding, and I mightn’t concentrate on the movie because it seemed like everyone was cursing me.”
Person A said, “I wanted to inform the owner of the guank phone that there were 600 people who suffered because of you, and I was also angry at the CGV for not cleaning it properly. He took the phone with a genuine look.” Person A said, “I will call the customer center tomorrow and post a review.”
Netizens who saw this commented, “It’s very selfish to keep the Lost Mode notification sounding even when you’re not in the theater, even though you’re not in the theater, but it’s a great disaster”, “It’s a disaster”, “Getting a seat for Yongahmaek these days Stars in the sky It’s a pick-up, but if it was me, I would have thrown away the guank phone because I mightn’t solve it.”
At 9:30 that morning, Mr. A posted a message saying, “The customer service center does not answer calls.” In fact, the current CGV customer center is not connected by phone, and CGV has not made a separate statement regarding this.
‘Yong-A-Mac’ boasts the best large screen in Korea, and is a popular theater that sells out tickets in an instant when reservations start. Tickets for ‘Yong-A-Mac’ are so popular that they are being traded at high prices even on second-hand websites.
