On Christmas Eve, a story regarding visiting a movie theater in Gangnam, Seoul and being offended by the smell of vinegar in the theater is causing public outrage.
On the followingnoon of the 24th, a post was posted on a film community with the title, ‘I experienced COEX Dolby Cinema’s worst case.
According to author A, he went to the cinema to watch ‘Avatar: Road of Water’, which will be screened at COEX, Samseong Station, Seoul on the 24th at 2:35 am. He wanted to enjoy the movie in a place with good video and sound facilities. I endured the pain of moving for 3 hours.
However, the excitement did not last long. This is because an audience member sitting right in front of him started eating what was presumed to be sashimi and noodles as soon as the movie started, ignoring the others.
Mr. A said, “I even brought some kind of pasta or wheat noodles to the chojang and filmed a slurping mukbang for the first two hours.”
He continued, “It was amazing to see them eating sashimi while receiving even the corner of their eyes. I don’t know how many times I vomited over the smell of soy sauce for 3 hours,” he said. Why do they think this is their home, and why do they bring sashimi to the theater? I am in a good mood,” he burst into anger.
He said, “It was amazing to see him eating sashimi in front of many people, even staring at it.”
In the end, Mr. A, who complained to the staff following the movie was over, said, “I got one advance ticket, but my anger doesn’t subside.”
Netizens who saw the reviews were also shocked. In the comments, “Sashimi? Do you want to feel like you are on vacation while looking at the sea?”, “It’s beyond imagination”, “I think I would have been very pissed off”, and “It’s just ugly”.
On the other hand, although it was a minority, there were also comments that refuted such as “These days, movie theaters sell japchae rice” and “Isn’t it okay to eat anything as long as it doesn’t bother you while watching a movie?”
Meanwhile, following corrective measures by the Fair Trade Commission in 2008, domestic movie theaters were allowed to bring food from outside.
The multiplex movie theater said, “It is possible to bring most food into the theater,” but “it is recommended that items that cause discomfort to other customers due to strong smells or foods that may cause safety accidents should be eaten outside before entering.” said.
