On Christmas Eve, a story about visiting a cinema in Gangnam, Seoul and being offended by the smell of vinegar in the theater is causing public outrage.
On the afternoon of the 24th, a post was published on a film community entitled: “I experienced the worst case of COEX Dolby Cinema”.
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. Wanted to enjoy the movie in a place with good video and audio facilities. I endured the hardships of moving for 3 hours.
However, the enthusiasm didn’t last long. This was because an audience member sitting right in front of him started eating what was assumed to be sashimi and noodles as soon as the movie started, ignoring the others.
Mr A said, “I even brought some kind of chojang wheat noodles or noodles and filmed a mukbang drinking for the first two hours.”
He continued, “It was amazing to watch them eat sashimi and even get out of the corner of their eye. I don’t know how many times I vomited from the smell of soy sauce for 3 hours,” she said. Why do they think this is their home and why do they bring sashimi to the theater?
She said, “It was great to see him eating sashimi in front of a lot of people, even staring at him.”
Finally, Mr. A, who complained to the staff after the film ended, said: “I received an advance ticket, but my anger does not subside.”
Netizens who saw the reviews were also shocked. In the comments, “Sashimi? Do you want to feel like you’re on vacation looking at the sea?”, “It’s beyond belief”, “I think I would have been very pissed”, and “It’s just ugly”.
On the other hand, although it was a minority, there were also rebutting comments such as “Nowadays, cinemas sell japchae rice” and “It’s not okay to eat anything as long as it doesn’t bother you while you’re watching a movie?”
Meanwhile, after a corrective action by the Fair Trade Commission in 2008, national cinemas were allowed to bring in outside food.
The multiplex said: ‘It is possible to bring most food into the cinema’, but ‘it is recommended that items that cause discomfort to other customers due to strong odors or foods that may cause security incidents are eaten outdoors before going in. he said.
