[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] The sharp spread of the COVID-19 variant Omicron continues fiercely. Who could have predicted this? There are no other variables. Movies that struggled to confirm their release during the Lunar New Year holiday and have been running vigorously have put up their signs in theaters as scheduled to keep their promise with the audience. The cast and directors plan to take the stage to express their gratitude on the first weekend.

On the 26th, the movies "The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure" (director Kim Jeong-hoon) and "Kingmaker" (director Byun Sung-hyun) were released simultaneously, and singer Jang Min-ho, whose "Jang Min-ho Drama Final Episode" was released on the 24th, will each hold stage greetings on their opening weekends.

From the 29th, each movie will diligently visit theaters in Seoul. The cast of "The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure," including Kang Ha-neul, Han Hyo-joo, Kwon Sang-woo, Park Ji-hwan, and director Kim Jeong-hoon, will hold stage greetings in Seoul on the 29th and 30th. Starting from CGV Wangsimni on the 30th, they will meet audiences at Lotte Cinema Konkuk University, CGV Gangbyeon, Lotte Cinema World Tower, and Megabox COEX, after visiting Lotte Cinema Gimpo Airport, Megabox Mokdong, CGV Yeongdeungpo, Lotte Cinema Yeongdeungpo, and CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall on the 29th.

The cast of "Kingmaker," including Seol Kyung-gu, Lee Sun-kyun, and director Byun Sung-hyun, will hold stage greetings on the 29th and from the 1st to the 2nd of next month. On the 29th, they will appear at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall, CGV Wangsimni, Megabox Seongsu, Lotte Cinema Konkuk University, Lotte Cinema World Tower, and Megabox COEX. On the 2nd of next month, they will hold stage greetings at CGV Yeongdeungpo, Lotte Cinema Yeongdeungpo, CGV Yeouido, and Lotte Cinema Hongdae Entrance.

Singer Jang Min-ho plans to visit CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall and CGV Yeongdeungpo on the 30th to express his gratitude. He will appear on four showings at each location to greet the audience.

A film industry official stated, "We will strictly follow quarantine guidelines while conducting the stage greetings. We also plan to minimize internal personnel to move safely." He added, "Since the safety of the audience and actors visiting the site is important, all actors and staff on stage will wear masks, and thorough disinfection inside the theaters will be carried out."
