Megabox Celebrates Gangnam Branch Renewal Opening
Gift Giveaways and Various Events Held
Offering 2 Hours of Relaxation for Only 1,000 Won
Megabox is holding a large-scale event to celebrate the renewal opening of its Gangnam branch in Seoul. In particular, it is attracting attention by selling recliner seats, where customers can relax comfortably for 2 hours, for only 1,000 won. This is welcome news for office workers who suffer from lack of sleep and fatigue due to frequent overtime and company dinners.
According to Megabox on the 10th, Megabox Gangnam upgraded all 492 seats in its 7 theaters to recliner seats to provide a more comfortable premium viewing environment for audiences. The backrest and footrest can be adjusted to the desired angle, and the wide spacing between seats offers a private space. With this, Megabox Gangnam has become the only theater in the Gangnam Station commercial area with all recliner seats.
To commemorate the renewal opening of the recliner seats at the Gangnam branch, Megabox is also holding a large-scale event. In particular, they planned the ‘Mega Comma’ event where visitors can fully enjoy the comfort of the recliner seats at Megabox Gangnam. From the 17th to the 21st, during lunchtime, one theater will be darkened and set up as a resting space to provide a new spatial experience. Nearby office workers and academy students who need rest can book seats for 1,000 won and relax comfortably in the recliner seats for 2 hours.
Compared to the average 20,000 to 30,000 won price for 2 hours at nearby rest cafes, this is very affordable. Netizens who heard about the event left comments expressing their excitement, such as "Only 1,000 won? That's really amazing," "I want to go during lunch break and pass out," "I'll go throughout the event period," "Those who know will know that movie theaters are really great places for a good nap," "Just lying down will relieve all fatigue," and "It’s a loss not to go."
In addition, starting from the 15th, Megabox is preparing various events such as giving away retro towels on a first-come, first-served basis to moviegoers at the Gangnam branch to celebrate the renewal. For White Day, chocolates will be given to viewers, and there will also be mini popcorn giveaways and an SNS photo certification event where a one-year movie pass will be awarded as a prize. Detailed information about the Gangnam branch recliner seat renewal event can be found on the Megabox website and mobile app.
A Megabox official stated, “We replaced all seats at the Gangnam branch with recliners to provide a more definite and premium movie and spatial experience,” adding, “Megabox plans to gradually expand the application of recliner seats to ensure comfortable viewing for audiences in the future.”
