SEOUL, Jan. 17 (Korea Bizwire) — South Korea’s leading cinema chain CJ CGV is introducing a sports climbing gym at CGV Piccadilly 1958 located in Seoul’s Jongno District.
The movie theater is being remodeled into a sports facility to cater to the demand for health and diversification of the multiplex industry in the pandemic era.
The movie theater was able to accommodate a sports climbing facility thanks to its high ceiling, obviating the need to engage in a heavy construction overhaul.
CGV has been testing its theaters to accommodate game centers, lecture halls, online wedding halls and concert halls to adjust to the dwindling number of moviegoers.
