한국영화 영문자막 서비스 > 용산CGV

CGV Yongsan in central Seoul will devote a screen to the exclusive showing of popular domestic movies with English-language subtitles, an unprecedented move by a movie theater. ``It's to serve the many foreigners in Korea who want to watch Korean films. They won't have to wait for DVDs with English-language subtitles anymore,'' Chong Choe from CJ Entermatinment's International Strategy team told The Korea Times. The country's largest motion picture studio, CJ Entertainment and multiplex theater giant CGV have teamed up for this long-term project, and will begin with ``A Man Who Was Superman,'' starring high-profile actors Jeon Ji-hyeon (`My Sassy Girl's'' Gianna Jeon) and Hwang Jung-min (``Happiness''). Coming to CGV Yongsan Jan. 31, it will have regular showings for the entire duration of the film's run in Korea. For the time being, there will be seven showings per day through Feb. 4.
