Hello!!

Summer vacation has begun, and Korean movies have been released one after another since last week...

Along with this, many "stage greetings" where you can meet the actors are also being held^^

In Korea, "stage greetings" are often held on the release date, the weekend of the release week, and the following weekend.

However, as a recent trend (perhaps because it's summer vacation???),

opportunities for "stage greetings" to be held in large regional cities like Busan and Daegu before the official release seem to be increasing!!

Now, this time, I will briefly explain how to read the schedule,

which is essential for such "stage greetings"!!!

(We often receive inquiries from our customers who don't know how to read them...)

By the way, although it varies depending on the movie,

usually, the stage greeting schedule is released one week before the event date!

(Until this schedule is announced,

there is no way to confirm whether a stage greeting will be held

or which cast members will be appearing.

We often get inquiries weeks in advance, but we don't know!!!!)

<How to read the table>

*종영시: After screening, 시영시: Before screening

It looks like the above.

Let's take one example.

Suppose the movie is 120 minutes (2 hours) long.

For a showtime marked 11:00 (After screening), the stage greeting does not happen at 11:00.

Since the movie is 2 hours long, you can predict that the stage greeting will take place around 13:00.

We often get inquiries like "I want a ticket for a time slot where I can travel" or "I can't travel because the times overlap,"

but unless otherwise noted, the [Attendees (actors)] will appear at every time slot = [Attendees] can move = Viewers can also move.

There are schedules where you cannot move if you are watching the full movie,

but the stage greeting schedule is a schedule table specialized for "stage greetings."

Please do not misunderstand.

That said, if you are inexperienced, you might not grasp the timing for moving and realize the next stage greeting has already started...

I understand the desire to see as many as possible, but

I recommend starting with a small number of sessions at first without pushing yourself.

Otherwise, even if you manage to get a ticket with a stage greeting,

there is a possibility that you might only see the main feature (or not even see the main feature at all)!

Also, the schedule table I used as an example this time is for beginners... *sob*

Actually, sometimes the theaters are not listed in the order of the stage greetings.

<Cast Schedule Example 2> Borrowed from the movie "The Childe" released on June 21st^^

In the schedule above, the stage greetings are held in the order marked with red circles.

When you want to check the order of the theaters for the stage greetings,

please pay attention to the "시영시 (Before screening)" time that comes first within the [Stage Greeting] item for that [Theater].

If you do that, the order of the theaters will naturally become clear... (though it is a hassle).

Basically, the [Screens] within a [Theater] are almost always in order.

Since only the [Theater] order might not be sequential, be sure to check the times~~★

I hope this has made movie stage greetings feel a little more accessible to you♡

Please make good use of our agency services too!!!
