CGV to host overnight screenings for BTS fans after Busan concerts

CGV is set to host overnight movie screenings in Busan for BTS fans attending the band’s upcoming concerts in the city this week. 

Three screens at CGV Asiad theater, a 10-minute walk from the concert’s venue, Busan Asiad Main Stadium, will play films throughout the night on Friday and Saturday, in tandem with the band’s Busan "Arirang" world tour shows, according to CJ CGV. Additional screens may open depending on demand. 

At Screen 1, remastered versions of BTS concert films from its London stop of the 2019 world tour "Love Yourself: Speak Yourself" at Wembley Stadium and the 2017 world tour finale, "2017 BTS Live Trilogy Episode III: The Wings Tour The Final," will be screened back-to-back.

At Screen 5, Hollywood director Steven Spielberg’s latest film “Disclosure Day” will be screened, alongside director Yeon Sang-ho’s “Colony” with English subtitles.

At Screen 7, the English-subtitled “Colony” and director Kane Parsons’ “Backrooms” will be screened.

Tickets will be priced at 20,000 won ($13).

"We launched this overnight screening project so that audiences traveling to Busan from across the country and overseas to attend BTS's Busan concert can stay in the city more safely and comfortably,” said Jang Ji-yeon, the head of content operations at CJ CGV.

"We hope this will provide a unique experience that allows audiences to relive the excitement of the concert while also enjoying a variety of content available at Korean cinemas."
