Performing arts and the cinema industry joined forces to draw in viewers, as both have seen a dramatic downturn in ticket sales amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The musical Lost Face 1895, revolving around the unseen side of Empress Myeongseong of the 1392-1910 Joseon Kingdom, will reach out to more audiences nationwide with a filmed version of the stage show to be released on CGV screens.
