NEW YORK, April 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Korean Cultural Center New York (KCCNY), a branch of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST) of the Republic of Korea, is pleased to present Korean Movie Night at Home in partnership with JBG Pictures USA, to offer audiences at home the opportunity to access Korean films for a limited run from April 27, 2020 until June 30, 2020 online.
As we support the efforts of social distancing to encourage safety for all, the Korean Movie Night at Home online platform brings audiences a cinematic experience of 10 Korean films from the past five years including blockbuster hits and festival darlings that ranges from sweet melodramas to intense thrillers.
This unique opportunity is a revival of Korean Movie Night New York, one of the most beloved film series hosted by the Korean Cultural Center New York.
