South Korea's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST) announced the weekly expansion of 'Culture Day' (문화가 있는 날) will begin April 1, 2026, but clarified this does not mean all existing monthly benefits—such as movie discounts—will simply repeat every week. The ministry said the program will offer a variety of distinctive weekly cultural events and planned programs to encourage everyday cultural participation, and denied reports that cinema discounts would be doubled to four times a month while keeping the same discount rate. Details on whether reduced-price movie showings will occur and at what frequency remain undecided.
