JYJ’s documentary ‘The Day’ will be shown in Lotte Cinema’s 17 locations starting Feb 23 2012.
One company’s incredible mistake is another company’s gain, as Lotte will not only show the doc but also plan to have an event with JYJ on opening day in Seoul.
Earlier, CGV seemingly punked out on a previous obligation to show the documentary in their theaters after agreeing to do so, according to CJeS (the company that manages JYJ).
After CGV claimed there wasn’t a final deal while CJeS busted the company by giving a blowbyblow of what happened.
According to a translated report of CJeS’s statement:
On December 2011, we had an initial agreement. Then on January 16 we had a second meeting. Then on January 19 a press release was sent out that reviews over the contract were finished. We received a contract with a seal on it, January 20. However, on January 20, we received a call from CGV that the final approval was not given and that the contract had to be done all over again.
Fans were so miffed that some were planning a boycott of CGV. However, the news that the doc will be shown have fans at Twitter totally ecstatic, needless to say.
