'Evangelion' First Movie Finally Officially Released in Korea

〈Evangelion〉 series' first movie is finally being released in Korea.

CGV announced that it will hold the 'Evangelion 30th Anniversary Movie Festival' from October 2025 to March 2026 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the 〈Evangelion〉 series. The main focus of this movie festival is to sequentially re-screen the movies of the 〈Evangelion〉 series, and it has garnered attention by selecting 〈Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death & Rebirth〉 as the first screening.

〈Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death & Rebirth〉 is a movie released in 1997 that added new episodes to the overall content of the TV animation 〈Neon Genesis Evangelion〉. It has never been officially released in Korea, so it is better known by the title 'Death & Rebirth' as indicated in the work rather than its subtitle 'Death & Rebirth'.

CGV will screen 〈Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death & Rebirth〉 starting October 30, and later it will continue to screen 〈The End of Evangelion〉 and the 4-part 〈Rebuild of Evangelion〉 series.
