[Financial News]  An online debate has erupted over parents who brought a newborn baby to a movie theater.
A post recently appeared on an online community claiming that a couple was seen watching the film 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' with their baby in the theater.
The writer, identified as A, said the couple fed the baby formula and burped the child during the screening.
A also said that when the baby became fussy, the parents asked nearby viewers to move aside and soothed the child under the theater stairs.
A criticized the parents, saying, "Let's not bring a newborn to a movie theater," and added, "If the child is that young, shouldn't they just stay away from the theater?" Based on the situation, A estimated the baby was about four to six months old.
Netizens who read the post also criticized the couple, saying things like, "It makes no sense to bring a baby to a movie theater," and "Isn't it too much to expect to care for a baby and watch a movie at the same time?"
Questions were also raised about movie theater admission rules. Major theaters in South Korea allow infants under 48 months old to enter general screenings for free if they sit in the same seat as a guardian.
As a result, some are calling for a review of the current standard, which allows young children to enter simply by being accompanied by a guardian.
