They do. Certain seats in certain theatres supposedly have headphones (or the
equivalent). I've never heard of closed-captioning though. Sometime I'll have
to ask someone I know who works at a deaf school.

Well... I'll stay away from that discussion :)

IIRC, and IYDAK, Korean like some other Asian languages reads from top to
bottom first rather than left to right, or right to left (as is the case with
Lebanese), so they probably have their subtitling system already set up that
way for their own subtitled movies.

Regardless of whether I've been to Korea or not that thought makes me gag
anyway.
