All over Korea, there are rooms you can rent out for various activities. In Korean, the word “bang” means room. You can find these different bangs all over the city:
The PC Bang-Essentially a computer and video arcade room. Frequented by starcraft playing Koreans of all ages.
The DVD Bang- A private room one can rent out to watch movies with friends or significant others. Often used by teenage couples seeking privacy from their parents.
Noraebang- A private karaoke room that can hold up to 15 people where you can choose among various Korean or western songs. Going to a noraebang is a common activity for friends, families and even business partners. We’ve really enjoyed the noraebang….especially after a few drinks. Here’s a clip from one of our noraebang escapades. There’s nothing like ending your night with a little Alanis Morissette:

Last, and perhaps the most famous bang of all, Big Bang. Big Bang is a beloved Korean pop group. Just for fun, here’s one of their music videos:
