About this listen

Today, we’re exploring Korea’s unique 'room (방/bang) culture,' which began with the gibang and sarangbang of the past.

We’ll take a look at various 'rooms' that became popular across different eras

—comic book cafés (manhwabang), singing rooms (noraebang), PC rooms, jjimjilbang, multi-rooms, and more—

and learn why this room-based culture developed so strongly in Korea.
