What Is a PC Bang in Korea? 24-Hour Gaming Cafés Decoded
What is a PC bang in Korea: a gaming café, often open 24 hours, where you rent a fast PC by the hour. Bang (방) just means room, so a PC bang is a PC room, and Korea has them on almost every busy street, usually one floor up, marked by a glowing sign. You walk in, buy time at a kiosk or counter, sit at a high-spec machine with every big game already installed, and order noodles to your seat without getting up.
