Nore Bang (노래 방) is literally translated "singing room." I thought i would devote a short post to one. While in Seoul we visited a Nore Bang. Basically you pay a small amount for 15, 30, or even 60 minutes and have unlimited access to the karaoke equipment. You would think it would stop there. But no. In the room you will find microphones (usually cordless so as not to hinder dancing) song book with English and Korean tunes, lights, the occasional disco ball, and of course some big speakers. Most Koreans go for parties. Karaoke and alcohol are a bad combination. You can usually hear people blasting the latest K-pop or classic 80's rock. It is awesome. I decided to show a few pictures. I hope you enjoy. :)
Crystal,
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying reading about your adventures in Korea and I'm totally jealous about this singing room place - sounds FANTASTIC!
*Just wanted to make sure you knew it wasn't just your sister reading :)
Looks like fun, and sounded kind of... scary (even though I doubt seriously that you were drinking!) LOL! I have some videos of Miles that you'll like. I just have to upload them. :)
ReplyDeletehaha Thanks Sara. Yeah I was beginning to worry if it was only her and my mother in law. :) Thanks! My favorite rendition of the night was our friend, Ryan's, solo of the milkshake song coupled with some awesome dance moves. I was forbidden by him to post it. :)
ReplyDeletePut the miles videos up already Jenn. Dad keeps trying to send me some but he keeps sending me 3 second clippings.
