Internet cafes, known as PC Bangs, are a common occurrence throughout the average South Korean city landscape. They're similar to British and American internet cafes, but most cater more to online game playing for the younger generation of Koreans. On average, use of a PC Bang is priced at around 1,000 Won per hour (about 80 cents USD). Lately, however, the popularity of the PC Bang has dwindled, mostly due to the abundance of broadband internet connections in Korea.

In Korean, "Bang" (방) means room, so the term literally means a room or place for a PC. The meaning room is not exactly accurate; see Bang.
