A '''noraebang''' (Korean: 노래방) refers to a singing venue in South Korea where private sound-proof rooms are available for rent, equipped for singing – typically microphones, remote controls, a large video screen, couches, and mood décor such as disco lights and tambourines. The term noraebang is a Korean compound word, blending norae (노래 - song) and bang (방 - room). <ref> ''International TEFL Academy'', Jan 20, 2013 </ref> It is the regional equivalent to the ] in Japan. Sometimes even tourist serve as noraebangs <ref>, ''Let's Travel Korea^^'', 1/3/2014</ref>. |

Koreans love to sing, and singing is an essential part of social life in Korea, where people will perform, and be persuaded to perform, an impromptu song at virtually any social occasion. <ref> As such, noraebangs are popular and widespread, often identifiable by bright neon signs with musical notes or microphones.<ref> ''USA Today'' <!-- retrieved December 7, 2015 --> |
