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>{{cite book |last=Clark |first=Donald |date=2000 |title=Culture and Customs of Korea}} </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 --></ref>

Often the last stop after a night of alcohol-lined entertainment for youths and businesspeople alike <ref> ''Huffington Post'' 10/29/2013</ref> <ref> ''Korean New Zealand Business Council <!-- retrieved December 7, 2015 --></ref>, noraebangs are also a favorite family pastime, and many are surprisingly dry venues. <ref > ''Korea.net'' 7/16/2014</ref> People also frequent noraebangs as a form of stress relief, and some noraebangs cater to those who seek to sing alone. <ref> ''Korea Herald'', 2/12/2014</ref>

Redirect to:

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
  • From a related word or phrase: This is a redirect from a word or phrase (term) to a page title that is related in some way. This redirect might be a good search term, or it could be a candidate for a Wiktionary link.
    • Redirects from related words are not properly redirects from alternative spellings of the same word. They are also different from redirects that are subtopics or related topics, because unlike those, a related word or phrase probably does not warrant its own subtopic section in the target page or possess the possibility of ever becoming an article, template, project page, and so forth.
  • To a related topic: This is a redirect to an article about a similar topic.
    • Redirects from related topics are different than redirects from related words, because a related topic is more likely to warrant a full and detailed description in the target article. If this redirect's subject is notable, then also tag it with {{R with possibilities}} and {{R printworthy}}.
  • With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
    • This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Misplaced Pages (use {{R with old history}} instead).
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
