Any guesses what noraebang means?
In some of the east Asian countries especially in Seoul,
South Korea, people are crazy about singing songs in mike with speaker
system. They have lot of places like our internet browsing centers which
will have separate rooms with speaker system and lyrics book for Korean
and English songs. A small group if people can go there and spend their
time after paying on hourly basis. They also serve soju and other
drinks with snacks and dinner based on the order. People like to spend
their time in these rooms happily singing songs throughout the night.
They call this place as Noraebang which in Korean means song room.

When I was in Seoul, I went to a noraebang with my
colleagues over there. It was a nice room with a display system to
display the lyrics. We can search for a song and select to play the
music and display lyrics. Then pick up the mike and sing the song. After
couple of songs sung by my colleagues they asked me to sing a song. I
told them I do not know English songs. They asked me again. Suddenly I
remembered the song sung by vadivelu in a Tamil movie - sing in the
rain, I want more in the rain... I told them this song and we searched
for it. It was available and we all sang that song
