- Internet cafe(aka PC bang) is a place where you can pay to use a gaming PC. While it is mainly for playing games, they also have AMAZING food, comfortable seats, and super friendly staffs. It is simply so awesome to spend time in there, that you almost don't want to leave.
In this video, I visit an internet cafe for the first time in almost a decade, and find out why a lot of Koreans are obsessed with internet cafes.

as a european i have to say i miss the time when there were still internet cafes here and i went there with friends to play cs 1.6. that's why i feel the statement of playing together so much
The internet boom really fucked internet cafes. Only Asian countries have them nwoadays.. I miss playing LAN games with my friends. Very different feeling vs today (which is a grind)
Bro i miss it also today all have jobs and stuff
I was.just about to say the same thing, where's the other customers here tho, or was this a private booking lol
Those were the days damn
You don't have internet cafes anymore?
As an American, I wish that there were cafes like this where I live, seems like a super easy way to meet people with the same hobbies while getting a bite to eat!
playing with strangers in person is really that great and fun
@@newdiary6978 I wish that the USA would do something like this. The only kind of close thing was when I was in Las Vegas, one of the hotels had like a gaming arena for competitive gaming it was cool to experience. Gamers and nerds alike have a hard time making friends in public...
The only way this kind of thing would work is with super strict rules that everyone is willing to follow.
Things like not making loud noises and bothering ppl around them.
Keeping things clean before you leave.
no smoking / drugs inside.
etc
There are these kings of things in Brooklyn idk where you from but it sounds like you missing out
@@jacobroa6912 maybe some states didnt have these kind of cafes
Being an American, I couldn't understand why internet cafe's have remained so popular in certain areas. Thank you for shedding light on the subject, in South Korea! With the friendly atmosphere, food, and great prices, I have to try this for myself!
i lived in daegu for two years and ALL my money went to pc bangs back when i was younger. that was so long ago, i didnt imagine korea would still have them around. glad to see people are still enjoying them!
Those two ladies were real champions! Huge shoutout to Seulbi and Seoyeon 😊
wholesome interaction pogg
are you that apex legend guy or my eyes blurry.
@@bioy2646 yes he's Timmy's brother Jimmy
@@Iloverapingwomen no wayyy
@3am music also seulbis please, she seems realy nice
Seulbi explained it well. Playing with friends side by side is way different than talking via headset. I remember setting up an alarm every weekend to meetup with friends and go to PC Cafes to play DOTA or Counter Strike.
Man I miss those days, playing dota 2 with friends on lan and trash talking the other team.
@@m4kamran008 Back then we play the OG dota on WC around 2008-2010 and Counter Strike 1.3.
Yep did the same when i was young. We played Half-Life and CS 1.5 and there was only like 15pcs so people waited hours for someone to go home so they can play :D I remember it was 1 dolar for an hour like 18years ago.
@@czar7951 1.3 in 2010? Why when 1.6 and source was already out for years :D
@@ThePianistONE We're more familiar with 1.3 even after CSGO we occasionally play 1.3.
Thanks for this video! It really brought back a lot of happy memories.
And you really nailed it-- playing together with friends in a Café feels a lot better than playing alone at home.
I remember in like middle to high-school, when me and my brother first discovered about gaming pc cafes, We used to save our lunch money from school, so that we could afford for a taxi-ride, play time and for food as well, we didn't have proper set-ups at the time, and internet-cafes weren't super popular as they are now, but it sure did create a lot of memories for us... Fun times
sounds like me and my brother lol, priceless memories!
My brother abused me but i liked it?
Wait how do i delete a comment please don’t tell my parents that i liked it
@@gay4pay882 need help?
nice pfp
This was very wholesome.
Those ladies were very nice.
Very pleased you took the time to do this and share it with us online.
only iof youz are an influncer...otherwise you get the normal stuff ;P = no stuff
havent noticed the spontanious "part time workers"?
Internet cafes in Korea are still alive and well, but as time goes on, their enthusiasm is waning little by little. The biggest reason is that as the average computer specification in Korea has increased, it is possible to enjoy games together while talking on the phone with friends through Discord at home with better computers than Internet cafe. In fact, if you want to play popular games like LoL, PUBG, or OW2 with your friends, you don't even need a high-end computer. (Like GTX 1060 3GB)
Good to see that our Uncle Jimmy's channel is gathering steam and getting the huge number of views he deserves for the excellent and wholesome content.
Honestly this place looks like the perfect place to enjoy using and playing on PCs! Everything is so well designed and convenient.
LOVED THIS VIDEO! not gonna lie, the music really set the happy emotions for me jimmy so good editing. did not realized i was smiling throughout the video until it ended hahah. i really liked how chill the video is and informative it was and also the two ladies were very nice and polite. really up the quality this time jimmy good job! can't wait for the next video!
Those two girls were really awesome!!! And I'm glad that you liked this video. I am still experimenting with my editing style
i am 1/2 korean in the US and always wanted to visit my familys home land, so far i havent been able to. Maybe one day! but this was an awesome look into another part of life in korea! Great Video Love It!
There's an internet cafe culture here in Greece as well and even though many of the services are similar to Koreas, some are just mind-blowing.
They make some (pizza, sandwiches etc.) food and beverages but this legit cooking you have in Korea is amazing, I wish to try it sometime. Great video btw 🙏🏼🙏🏼
In the Philippines, we also have Internet Cafes. A few years back, I still hangout with my friends in an internet cafe even though we had our own pc and own internet connection at home. Its always like this since I was in high school, then college and even when I had starting working already. It's always better to play in friends. Losing and winning together. It's just something many people do not understand. When COVID hit, I think most internet cafes closed. I can see some of them opening up again. I hope the next generation of gamers get to experience what we had experienced. This video bring back memories.
Going to these internet cafes as a teenager is priceless!
Don't sum all of filipinos go to an internet cafe even if they have their own PC with internet.
@@NZeiram what are you trying to say?
@@NZeiram He literally stated his opinion stop starting shit up
It hits different to play with friends at internet cafes, than playing at home while talking together at discord! But the most fun thing about our internet cafes in the Philippines is the noise that we make and the trashtalks 😂
Ahhh I miss going to the PC방 with my friends when I was in Korea - but the one you went to seems quite a bit better than the one I went to hahaha
Yeah it seems that they are getting better every year! The food got sooooo much better than how I remember it.
what why are there no replies?? it's chase crossing?????? @O#YR(!&*@$^%(&!@#Y)%@
@@jimmykimtv The one I visited was literally a dormitory lol
I’m seriously impressed with how professional it all is. How’s it all laid out; how you pay for the PC; how you order food; how the food is delivered and presented etc.
As a TH-camr who always stays inside my house, this kind of internet cafe kinda gives me a reason to go out and visit the place. This is incredible.
I remember going to internet cafés here in the Philippines when I was a kid, there is definitely no food at all but getting to see other gamers enjoy playing DOTA while I quietly play GTA V on the PC brings back so many memories. Might have to visit one of these PC Bangs when I get to visit Seoul! Glad to see you back uncle!! 🥺✨
philippines internet cafes in the early days were like warzones where everyone's shouting and trashtalking each other over a DOTA /SF game. fun times
@@jrdeasis2156 don't forget the comsatters looking at your monitor while you are minding your own gameplay.
@@cr1spyxl593 + occasional brawl when the bet money's stolen
@@jrdeasis2156 similar to my indonesian internet cafes its so chaotic, dark , humid, smokey and the smell of the headphones.... perfection
@@jrdeasis2156 I got sick once and had to stay home so I couldn't play with my friends. That day a fight broke out and my friends recorded it, the one day I get sick and I miss out on watching a fight.
Really liking the IRL videos you've been pushing out and creating... Look like you've been doing this sort of content creation for years even though you've just started the channel recently, gladly expecting there is more to come...💯
Edit: Maybe visit and check out another PC Bang in Korea but at night, more of you just chilling, gaming, exploring and giving us a tour..? Out of the most recent videos you've put out this has to be my most favoured, something about the vibe you bring and the PC bangs atmosphere go hand in hand and is very pleasant..
I will think about that!
Just helping that algorithm. Wish you all the success man! Great production and very entertaining. I love Korean people, the culture and food. It's the hidden gem of the world.
Woah! This is incredibly mesmerizing! Loving the urban vibes of that café and I hope to experience roller-skating in the metaverse space of Metarollers.
I worked at an internet cafe from 2002-2004. Best job ever. Counter-Strike 1.3 was our most popular game and we had 3 servers running it. Used to charge $2/hr. Miss that place everyday.
Our cafe wasn't quiet by any means. We played music from our log-in computer (I played Trance and worked the graveyard shift to keep people playing longer). As far as food, we had snacks and a soda vending machine.
Growing up in SEA, Internet Cafes after classes are A MUST experience for any kid here. The memories of your group of friends playing side by side, shouting callouts or bantering, it's some of the best. Yeah, it's literally just sitting in front of a monitor clicking a kb and mouse but goddamn those are very enjoyable and memorable hours of fun.
I can relate! It was very relevant in Korea too
Mineski?
I just went to your old channel to watch some videos because I saw you in my subscriptions list and I remembered you, I'm soo happy this channel is going soo well you deserve it, I stoped watching your old channel because I get tired of valorant but I alwais thinked your channel was soo underated, im just soo happy you can finally got the attention you deserve
Really cool to see, thanks for the video, nice job!
This was extremely entertaining and i'm surprised this doesn't have more views. please keep making more content like this :)
I'm glad to see your new channel doing so well Jimmy!
There’s still a long way to go! Hope your channel BLOWS UP, too ☺️
@@jimmykimtv Dude for sure, keep going man your content is super good and worth watching, keep it up 🙏
@@xtrval yoooo xtr
Kinda miss playing in an internet cafe together with my gang of friends. I used to do that a lot back in the day even though the facilities are nowhere as good as my house's or Korea's internet cafes, but it was amazing to just simply have fun and laugh together like that. Discord just can't really replicate that feeling.
I literally came across your channel last night. I ended up watch all of your videos because you were just too funny and more importantly very likeable. Your content is super great. I have plans to go to South Korea sometime in the future and look forward to experiencing the culture and lifestyle over there. Overall your channel is really damn good. I'm going to recommend your channel to all my friends. Please keep making content. Sending love from America.
Thank you, my American friend!!!!
This is the dream! Here in the Philippines we have something similar but not this much well-prepared and great food. We only have instant noodles and some canned drinks. I look forward to trying PC bangs when I travel to South Korea! 👏🏼
Actually meron dito sa Pinas. Sa bandang Vito Cruz Makati. Nakapg next shop akonng ganito.
Meron talaga class S at Class A pababa lods
@@mynamenameless6265 thanks for sharing this information
Same here in Indonesia (warnet: warung internet)
Due to computers getting better, warnets has 2 options: die, or being a game center
@@mynamenameless6265 what's the name of the place?
Eyy you finally did the Internet cafe visit, we were just talking about it when you were in BK! The Internet Cafe there seems so much nicer than what we have here and oh boi the food looks delish after a gaming session!
This is the best food I've seen in a PC bang (even from photos)!
@@jimmykimtv Seulbi and Seoyeon are MVPs, they are the unsung heroes of that cafe! Part time cook/staff must be tiring in a busy day there
This is really cool,thanks for sharing this i love that you translate everything into english! hope to see more content like this.
Great video man! I subscribed and look forward to seeing more of your content.
this is genuinely very entertaining I hope this gets a lot more traction soon!
I’m glad you found it interesting !!!
One of the most genuine interactions I have seen in a TH-cam video, can we get more of these types of videos please. Keep up the good work Jimmy!
its so obviously staged
@@nickszns what exactly is staged ?
@@nickszns please explain.
@@hisammy3969 It just seems so weird because the place is empty and it looks planned it out
JIMMY 😭😭😭 I was shocked when I saw this video now has 1.2 MILLION VIEWS! I was here when you first started this second channel and began experimenting with content. I just came back here to say I am immensely proud of you! All your hardwork and creative content ideas are paying off!!! I am over the moon as one of your earlier followers ❤️❤️❤️ congratulations!
1:17 I recognize those keycaps. I can absolutely see why they would use them, they're some of the only ones that are extremely glossy out of the box (clear ABS) which also makes them easiest to wipe down to clean/sanitize.
This was such a cool video! I wish I'd get to go into such amazing pc cafes
This looks amazing! Internet cafes sure have come far.
It really has! So different from how I remember it
This made me reminisce about my childhood. My friends and I use to go to the Internet cafes and just play cs1.6 for hours. This cafe is way beyond what we had, but we still had so much fun!
God, South Korea looks so clean! The fact they made all of your food by hand is amazing, especially the amount of munchies you got for $18. Also I was amazed by how clean their cooking oil was when they made that pikachu cutlet! It would be a dream to make one of these over here in America.
loving the variety vlogs Jimmy, keep it up!
Glad you like them!
I love this video, it's very interesting. I look forward to your videos and seeing you grow your TH-cam career !!
Thank you my friend!
This reminds me of the old days. I, my friends, and classmates used to go to computer shops after classes and on weekends throughout high school and college. Computer shops these days are much more advanced and convenient. Back in the day, we used to pay for reservations of the PC unit while we eat somewhere outside of the shop. Now you can order food in the shop and eat it inside as well! This video reminded me of the good old days. I wonder where the friends I made during these times are now? It is nostalgic. Thank you for sharing this video.
Great video! Really enjoyed it
I am so glad theres so many SOMEWHERE in the world. Back when I lived in China I couldn’t find much. This is so affordable and cool, and I might check it out myself one day. Thanks for making this video!!!
You should try!!
I think net cafes are huge in China now
@@Ericthefilo there are a decent amount of them, but the quality doesn’t even come close to this
Great video Jimmy! Love this format
Thanks 😊
You have earned another subscriber! Love ur vids!
PC bangs are cool but can be off-putting for non-Korean speakers because there is often a total lack of language options on the PC's making it inaccessible to 98% of the world. The staff are generally cool and can help you but PC bangs in Vietnam, Thailand or even Japan are easier to use because they always have a clear language change option on the login screen. Would help a lot.
jimmy i love these videos idk why but these make me feel so much better i hope people understand this is a way better way to make a videos then valorant on my opinion! keep it up !
Thanks my friend! Keep watching haha
What makes me sad is that PC Shops here in the Philippines are shutting down due to the on going Pandemic, I really love the culture of playing games with random people, it really helped me develop my communication skills and overcome my shy attitude. When I have time to go to Korea, I'll definitely go to PC Bangs to play for hours!
ongoing? wtf?
Uhm no the pandemic is not the main cause. It's just that most kids nowadays are already satisfied playing games on their mobile phones, and cellphones can do a lot now, so an internet cafe is not really an ideal business to hold on to. Plus some other reasons. Wifi vendo is more profitable.
@@ririn6679 What pandemic?
@@permacultureecuador2925 I wasn't talking 2 u
You need more love man AMAZING!
I really enjoyed watching this video, great content 😁
Muy buen vídeo hermano. Me hizo recordar a los viejos tiempos en los que no podia permitirme tener una pc y me la pasaba en un Internet Cafe, fueron buenos tiempos, mucha diversión y buenos amigos. Por cierto escribo este comentario en español para que veas lo lejos que está llegando este vídeo. xD
holyyyy the food looks amazing, its making me so hungry 🤤🤤 great video as always uncle jimmy!!
Thanks buddy! I loved the food too!! I already miss it
love this kind of content uncle jimmy
I used to go to a places like this, but not anymore when i got myself a good gaming pc
now im always at home doing all my gaming business, but i will never forget how fun it was to play
at these cafes with your friends and eat good food that's why its one of the best experience.
I remember going to Internet cafes in my country Armenia. We would play multiplayer shooters, Medal of Honor, counter strike. There were two rooms, rooms would play against each other, and there were no coms, so everyone was just shouting. It was fun 😁
Here in the US, $18 for a meal like that would be awesome and uncommon!
You're deffinately getting great service for the price- I've been to places that charged a lot more for a lot less lol
Enjoyed your video. Keep it up. 😊
Spent so many of my earlier years in an internet cafe. Loved every moment!
I love seeing this internet cafe content because I have good memories of internet cafes in my high school years. Since now I'm a full-time employee at IKEA, sometimes I give myself a chance to come back and play again in internet cafe when I'm off to work, but it feels so different and I didn't feel the same way before I'm playing. I used to play for 5-6 hours a day, playing only League of Legends with friends. And now I'm almost giving up in 2-3 matches. I want to play again but the responsibilities first because of adulthood and got bills to pay and mouths to feed. And now I am playing my own game life :(
Haha i can relate! Endless hours of gaming days are behind me too
its a natural pc cafe cycle, as you get older friends starts to come less frequently and eventually everyone will have their own life
Yes PC bangs are for people who want to shout at their friends, it brings that LAN party vibe. But it's also for introverts who like the feeling of human energy around them but don't have to actually talk or interact with them. It gets you out of the house/tiny apartment. It's social osmosis.
got damn, you're so chill. your videos can put me to sleep but in a good way. subbed, liked and off to another one
this seems like a very comfortable place! i miss internet cafes, they were so magic
Nostalgia crazy! Me and my friends used to stay overnight at our local internet cafe 10+ years ago. We were able to order food, but mainly small cold snacks and drinks.
I just want to feel that nostalgic rush again, just one more time 😭😭😭
You can still go with friends!
More vlogs in restaurants and cafes please jimmy 😻
I’ll try!
Really nice video man, I enjoyed it. Hope I can visit Korea one day :)
man you are so lucky :D , great video thumbs up !
During my time in South Korea , whenever there was a public holiday I'd go to a PC Room , even though the food was not healthy , somehow I'd spend 12 hours there and have both my lunch and dinner there as well, good times :)
the amount of work and quality of service they offer in this cafe is amazing I just hope you tipped them well because they both really deserve it
We don't have tipping in Korea...
@@jimmykimtv really ??? but how and why lol
@@tarekaziz5584 there is expected good standard customer service and the tipping implies that they did a bad job, probably? It is considered rude haha
@@iBebiehxDoLL i see , i love how it works there like for real , thank you for your reply
In Asian countries, everyone are paid by their employer. Not like in U.S where workers rely on their tips and barely able to earn money off of it
It's wonderful to see this gaming culture continue in south korea at least.
Here in New Zealand we had a big internet cafe gaming culture 20 years ago, but now that most people have good internet and comptuers at home most places have closed and it's died away.
When I was young internet cafes were such a social place, I met so many of my life long friends there. We would go out and do other social activies afterwards too.
Good on you Koreans! Keep it up!
Great content and wow nice and wholesome personality from all involved
$1 for an hour? That's an amazing deal especially with how clean and comfortable the place looks.
Even more amazing considering how expensive South Korean cities are
for 1$ we usually can play all night on most cafes here
@@iikatinggangsengii2471 That's awesome. It would be one hell of a place to get in some studying too during quiet hours.
just want to let you know that the THUMBNAILS are absolutely doing their job. they made me click every single time.
Thank you! I am still experimenting different styles!
from Scotland been watching your videos for a while and really makes me want to visit Korea.
I need more content Jimmy!! Can't wait to come over 2024
So here's what got my attention through out the video:
At 5:14 one of them, Seulbi or Seoyeon or both of them, are watching Taeyeon's MV, INVU, I like Taeyeon too.
And my god the Internet Cafe there at South Korea is SO MUCH better than some of our internet cafes here in my country, and when I go to South Korea I will definitely visit that internet cafe, 100%
So Seoyeon is Bronze, LOL same 😆
Also, uncle Jimmy I just ate my breakfast and when the food you ordered arrived, I swear to god I was hungry again TvT
Anyway, good video as always uncle Jimmy :3
You should go there for food!
@@jimmykimtv definitely :))
Man, I would love to go to a pc bang someday... Mostly just for the food🤤
haha it will be worth it
Nah you gotta do both otherwise go to a normal korean restaurant they got better food. Gaming and food combined makes the experience of the PC bang special.
Found this absolutely randomly, but wth this is very cool, and dang, this food looks so good
Your voice acting is hilarious. Very entertaining! I lol'd at the "mild flavoured Pikachu."
Internet Cafes are also really popular in Turkey (there are about 30000 cafes) so I was very surprised when I learned that people in Korea also have this. It seems that Koreans and Turks are really similar as people also say that the languages are far but from the same root.
We had these kind of cafes since 90s.
@@user-qn7dy4sp4k that’s cool, the first one in Turkey was apparently opened in 1995
As an American the closest thing we had to this were arcades. Idk if we have any but I know people would rather play at home. This is an awesome little place. A dollar per hour is an amazing rate. Plus the food? Wow
yea, in the philippines right now, the arcade's where we're at cause many comshops closed cause of the lockdowns :(
i'm mainly in a community on maimai, pretty fun and exhausting game i must say :p
The US is too rural and with the advent of pcs and game consoles, making people enjoy time at home. I believe arcades are the closet we would get like at a mall, FAR away..., or "lan" parties, the fortunate ones. High density areas are more lucky, as these ideas are more accessible, like korea, japan, etc.
Hey man I went to a smaller one of these in Arizona once! My pc was broke and it was pretty cool.
Bro you make good content
I also like you narrating through the journey
i had a own pc back then but i always chose to play in a internet cafe nothing beats that feeling when you are playing with your friends
miss those days lol :D
I spent my youth on computer shops (that's what we call them here). It's definitely way better playing there with friends. The longest time I played without going home was like 3 days, no shower and we call that "Tutong". Hahahaha~
Dang 3 days? I think my longest was like 7 hours
@@jimmykimtv Oh wow :0
5:05 she has never touched grass on gang
Nice energy bro, cool video.
This looks like a lot of fun seulbi was so friendly looks like a great friend to be with
its a very memorable experience growing up in internet cafe's when I was in Highschool no matter what occasion is, Even if its My birthday me and my friends are always on internet cafes playing dota and stuff 😆 I remember playing 14 hours straight on my birthday it was one of the best days of my life ❤️❤️❤️
im korean and lives in cali and im visitjng korea i love the country
Korea is awesome! California is awesome too
Jimmy! I saw you are playing Warcraft 3! That is my favorite game, and thought that not many people play! If you ever need someone to play with, I'm your guy! Also I love your videos!
Great review of Korean PC Bang bro 👍
I WANT TO GO THERE sad that I can't buy a ticket rn 😞
In brazil in the past we had "lan house" is the same experience but not too luxury like this Korean Cafe but very funny too, unfortanelly places like this one doesn't exists anymore for a long time. good memories, funny moments!!
was so cool for me to see a internet cafe in korea as a Middle eastern , keep it up jimmy , was amazing👋
During my time in South Korea, I have spent countless Saturday nights in the PC rooms due to the ambience of gaming, good food, and very capable computers for anything. It was about 1.00 per hour and I was able to play my favorite games as well as you can utilize Steam and other gaming clients. I wish they had a PC room culture in the US.
This Dude says he old😂 Looks Like 20 To me
