''Bang'' is a romanization of the Korean word 방, meaning "room". In a traditional Korean house, a ''sarangbang'' (Hangul: 사랑방; Hanja: 舍廊房) is the study or drawing room, for example. In modern Korea (especially in the South), the concept of a ''bang'' has expanded and diversified from being merely a walled segment in a domestic space, to including buildings or enterprises in commercial, urban, space, such as a PC bang (an internet café), a noraebang (a karaoke room), sojubang (a soju room, i.e. a pub), manhwabang (a manhwa room, where people read or borrow manhwa) and a jjimjilbang (elaborate Korean public bathhouse). This can be compared with the similar expansion of the concept of a "house" to include upper houses, opera houses, coffee houses, and publishing houses. Phonetically more tensed word ''ppang'' (빵) is used as an abbreviation of a noun ''gambang''〔Generally it is pronounced as ''kkamppang'' (Hangeul: 깜빵).〕 (Hangul: 감방; Hanja: 監房; McCune-Reischauer: ''kambang''), meaning "jail". ==Gallery== Image:KoreanalleryBritishMuseum1.jpg|Traditional Korean ''sarangbang'' (study room).
