The bars, restaurants and karaoke places near Ilsan Beach.

Karaoke is rarely done on a stage in South Korea. It is usually performed in NoRaeBangs, which are private song rooms for you and your friends.

Please notice the 80's Madonna themed noraebang on the second floor

more song rooms on the 2nd & 3rd floors
