According to a survey conducted in South Korea in 2023, only eight percent of respondents stated that they had visited a PC bang at least once within the last year. This represents a further decrease from the previous year's decline. PC bangs have likely been impacted by coronavirus (COVID-19) regulations as well as a rise in households purchasing gaming and other entertainment-related items for home use.
