About
A coin karaoke room by Ewha Womans University, rated 4.7 by its regulars.
The pitch here is arithmetic. Most coin karaoke rooms now give you two songs for ₩1,000. At 이화코인노래연습장, reviewers say the same coin buys three or four, and the staff add bonus songs (service 곡) on top. One Kakao Map reviewer called it the textbook coin karaoke and said it is the cheapest and cleanest they have been to. There is no food or drink menu to order from, so the thing to know is how the booths work. These are private coin singing booths, and you pay per room or booth through a coin or automated machine. The machines take cash, both coins and bills. The best rate applies before 5 PM, when you get up to four songs per ₩1,000. After that, expect the rate to be less generous. The dossier does not say what the evening rate is, so check the posted prices when you arrive. What reviewers praise besides the price is upkeep. The place is described as extremely clean and well maintained, and staff are on site to keep it that way. The sound gets its own mention: clear microphones and speakers. A local rumor, repeated in the reviews, says the building owner runs the place directly, which would explain the cheap rates and the long bonus time. It is only a rumor, though. The address is in Daehyeon-dong, in the Ewha area, and the crowd matches: university students, some alone between classes and some in small groups. No wait or reservation is mentioned anywhere, so it looks like a walk-in place. One caveat: a 2021 review mentioned an unfriendly part-time worker, while other feedback describes friendly management. Treat service as a small unknown. The deal itself is simple: ₩1,000 buys three or four songs here, against two elsewhere.
