==Social aspect== PC ''bang'' industry has created a culture that is participated in by most youth in South Korea. Gamers have turned the PC ''bang'' into a socialization facility, becoming a huge part in the lives of South Korean youths today. Many students have suggested that the PC-Bang provides a stress free, fun and youth dominated environment where groups of friends can meet and engage in a cooperative game. They have suggested that the games themselves may promote a social environment by promoting the development of squads or groups of players to play the game more effectively.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last1=Stewart|first1=Kym|last2=Choi|first2=Hyewon Park|date=2003-01-03|title=PC-Bang (Room) Culture: A Study of Korean College Students' Private and Public Use of Computers and the Internet|journal=Trends in Communication|volume=11|issue=1|pages=63β79|doi=10.1207/S15427439TC1101_05|issn=1383-8857}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite thesis|title=Informatization of a nation: A Case Study of South Korea's Computer Gaming and PC-Bang Culture|url=http://summit.sfu.ca/item/8656|publisher=Communication, Art and Technology: School of Communication, Simon Fraser University|date=2004|degree=unpublished master|language=en|first=Kym|last=Stewart|place=Burnaby, British Columbia}}</ref>
