They sorta have em in various places in Europe, anyway... just called, "internet cafes". Most places like France and Italy have ones that are pretty expensive and used mainly for communication or education... not video games. But in Poland, they have ones almost exactly like the ones in Korea. And for about the same price. Not quite as common, they are there...

There are internet cafes all over the world. there are computer game rooms all over the world. Some are PC bangish, some are more like Kinkos, some are actaully cafes with some computers.

Koreans aren't the only ones who love online gaming. You should be able to find places almost identical to Korean PC bangs in any Chinatown.

You need to travel more.

There was a cool internet cafe chain in Chicago last time I went back there to visit, called Screenz:

Norabang is called karaoke in Chicago, there's a trend there of "live karaoke"; that is, singing the songs with a house/bar band backing you up:
