Why do PC room chairs have no back support? I mean, who designs a chair that way?

Cheap chairs. Lots of use. Some can be locked underneath.

I don't know what the OP is talking about. Almost every PC room I have used has chairs which can be locked up straight and they have amle back support.

Most decent office chairs dont require locking to lean back. Unfortunately, you have to pay 400,000 or more for a chair like that in Korea.

How much do you pay to sit in it?

1,000 won per hour?

And that incluces the use of a computer?

And every disgusting, unbathed, sweaty male with no computer at home, or to escape his family, will sit in it for hours, grinding his body, usually smoking, sometimes sleeping, drooling, and varous other bodily functions from time to time ...

and you expect they'll spend how much to purchase such a chair?




Be grateful it's not an old wooden crate.

Seriously...

OP, you mean you are wondering why a business that charges a buck an hour, and constantly has to upgrade computers to play the latest games, and said computers generate enormous amounts of heat, which means you have to run the A/C at full blast 24-7, and whose main clientele is slackers aged 6-26, who proceed to eat cup noodles and drink Mountain Dew and scarf shrimp chips, and choke down cigs, you're seriously wondering why there isn't a heavy investment into an Italian Leather orthopedic office chair?

I've been to a PC Bang in Ilsan, where it was 5,000WON an hour. You had a private room, roll of toilet paper, and posters on the wall advertising fleshlights and "special" websites. It was pretty funny and creepy.
