<What is the meaning of Da-Bang?>

 

 A dabang is a Korean establishment that primarily serves coffee, tea, and other non-alcoholic beverages. Other words for dabang include a coffee house, coffee shop, dasil, daejeon, and chatjip. The word dabang can also refer to coffee shops like Starbucks. Starbucks is referred to as byeoldabang (Hangul: 별다방), from 'byeol', a Korean word for 'star'.

 During the late Joseon Dynasty and the Korean Empire, dabang-like establishments emerged in Korea, giving rise to the tea ceremony. While the Dado culture was not as developed for the common people compared to China and Japan, it was institutionalized at the national level. Over time, modern tea rooms and coffee shops replaced traditional dabang, and the culture evolved with different styles and themes. The dabang played various roles, from social gathering spaces to commercial meeting places. With the spread of coffee machines and the refinement of beverages, dabang gradually lost its ground, but some coffee shops continue to use the name. The history of dabang reflects the cultural changes and influences that Korea experienced through its exposure to Western culture.
