Although the age range of PC-bang users varies, they are typically students ranging from grade school to college. Adults can be found using them as well, but this is not as normal of an occurrence in most cases.

Inside PC bangs, people may smoke, eat, and drink; most PC bangs sell ramen noodles (or "ramyen," as Koreans call it), canned coffee, energy drinks, and other snacks that a gamer might need to give the extra boost needed to play a little longer. The users of the PC bangs are very typically male, although there are almost always at least some females present.
