Abstract The aim of this study is to find out the changes that have happened to korea DA-BANG(tea-room). This survey was carried out from 1876 to 1997 and the subject of this study is korea DA-BANGS in Seoul. Following conclusions were obtained from this study.1) DA-BANG came into being from Koryo ages and more DA-BANGS from 1920`s 2) DA-BANG has changed in the followng order : GAEWHA DA-BAHG(that were used to meet, communicate and negotiate foreigners when our country was opening ports), MUNWHA DA-BANG(that were used cultural space ,for example, exhibition, display etc,), SEANGWHAL DA-BANG(the place that used a part of living space ; meeting friends to make appointment, etc.), SANGUB DA-BANG( commercial tea-room : the place that makes money.)3) Considering early MUNWHA DA-BANG, we can regard the beginning of korea interior architecture as 1920`s4) The decline of DA-BANG is due to the increase of vending machine, expensive tea, costly rent, employees` dear wages and customer`s needs that pursues westernization and convenient life as well as the mood of more comfortable tea-room(for example, fresh air, agreeable mood etc.).
