Daejeon party room with a 200-inch screen for group hangouts: Sodium

If you've been looking for a comfortable spot in Daejeon where a group can gather, check out this review!

With a big group, even picking a place gets surprisingly hard. I wanted somewhere we could stay for a long time without worrying about other people the way you do at a café, and that's how I found the Daejeon rental studio Sodium (소듐).

The space is spacious and you can enjoy everything from food to music to video all in one place, so I picked it for this meetup ✨

How much does it cost to rent Sodium?

Sodium runs on an hourly session system. One session is ₩40,000 for 1 hour, a light session is ₩120,000 for 3 hours, a long session is ₩200,000 for 5 hours, a half-day session is ₩400,000 for 8 hours, and an all-day session is ₩500,000 for 10 hours. Group or filming use needs a separate inquiry.

Prices can vary depending on the day and time, so it's worth double-checking the final cost when you book. They also accept corporate card payment and can issue a formal tax invoice, so it seemed useful not just for personal gatherings but also for company events or team outings.

How big is Sodium's 62-pyeong party room?

Sodium is a space you can use privately, all 62-pyeong (about 205 sqm) of it. When we walked in,

Wait, this is all just for us? 😆

— that's how big it is! Even with a whole group piling in, it never felt crowded. And it's not just a big empty space — the interior mood was pretty stylish too. Every corner had a slightly different feel, so

we naturally ended up taking photos everywhere, and even just sitting around felt more like hanging out in a studio than a typical rental space 📸 If you've been worried about finding a Daejeon rental space big enough for your group size, this one's worth a look.

Watching videos on Sodium's 200-inch screen 🎬

You can't talk about Sodium without mentioning the huge 200-inch screen! With a screen that size, even just putting on YouTube or Netflix completely changed the vibe. There are high-power speakers too, so it was also great for playing music and hanging out.

We started out (relatively) quietly chatting, but as the energy built we ended up singing and blasting music, having a blast haha

There's a guitar and an electric piano set up too, so if you've got a friend who's into music, you can make it even more fun 🎸🎹 It has a different kind of charm from a Daejeon rental studio where you just take photos and leave.

Ordering delivery food at Sodium and settling in to talk 🍕💕

Sodium allows delivery food and simple snacks. And let's be honest, when friends get together, mealtime is the most important part haha

We didn't have to step outside to order whatever we wanted. We ordered a bunch of things and spent ages eating and talking, and honestly that was the most fun part. Eating while chatting, suddenly putting on a song, taking photos, then back to chatting!

What I liked most was that there was no set schedule — we could just do whatever we wanted. You can't cook, but ordering delivery worked without any hassle, and for a group that's staying a long time, that setup actually felt more convenient. It's also about a 10-minute walk from Sungsimdang bakery, so next time I think I'll grab a ton of bread on the way 🥐

More than one way to use Sodium: music, games and photos

Walking around, I noticed Sodium is divided into zones — Cinema, Node, Play, Music zone, and more.

So besides hanging out with friends, it could also work for birthday parties, anniversaries, photo shoots, club meetings, or small events. If you're looking into Daejeon party rooms and want more than just tables and chairs, this could be a great fit.

For anyone looking for a Daejeon workshop venue where a lot of people gather, having access to the 200-inch screen, microphone, and speakers seemed like a real plus.

Which group gatherings is Sodium best for?

What I liked most about Sodium was being able to hang out with friends in one place for hours. No moving around to find somewhere to eat, then a café, then somewhere to play — eating, talking, singing, and watching videos all in one spot was way more convenient than I expected.

And using the entire 62-pyeong space privately meant we could spend time with our friends without really worrying about anyone else.

Especially with a large group, small spaces get chaotic fast, but here there was enough room, so the advantages really showed when we visited as a group.

• Anyone planning a group hangout or birthday party with friends
• Anyone looking for a Daejeon rental space with photo spots and things to do
• Anyone who needs a venue for a small workshop or photo shoot

It was also perfect for a day like ours, with no special plan — just friends getting together to eat, talk, and have a blast. A day we all laughed and chattered so much after not seeing each other in a while 💕 Sodium is the kind of place I'll think of again next time friends want to meet up — if you're looking for a spot in Daejeon for a group, give it a look ✨
