As technology evolves and life gets busier, it’s now normal for people to struggle to coordinate outings with friends. A new personal “phone booth KTV” is taking the world by storm, turning solo singing into a trend. It’s hugely popular in countries like Japan and South Korea, and has now been introduced to Taiwan, becoming the latest hot topic in entertainment.

No larger than two ping (about 6.6 square meters), these phone booth-style KTVs may be compact but they’re fully equipped. Inside, you’ll find a touchscreen song selector, two professional-grade headphones, and microphones, with speakers positioned above the screen to accommodate two people sitting and singing. The space can hold up to four people, but singing alone is no problem either. Also known as personal KTV, it ensures that singing solo is no longer lonely or awkward—perfect for those who don’t like being interrupted while singing or hate having their chosen songs taken by friends.

The cost to sing a song in a phone booth KTV ranges from 20 to 50 New Taiwan Dollars, with options for per-song or per-time packages. The song selector supports searching by artist or song title, and features various ranked playlists for easy selection. The song library is updated monthly, offering a wide range of tracks in Mandarin, Taiwanese, English, Japanese, and more. It also includes functions like pitch adjustment, vocal guide, and pause. Payment methods include coins as well as the innovative and convenient EasyCard (Easycash).
