24-Hour Practice Space for up to 6 People in Songdo, Incheon - Yeonsu Station (연수역, Suin Line)

Someone posted that they're living in Songdo, Incheon, and that it's a bit of a ghost town out there. On mule.co.kr, all I found in Songdo was a post for a music academy that didn't look like they rented their rooms by the day, so I found the nearest rehearsal space that had a bit of flavor and didn't seem so sterile. It looks to be about a 5-10 minute walk from Yeonsu Station (연수역, Suin Line).

The post for this space can be found here: http://www.mule.co.kr/information/4/bbscontent.aspx?idx=2419623&page=1&sort=23&searchword=&searchregion=1. They don't mention a name for the practice space, but they do say that the rehearsal room and hang-out area can fit up to 6 people. It's available 24 hours a day, and it only mentions the monthly price of 10만원 (10,000 won or about $100).

From the photos, I can't tell much about the equipment except that the bass drum is a Ludwig:
