Guide To
A Guide To Public Bathhouses (Jjimjilbang) In South Korea

Bathhouses in their traditional form are a very important part of Korean modern culture. It is common to see groups of people come to a jjimjilbang and participate in services that involve physical and mental relaxation. Koreans of all ages and gender are known to gather anytime in these places whenever they need to unwind, distress, and detox. Instead of going out to drink, some groups of friends opt to relax in a bathhouse on a Friday or Saturday night. At times, family members come together and make this an activity where they can spend quality time together. This goes to show that anyone can experience an excellent time in a Korean public bathhouse. Part of the culture of jjimjilbang is the separation of gender in the baths. For obvious reasons, males and females go inside separate bath areas. The reason for this is that all customers are required to take their clothes off. It would certainly be awkward for some to be seen without any clothing by members of the opposite sex. In other parts of the bathhouse, both men and women are allowed to congregate but with clothing supplied by the staff. Bathhouses of today offer other service likened to what you will get in a spa. This includes massages and sauna rooms. Others extend their offerings by having their own restaurant and cafes where everyone can eat and have coffee or tea after.
