Anyone know any? Or even in Itaewon? Care to post directions?

Also, what the hell goes on at this sort of place? What do I wear? Are there... like... cold jacuzzis for summer days?? Is everyone really naked?

not sure about Itaewon or Haebangchon, but there is a really nice one not too far away in Yongsan/Sinyongsan.

The only closer ones I know of are in Itaewon and involve more than just nudity.

Wow, that looks nice. Have you been there? Is this a public sauna or do they have private features? Is there much English spoken? Do they offer monthly memberships? Is there much in the way of summer-friendly (cold) treatment?

What's with sooo many people on these boards misspelling Haebangchon all in the same way? (Haebinchon)
Are they getting it from a typo somewhere?

Its meaning is "liberation village". 해방촌

No idea. I've only been to jimjilbangs here about 5 times. I'm not big on sitting in hot tubs, I've just never understood the appeal. I just know that that place is one that is highly recommended. The one in the Hamilton is supposed to be alright, but I've heard stories of guys waking up to an unpleasant(or pleasant depending on your sexual persuasion) surprise there.
