I went to a place near Dongdaemun Stadium, just to give you info on price range. I think it was 10,000 per session without supplied lotions, or 150,000 and you get lotions and maybe a month membership, not sure, I had a hard time understanding just how long the membership was good for.

On the outside think it says sun tanning in english as well as Korean.

Yeah, tasteless, I know, but it's what popped into my head.


Wait a minute... are you.. saying that... using tanning beds can increase one's risk of skin cancer?? Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked

Not tasteless, just brainless. Thanks for the heads up Corporal.


Not brainless...how do you think Liverpool became the skin cancer capital of the UK. Its also the sun bed capital of the UK.

Tried my third tanning salon in Korea with exactly the same results. Nothing.
120k for 13 sessions in a stand up bed. First session was this morning and was in there for 10 minutes. I knew I should have talked the guy into letting me pay for just one session to test it out. Doubt I'll get my money back.

How do these places stay in business?

Burning is no good. Sun exposure/UVB rays are critical for vitamin d production and overall health. Maintaining a healthy tan is the best way to a) prevent burning from the sun, and b)maintain vitamin d levels for optimal health.
Just don't burn. 3-5 minutes on a low bed every few days is a commonly used protocol.

There are tanning salons all over Seoul, most likely more than one in your neighborhood. Just go to naver maps at http://map.naver.com/

Type in the name of your Seoul district in Korean and then 텐 at the end. Hope this helps.
