 |

| I've heard of the "ball ae bang" which I have never used, but apparently they'll do the wash for you... just curious if there is an actual coin laundromat anywhere in Korea? (I was pleasantly surprised to see a few in Taipei but that aint Korea.) |

This is a very good question.
I asked my girlfriend about this very same thing just last night. We walked by one last night and I said "Hey. Do they have these places in Korea?"
She said no, but their are places where you take your clothes in, and they do all the washing/drying for you and you come to pick them up after a few hours. |

Just saw one yesterday in Itaewon. It's "behind the main drag and not really easy to find. I was lost and saw it.
Go to bugure king and turn right. Turn right again at the first street/ally. You'll see it slopes downward. Keep walking and you'll see the laundromat on your right. |

Basic wash dry and fold is about 2000 per kilo for bulk stuff.
Prices go up for individual items - like if you took in 2 shirts, 2 pants and a jacket it would run about 10-12k. You get them back cleaned, pressed and hung. |

The ballebang near me charges 5,000 for a small load of laundry that's still wet and wrinkled when I go pick it up. |

| There's one right by my house. It's coin operated. I haven't actually used it so I can't quote you a price. But I assure you they exist. |
