Seoul Gay Saunas

    Seoul Gay Saunas

    The gay sauna scene in Seoul is not as big as you might expect, although most saunas are open 24 hours.

    Why are saunas popular in South Korea?

    With roots in the Joseon Dynasty, South Koreans have long visited "jjimjilbang" (heating room) as a place for bathing, relaxing, and community bonding. These 24/7 gender-segregated saunas offer a range of amenities beyond typical steam rooms and showers. Patrons can unwind on heated floors, take in TV lounges, or catch up among mineral clay areas. Many feature nap rooms, fitness facilities, outdoor terraces, and snack bars serving common remedies like ginger tea.

    Today, these same facilities and traditions persist, even at gay saunas in Seoul. But visitors are likely to find more at these particular establishments, including dark rooms and play areas.
