What it is

Learn the jjimjilbang bath ritual: scrub, soak, sauna, sheep-towel hat.

찜질방 목욕 순서 배우기, 때·탕·사우나·양머리 수건.

Why go

The hot baths are the actual point; most foreigners skip them out of shyness.

진짜 핵심은 탕인데 외국인 대부분이 부끄러워 건너뛴다.

How to

₩10,000–15,000 day entry. Shower first, then the hot pool, cold plunge, and the sauna rooms upstairs. Twist your towel into the 양머리 (yang-meo-ri, sheep hat). Ask for a scrub (₩20,000) if brave.

낮 입장 ₩10,000~15,000. 샤워 → 온탕 → 냉탕 → 위층 찜질실. 수건으로 양머리. 용기 있으면 세신(₩20,000).
