First bathhouse? Scrub Pass →About this place
NotesOpen 24 hours, with a range of specialty baths and heated jjimjil rooms. The massage here is what draws people — some come just for that. Parking is free for three hours. The venue is on the first basement level of SK Hub Park on Ogeum-ro in Songpa, close to Exit 3 of Gaerong Station. Alongside hot and cold pools, the bathing area has two specialty baths: a sulfur mud bath and a rooibos tea bath. There are dry and steam saunas, plus heated rooms lined with salt, charcoal and yellow-clay germanium, and a chilled ice room. If it is your first jjimjilbang (Korean sauna lounge), you change into a rented jjimjilbok — the loose cotton uniform worn in the mixed-gender areas — and move freely between rooms. Extras include meridian massage, coin-operated massage chairs and a vibrating massage machine, along with a men-only barber shop. Men's and women's sleeping rooms are separate, and there is a restaurant, vending machines and parking. Cash and credit cards are accepted. Admission is ₩12,000, with ₩1,000 added after 21:00. Weekends tend to be busy, so a quieter time slot may suit better.

No booking needed
Just walk in
Places like this do not take bookings. Pay at the counter and go in. Know the steps below and a first visit is fine.
From the door to the exit
- Pay the entry fee at the counter. Many take cards, but a little cash is the safe bet. You get a shoe-locker key.
- Put everything in a locker in the changing room. The bath area is fully nude — no swimwear. Wear the key on your wrist.
- Shower before entering any tub. This is the one rule everyone notices.
- For a body scrub (seshin), go straight to the scrub attendant inside the bath area. Usually cash, and you wait your turn.
- Return the key at the counter on the way out. Some places settle extras (scrub, drinks) at that point.
Good to know
- Men and women bathe separately. In jjimjilbang common areas you wear the provided sauna clothes.
- Large tattoos may be refused at some places. If that concerns you, check before you go.
- A towel is usually provided but small. Scrub mitts, toothbrushes and razors are sold at the counter.
- No photos inside the bath area. Easiest to leave your phone in the locker.
- Prices and hours are compiled from public information and may have changed. If you are coming from far, one phone call is worth it.

Private scrub rooms are one-to-one, bookable, and run on a fixed time slot. If a public bath feels unfamiliar, this is the easier route.
