Bathhouses and jjimjilbangs are a significant part of Korean spa culture, and they are gaining popularity more than before. If industry trends are anything to go by, the spa and massage industry has experienced enormous growth in recent years. In Korean culture, bathing has been recognised as a practice to wash away not just the body’s impurities but also to cleanse the mind.
This cultural tradition evolved into modern-day jjimjilbang, a traditional Korean bathhouse offering various spa services and amenities. These wellness facilities gained popularity in the 1990s with the advent of K-Drama and have become a staple in Korean culture for relaxation and rejuvenation.
