Korean style spa - Jjimjilbang

Have you seen this kind of style in Korean drama?












This style became famous since Kim Sunah had done that kind of style in "My name is Kim Sam Sun" in Jjimjilbang.















Then what is Jjimjilbang??

I don't think there is that kind of spa in Singapore.
Jjimjilbang is the unique spa style in Korea.


It is not only spa, you can enjoy shower, and sauna but also sleep overnight at an affordable price. Usually every Jjimjilbang opens 24-hour.
