We did not visit. Each card was checked on October 10, 2026 against official sites, Naver and Kakao Map and Seoul’s tourism offices, with sources under each card. None of the seven publishes a tattoo rule, so ask at the counter.

  8. 08Closed places you will still see recommendedItaewon Land stopped operating in early 2020; its site was put up for sale in 2022 and approved for a six-storey building (DealSite, Seoul Economic Daily). Dragon Hill Spa (last photo): on October 10, 2026 Kakao Map listed only its parking lot, not an operating venue, and we found no reopening notice. Guides recommending either are out of date.
  9. 09Want a private scrub room?Bathhouse scrubs happen on a mat in the bath hall. For a private room, millio books The Gyeol Incheon, in Incheon, not Seoul.

Private Korean body scrub: what to expect in a one-person room

A private Korean body scrub (seshin) is a one-on-one session in a room of your own: soak, scrub, rinse, often more. It is normally booked ahead, runs 50 to 150 minutes and costs more than the bathhouse kind. What to wear, what it costs, and the one place on millio that sells it, which is not in Seoul.
