What is jjimjilbang, and how do people spend time there?


All jjimjilbang complexes contain a mogyoktang (public bath) section, where guests scrub thoroughly, using small, rough cloths to rub away outer layers of dead skin cells. However, before entering this bath section, one must first wash oneself in showers around the edge of the mogyoktang. The mogyoktang section contains several soaking tubs, many featuring natural ingredients like green tea or ginseng.
