I haven’t been to many jjimjilbangs except the one at Yongsan because I was never a fan of spas and hot rooms, but the clean environment and relaxed atmosphere at Aquafield changed my perspective of jjimjilbangs. While I don’t see myself coming often, I can see myself coming back again when I need to take a breather from my back-breaking schedule.
