Utopia Map

Not gay, so be discreet. The vast majority of guys in the 2/F sleeping area use only a towel for cover, if anything at all. There is some action going on there especially Fri and Sat nights and Sun afternoon. The crowd is on the younger side, some very cute, hot Koreans and foreigners as well.

"He's was quiet on Fri night, no more than 10 guys, but I had a great time." -- John, Nov 6, 2022

"Hyundae Sauna changed their name to He's. Almost everything is same it used to be before. During the Covid pandemic, the operation hour is 7am-10pm. I hope they can open 24 hours again." -- Ran H, Apr 25, 2022

JONGNO / NAGWON DONG

Utopia Map

At the Jongno-3-Ga station (Line #1) take Exit 1 and walk straight ahead (west). Turn right into the alley just before McDonald's and follow it north. After a dozen or so steps you'll come to a junction and the alley jogs slightly to the left here - continue forward (north). Near the end of the alley, on your left just before T-Motel, there's a sign that says "sauna" in English. Smokey and dingey, but still fun. Three bathing pools: cold, hot and hotter; also a steam room and a dry room. Downstairs and upstairs resting areas. Active, especially on weekends. The guys don't wear towels, but they usually carry one to make a token pretense to modesty. G/F has lockers and bathing area with standing/sitting showers, a couple of baths, and a steam room. The upstairs sleeping/play area is nearly always active, divided into 5 or 6 large rooms, all brightly lit, and some people just going at it in full view. The crowd is mature Koreans, daddies, and ajoshis (uncles). Open 24 hours daily and can draw a lunchtime crowd. Bring your own safety supplies.

SINCHON

Sinchon-ro 60 (Metro Sinchon Exit 8), Utopia Map
334-8245

Gay jjimjilbang about 300m from Exit 8 of the Shinchon Station, Line 2 (NOT SinchEon Station). Take Exit 8 and walk straight ahead passing Canon Plaza, Lotte Market 999 on your left, Shinhan Bank, NH Bank, flower shops, Rolling Stone on the left, then a restaurant. Prince is located just next to it with a sign (small and recessed) as you start walking uphill. Take the stairs up to 3/F. Small place. The main floor has lockers (phone charger inside the locker!), a shower and a TV/Smoking room. Lube, condoms and glowsticks are provided in your locker. The upper floor has rooms. Smoking area. No sauna or jacuzzi. You're likely to get a cellphone light shone on you at least every minute or so, as guys are checking if the room's free or if there's anyone they like. Young Korean crowd in their 20s-30s, mostly from nearby universities, fit, and interested mainly in the same. Crowded in the late afternoon and weekend nights. The manager may not allow you to enter. We have received multiple reports of racial discrimination here.

Comments from Utopians:

"In 2009, when I worked in Seoul, I went this place sometimes. It became my favorite place because it was crowded with young guys. Although it was just a common sleeping room, not equipped, I still enjoyed it. One day, I met a sweet guy, but he did not reveal real name. He said just call him "Lucky." I have never met again. We sometimes texted, but we could not talk much because I couldn't use Korean and his English was limited. I still kept his number to text him. I still wished to be more close to him. Unfortunately, when I went to Vietnam to live, we lost contact. I still go to Seoul for business trips and sometimes I go to Prince to find Lucky, but I fail. I hope I can find him some day, just to know if he is fine." -- Andy, Apr 28, 2022

Gunja Station (Line 7 or 5)

Go out from Exit 3. Follow the road to your right for a couple of meters until you see a Bo Shin Ttang (Korean). It's at 2/F of that building with their door marked with some Chinese characters. Old, with very humble facilities. But they compensate with decent sleeping rooms that are a bit more spacious than most. The patrons are mostly 30s and above.

About 5 minutes from Young Deung Po Station

When you get out of the station, turn left on the street in front of you and walk about one or two minutes. There you'll see a crosswalk on your right, also a fish restaurant on your left which is the building (sort of brown colored, 7 or 8 story building) where the sauna is located. To get in you go up the stairs to the end, then you go downstairs to the door. Enter and take your shoes off and put them into a locker. Hand the locker key to the man you paid. Then he'll give you another locker key for your clothes locker. Almost everyone is gay. Also you can stay overnight for an additional fee.

Gangnam, Utopia Map
02-521-1980. Gyodae Station (Line 3) Exit 9

Walk about four minutes straight from the exit until you find an alley to your left in between Hana Bank and TomTom's. Follow that alley passing by a small children's park, crossing the small intersection, then on another small intersection (to your left should be Wa Bar), go to the right and you'll see Gold Bar. Samsong is in B/F of that building. Pros: spacious, lots of rooms, wide range of patrons ages and types. Best of all, very kind desk clerk. Cons: the showers remind one of a high school locker room and the toilets are more like the subway stalls (or a bit worse). Drinks from the fridge are expensive (Starbucks Doubleshot 200ml = W$2,000). A good computer room. Bring your own safety supplies.
