Seoul / Busan ( Korea ) - Massage / Sauna (Compiled)

[dumdidumdum]

Which sauna is good to meet chubby/plump guys? Age doesn't matter.

 

Daesung or Samson?

[Light1138]

Samson is a good choice. I was at Oban (大番）last month on one of the Sat evening, got many chub and big guys too. 15-20 pax inside, only 2-3 slim guys. The rest all big size guys. 
 

Daeseong is very mix. Mostly older guys. All sizes. Daeseong got no dark room for u to play.  Only can play open for all to watch 🤭

Daeseong has two rooms for patrons to rest (and play, if so desired) but both are not quite dark and all activities can be observed by the other patrons in there. 

 

I suppose it would work really well for exhibitionists.  😁

Heading to Seoul next month (6-14 Mar). Any gay sauna recommendations or a +1 to go together? Will be travelling solo 

[Palette2]

Planning to go in march/april, any massage recommendations? I keep seeing Spy, Prime, Superman.

[QinWei]

Any good recommendations for Busan??!

[And then]

 Recently went to Sparex at Dongdaemun. The facilities are quite basic and old. 4 warm pools and 2 cold pools. A steam room with very little steam and a hot dry sauna.

Plus a co-ed sauna/rest area/canteen on the level below.

 

Went in about 7pm. Moderate crowd levels which increased as it got later. Left about 9pm. 

 

I can detect some gay guys there. A few very hot guys there. Quite a feast for the eyes. But the wet areas are almost impossible to play in. Really no hidden areas.

 

Luckily I managed to play with one guy. We exchanged looks at the locker area and went into the sleeping room just off the locker room. There was another guy who seem to be sleeping but otherwise empty. A little bit of oral action there.

 

There were a few very large western sausages too for those into western food. Only for looking, I guess.

[And then]

I also visited the jimjilbang at Aquafield Goyang.  A little bit of a journey out there, but not really too bad.
The place is really big and modern, and chock full of hot Korean guys.
I went on a Sunday afternoon, and it was truly a feast for the eyes.

Highly recommended.

I've been here several times too. There was once met a group of young Korean super damn muscular guys, and they were bronze tanned so must be some bodybuilders, top class eye candies

BFs is boyfriends.  Never been to Busan .  Would be nice to go .

I went there once in the afternoon.  A bunch of cute college guys came in later afternoon, really good eye candy.  But it is really way out there, probably won't go again but will explore the more in town spas.

Did you try the room on the lower floor, right outside of the wet area and directly across from the vanities?  That room is very dark with no light.  The rooms on the upper floor are not totally dark and you can definitely see the actions.

I know that room you refer to, and I find it not that dark, really. 

The thing with that room is that a lot of light enters when the door is opened, and all activities in there can be clearly seen.  I carried on as though nothing happened though.  To paraphrase, "abandon shame all ye who enter here".

I had fun in both the upper and lower floors in Daeseong. 

 

Not only did I have no shame, I was quite brazen and stood right in the middle of the room enjoying bj etc., while nodding my invitations to play to the other patrons.  😁

Daeseong is unfortunately closed. A sign at the door says it's closed for renovation until April 2025. I went last week in Sept 2025 and it's still closed. Hope not closed down forever. I really liked the place.

Thought of going to Munhwa but a recent review in Google Maps says it's closed for renovation. 

 

In the end went to Oban. The place was full on a Sunday. Over 30+ guys, mixture of stocky, muscle and fit guys. Mostly 30's to 40's. Quality was good when I went around 12+pm. Around 3-4pm it started getting crowded (peak time I suppose) but the quality dropped lol. All naked and having orgies in the dark room. Koreans love to fuck raw openly.

will be there in Nov, staying at The Westin Josun.  I read there is a communal bath and spa available at the hotel.  Any experiences there to share ? 

 

[genzdude7]

been to the 2 main jjimjilbangs in busan this year. hurshimchung (oncheonjang stn) and spaland centum city.

 

hurshimchung’s public bath area is huge, almost like a water park kind of size. a lot of different baths to try, crowd was mainly uncles and fathers with their young kid. i don’t rmb seeing any foreigners as it is away from the touristy area of downtown busan. good for pure relaxation as place is huge with barely anyone during off peak hours. their dry saunas are not as impressive, mainly older korean couples/families napping inside.

 

spaland is famous and so has many ppl, koreans and tourists alike. korean crowd is definitely a lot younger, many teenagers and guys in their 30/40s. tourist wise, mainly angmoh so there’s a lot to see down there. the public bath area is tiny compared to hurshimchung. went on a weekday afternoon but still felt super crowded. the dry sauna area was huge, many different rooms. all quite crowded, have many korean straight couples tgt as well.

 

both are family/tourist-oriented, so beyond relaxation, there’s nothing more to them imo

Review of Samsong

 

It's a very small hyugetel (sleeping room) in Gangnam. A bit run down.

 

Wet area is just a few showers and toilets. No sauna, steam room or hot tub. Disappointing.

 

There are about 8-10 rooms for sex. Some singles with one mattress while others are bigger with several mattresses for group fun. All are pitch dark, in fact too dark for me. No doors, just curtains. Some guys were sleeping and snoring heavily.

 

There's also a small TV room to relax.

 

Crowd is 40's - 60's normal bods, dad bods, cubs, chubs. No twinks or fit guys (thank god). There were about 10-20 men on a Sunday at noon. All eager to have fun and fuck raw openly. If you're top, just stand there with your hard cock and sooner or later a bottom will bend over and offer you his hole. Koreans love uninhibited sex.

 

I had fun with a Korean mature guy with stocky body and nice ass.

 

Would I go again? Probably not due to lack of spa facilities. I like to dip and relax in the hot tub, here there's no place to relax. Apart from sex, there's nothing to do here. And it's really too small for my taste. Daeseong was a really good place due to its big space and horny men but unfortunately it's closed down (went to check and it's still closed). Next best thing would be Oban which size wise is between Samsong and Daeseong and has spa facilities.

 

Entry is KRW 12,000 7am - 7pm
KRW 15,000 7pm - 7am

 

Location
https://maps.app.goo.gl/cZnVUSRLGxic2QNj9?g_st=ac

Google maps is wrong, the metro station is called Seoul National University of Education (Line 3), not Gyodae. Take Exit 9.

There's no longer a Gold Bar there but some restaurant. Take the staircase on the left. Samsong is in the basement.

Same here, I love to use hot pools and other wet facilities. That's why I probably won't go to places like Magic DVD.

 

Tried Gwangjang Hotel sauna at Busan last week. Nice place, not a "gay sauna" per se, but had fun with a really cute cub, with a Japanese and an uncle touching and helping us along, so technically a foursome lol.

 

Will try Oban today. Hope it's nice!

Can try the massage at Oban. Heard it's quite good and can have more. Hehe

[tin_sg]

Was in Seoul n stayed in mydeong area The Westin. They have a nice hot pool Steam n sauna area with body scrub n massage by a man. Very good scrub n massage unfortunately nothing happened but I'm sure it can .  Korean men are pretty good looking especially those fair smooth skin. I noticed most of them have nice butts. Lots of eye candy at the hot pool area. Can't do much there too expose. 

 

But I had a massage boy come to my hotel. Booked thru the many massage boys site. Unfortunately the boy really didn't look anything like the picture but luckily the sex was good.  So be careful with some of those sites that only shows bod picture without face.  In general the younger gen men are very good looking

How was Oban?

 

Anyone tried Hamilton Hotel sauna?

It was ok. Surprisingly quite a lot of younger guys, but seems more inhibited, but can still see people playing in the sleeping room and the steam room.
From what I read, Daeseong is less inhibited, too bad it is closed.

[Ant ant]

Daeseong is unfortunately closed. Seems like the building is very redeveloped. Everything in the building including the animal clinic in the lobby is closed. Really happening sauna before with lots of group action everywhere. I wonder where the Daeseong men go now. Saw one former patron in oban which has hot guys but not the same level of energy

Will visit Busan for the first time, and I'm wondering if I should keep my hotel reservation in the beach area (Haeundae) or I'd be better off in town, near Gwangjang.  Any suggestions from folks who've been there?  Thanks a bunch.

I've booked my hotel stay to be at these two locations for next year's trip. 

It's in the first half of October and likely BIFF might be held then. 

If any interesting film being previewed/shown, I may catch one.

BIFF is very exciting - was 17 - 26 Sept this year

 

You have to be a true film buff to experience the very overwhelming festival - there are long queues even to buy film fest merch

 

Tickets are sold out very quickly but they allow free returns so have to keep refreshing booking site for cancellations

 

Most screenings this year were held at CGV Centum City, Lotte Cinema and Cinematheque Busan at Centum.

 

Even on weekdays, screenings start at 9am with the last session at 10pm or midnight

 

They also have daily free-to-attend meet-and-greet sessions at the open-air theatre at Busan Cinema Centre, where opening and closing movie screenings, as well as awards ceremony are held.

 

BIFF Square opposite Jagalchi market is a community event space, but not a screening centre.

 

Have fun

Thanks! 

Apparently BIFF 2026 would be October. 

 

I've split my hotel stays to be at Busan Station and Nampo/Jagalchi.

Few nights at each location.

I've been to Busan years ago and had done/seen all those standard touristy stuff/sites.

 

This coming trip will be very chill with lots of food, casual strolling and public bath sessions. 

[Scott_UK]

I was in Seoul briefly a couple of weeks ago - no time for fun unfortunately.

 

However I went to a public bathroom on the ground floor of a major company in central Seoul having visited a Starbucks in the building. This was approximately 1pm.

 

There was a crowd of office workers all cleaning their teeth - it looked very cruisy in there and I assume that is what they were doing, or is communal teeth cleaning something that Korean guys just do in their lunch break? 

 

[And then]

would love to learn more about public/toilet cruising in Seoul  (if any)
