Publicly run bathhouses boom as population shrinks
The public bathhouse that the Jung District office in Busan opened up in April last year. [JUNG DISTICT OFFICE, BUSAN] Chung Young-ran, 63, a resident of Chupungryeong-meon in Yeongdong County, North Chungcheong, says she has high hopes for a public bathhouse to open in September. The county office is spending 200 million won ($154,000) to build the 56 square-meter public bathhouse. Admission is only 3,000 won, less than half the 7,000 won charged by bathhouses in the county seat. While 2,200 people lives in Chupungryeong, there are no bathhouse in the hamlet.
