K-pop is all the rage. Having traveled extensively across Asia together over the last few years, the one thing we’ve noticed is how popular K-pop is in every male lover scene on the continent. It’s a craze that has taken over. For example, in the DJ Station homosexual club of gay Bangkok, an entire floor is now dedicated to K-pop that plays all night long. The same at the G* Club in gay Taipei.
The male lover scene in Seoul is no unlike. Here at the home of K-pop, gay bars/clubs enjoy Ground and Ping are dedicated to this distinct pop music genre, with queues outside stretching for several blocks with guys eager to get in and show off their K-pop choreos and formation changes.

Welcome to one of Seoul’s many gay saunas.
The traditional sauna is everywhere in South Korea. They are very much part of the modern South Korean landscape. Parents take their children to bathhouses to receive a good scrub and soak. And the parch area is where families can rest, gather, and socialise while sipping a refreshingly cold and adorable beverage, known as sikhye.
