There's a hotel in Seoul where its all glass. The employees told my husband and I that people outside cannot see through the glass only the people inside can see through the glass to the outside. We dropped off out bags and went outside because there are a bunch of malls there and I looked back at the hotel and I could clearly see through the glass!! I saw all the people chilling in bathrobes! Wtf. We keep our curtains closed our whole stay.

Unacceptable oversight. Some of the comments on the person's blog are kinda scary.

What comments did you mean? The ones condemning her for going to a sauna? Or that the hotel was inept? Not sure if some have been deleted but they don't see too bad.

“On my last day I went for a walk but as I looked at the windows of the sauna I found out that I was able to see inside the sauna from outside.”
He said, whilst hiding in the bushes.

they are getting therapy treatment for their trauma, since when did people care about mental health in korea?

Nice way of boosting the compo package.

haha, I guess in the same way that men go to get "massage therapy" to work on improving their inner-selves.

Is this issue is famous? I saw the news and post about this event 3 times.

Can we talk about the romanisation "Josun"? It seems like it's intended to start a war between RR adherents and M-R purists.

Let's meet in Pusan to discuss. Or Taegu, if its more convinient.

How about somewhere on more neutral ground, like Ch'angweon, or Ch'ungju?

It is normal to want to peep on attractive strangers in a sauna. It is not normal to actually do it.

I suppose that you are right. I mean in the same way the gym mirrors are supposed to be used to check your form and technique, but yeah they are pretty much used to check other people out (or for the IG crowd, to admire yourself...)

Y'all are creeping me out here. This has literally never crossed my mind and I'm no prude.

Saunas aren’t coed.

Saunas aren’t jimjilbangs. They aren’t coed. They are most definitely separate by gender. So no I don’t scope other dudes in the sauna.

Not the best idea to mix mirrors and saunas. I think the Lotte Tower in Jamsil has a mirror on the floor of the observation deck too. Instead of rethinking it they just have a sign warning women in skirts to "be careful" :/
Or sometimes in nicer restrooms, they have highly reflective marble floors which let people see reflections from the next stall.
In the older days, when university and community swim pools were becoming more common, you'd occasionally see the perm-haired ajumma walk straight out of the locker room naked, absent mindedly. It'd be a brain fart where they forgot the pool wasn't a sauna complex.
How could you tell? Wouldn't they have been wearing a shower-cap or those rolled up towel things with the Leia buns, unless you were talking about... shudder
Luxury washrooms with shiny floors, wow!
Stalls are a luxury in some places especially Russian schools.
I went to a washroom at the toilet museum in Suwon with glass walls that turn opaque when the door is closed. It was a little freaky. Fortunately, my workplace has floor-to-ceiling stalls and dividers between urinals.
Lol I remember standing there and a guy next to me kept looking at the mirror...until I realized he was staring at my panties.
