after growing up in LA my whole life hearing about Wi Spa, i finally went for the first time this past week.
there is something so special and ancient about getting naked together to clean ourselves. i feel this way when i listen to live music at a bar, i think about how long people have been doing this activity for and it fills me with this sense of pride and joy i relish because it’s rare to feel so good about being human. it’s nice to feel a part of a thousands of years long legacy
i’m heavily tattooed and hairy so i was nervous about being naked but no one was judgmental or strange, all the opposite. i saw every kind of person of every age and size and identity. i even made a friend in the hot tub! it felt good to have my naked body feel so casual, so understated. all the amenities were incredible. the massage i got was out of this world and so worth the price (always tip!!) oh and the food in the cafe was delicious!!! all in all it was a perfect night that i will be forever grateful for ❤️

I went to the Korean spa for the first time with my bestie last night and it was a profoundly nourishing experience on every level. we were having deep heart to hearts while schvitzing it out in the sauna and it felt like my soul was being cleansed. there are these tubs of different temperatures and this basin full of mugwort water with empty bowls so you can pour it over yourself, and all these magical heated rooms with different scents and properties. I also saw people carrying giant bottles of spa water with chopped mango and mint and they were like $20 each but they looked sooo good. next time I also want to go to the Korean restaurant inside and the tea room.

I had the pleasure of experiencing Wi Spa for the first time this past Sunday, and all I can say is every penny spent is worth it. $30 for full access to 6 different saunas, 3 baths, showers, a restaurant (with decent food and reasonable prices) and a "sleeping room" with mats, pillows and blankets on a heated floor. I went with a couple of friends after a trip to the beach. We arrived sandy and ready for a bath at 9:30 pm, took showers, had ramen and smoothies at the restaurant, went back downstairs for hours of soaking heating and cooling our bodies at various lengths of time. We didn’t leave until 1:30 am. This place is an institution that should should be celebrated. Can't wait to come back!

Maybe it’s because one time I was lucky enough to live in a house with a sauna, or as a rowdy teenager I spent after-hours on weekends at London’s gay bathhouses, but, truly, still, at least once a week I need to decompress in a spa. When I lived in the Bay Area, I’d go to the Kabuki or the Russian Banya, and sit in silence and sweat. In L.A. I’ll nip down to Koreatown. Even the seedy spas are fab. I just want to exfoliate. Pls send spa tips 🙏🏼

I watched this for the first time with my dad when it came out in 2007. I was 7 years old and had a horrible panic attack during the movie (my dad was nuts for thinking i could watch this!) I have since rewatched and while I absolutely loved it (ranked #38 of my top 100 movies), it was honestly retraumatizing to see and just as anxiety inducing as it was when i was a child! i won’t be rewatching for a long time but boy do i still ponder this movie!!!
