We just secured $500K to build Seoul Bathhouse
Here’s how it came together
$250K bank loan
$250K from friends and early believers
40 founding members already in
This started three years ago at Barton Springs
Watching hundreds of people show up looking for connection
Cold plunges at sunrise
Strangers becoming regulars
A community forming around something they couldn’t even name yet
That’s what Seoul is
Austin’s first Korean bathhouse
Hot pools, cold plunge, Korean body scrubs, treatment rooms
A place to belong
Opening 2026
60 founding member spots left
If you want to lock in before we break ground
