Brand experience agency Innocean is embarking on a mission to revitalize public spaces in South Korea. Despite serving essential functions for local communities, many have fallen into neglect due to decreased usage or an aging population. The first public facility to be revamped was Iljuk Mogyoktang, a 27-year-old bathhouse in Gyeonggi Province. First constructed in 1997, the bathhouse now serves a local community comprised mostly of elderly citizens. It was remodeled with the needs of those patrons in mind and equipped with features that reduce the risk of heat shock, drowning and falls.Bathhouses are a tentpole of Korean culture. Traditional mogyoktangs () started as a necessary public good in the 1960s, when most houses did not yet have access to heated bathrooms or hot running water. Today, in urban South Korea, bathhouses have given way to modern public saunas (jjimjilbang, ), which have become popular recreational complexes for families, friends and couples. In addition to bathing facilities, jjimjilbangs also offer restaurants, movie rooms, karaoke, massages, nap spaces and more.

I think its fair to say you can never own too many SD cards, and thankfully one of the best models available to buy currently is on sale for Black Friday. Amazon has discounted the Samsung Evo Select microSD card. Specifically, the 256GB variant is $4 off its usual $22 price. An 18 percent price discount might seem modest, but $18 is a new record low price for the storage device. If you want to avoid shopping on Amazon, Samsung has also reduced the cost of the 256GB model on its website, alongside the 128GB, 512GB and 1TB variants. Samsungs Evo Select microSD cards are among the best value youll find on the market right now. While there are models that offer faster sequential read and write speeds, its hard to argue with the Evo Select lines mix of performance and affordability. In the case of the 256GB model, the capability to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 160 MB/s is good enough for most tasks. Ive been using a 128GB Evo Select card in my Switch OLED since the end of last year and have no complaints. Plus, each card comes with a 10-year warranty from Samsung. For $18, thats a steal if you ask us. If youre looking for other storage solutions, Ill also mention here that Engadget has a roundup of the best Black Friday SSD deals. Check that out if you want to save money on a new NVMe, SD card or external drive.
