To foreigners that came to Korea with the opening of the ports, Korean people were dirty and smelled bad; they were unclean. Once people realized uncleanliness, they had to pursue cleanliness. And they needed place to wash the body. Hence the bathhouse. Proponents of the enlightenment party―who radically undertook modern reform of the Korean society ―paid attention to the importance of bathhouse. To them, bath was a means of achieving cleanliness and hygiene. Furthermore, it was an instrument for civilization, for modernization. Emphasis on cleanliness and hygiene was made in form of advocating establishment of public bathhouses. Price for public bathhouse had to be low, and thus, many organizations needed to join hands in the endeavor to share cost burden. In some cases, establishment of public bathhouse was proposed as one of missions of youth associations.
Since the ancient times, scrubbing off dead skin was a cultural practice of Korean people. With the arrival of modern era, Korean people began to take on this task earnestly. The problem was that Japanese colonization added the sense of inferiority―that Korean people were less clean than Japanese people―to the act of scrubbing off dead skin, which was in realm of cleanliness and hygiene before. Some of the Koreans resisted discrimination from Japanese people, but some took it for granted, saying that unclean people deserved to receive hatred and insult. For them, Koreans were under the ruling of Japan because they were unclean. And dead skin represented uncleanliness. Then, scrubbing off dead skin was an act of overcoming discrimination against Korean people. The logic was that by scrubbing off dead skin, Korean people would be reevaluated as a clean people in the world, a people who can achieve independence eventually.
