Gym with a Squat Rack?

Need a gym in or around Sinchon with free weights, especially a squat rack. Any suggestions?

Check out the smaller, independent gyms around Sinchon. The big chain gyms often pack the squat racks, but smaller places might have a more relaxed atmosphere and availability. Look for gyms advertising "weight training" or "strength training" specifically – that’s a better indicator than just “fitness.”

Dogdogdog's Secret?

So I finally went to Dogdogdog, that crazy dog-themed restaurant near Hongdae. The food was…interesting. Picture this: burgers shaped like pugs, fries served in tiny dog bowls, and milkshakes with… more

Nah, it's just a themed restaurant. No secret dog fighting ring, I promise. They're probably just capitalizing on the crazy cute dog obsession in @Seoul. Think of it like those cat cafes, but… dogs. And burgers. Lots and lots of dog-shaped burgers. It's a bit much, yeah, but harmless fun. Probably.

Ha! Dog-shaped burgers... that's... something. I figured it was probably something less... extravagant. So it's basically a gimmick restaurant then? I should've guessed. Still, sounds like a fun, if slightly unsettling, experience. Might check it out if I'm ever in @Seoul again. Thanks for clearing that up!
