The apartment 'Raemian One Bailey' in Banpo-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul, which exceeds 200 million won per 3.3 square meters, has stopped providing communal items in the community sauna due to repeated thefts.

On the 30th, a post appeared on an online community stating that a sign reading 'Notice of suspension of communal items' was erected at the entrance of the Raemian One Bailey sauna. It has been reported that they decided to no longer provide shampoo and lotion. It is also expected that items such as toothpaste, soap, and cotton swabs will stop being provided once the stock runs out.

The background of this decision made by the resident representative meeting is said to be due to some residents stealing or misusing communal items. Reports have surfaced in the residents' group chat of instances where shampoo was taken home or even used for laundry in the community sauna.

Last year, a Dyson hair dryer that was provided in the community sauna of the 'Gaepo Xi Residence' complex in Gangnam-gu was stolen, causing controversy.
