The "haeuso" toilet of Bodeok Temple in Yeongwol, a town in South Korea's northeast province of Gangwon, is seen in this undated photo, released by the state-run Korea Heritage Service on Aug. 4, 2026. The heritage agency plans to designate as national folk cultural heritage the restroom, the "cheukgan" toilet in the southwestern city of Suncheon and the "haeuso" toilet at Haein Temple in Hapcheon, a town in South Korea's southeastern province of South Gyeongsang. Haeuso refers to a traditional Korean Buddhist temple term for a restroom, literally meaning "a place to relieve one's worries." (PHOTO NOT FOR SALE) (Yonhap)
