Barefoot Park
Loess Ball Acupressure Park
Thirty minutes of barefoot walking delivers the benefits of a 5km hike. We create natural health experience spaces in the heart of the city.
At a loess ball barefoot park, walking just 150m or so is enough to gauge your own level of fatigue — even with tired, heavy legs — and to feel an immediate physical therapy effect.
It's the simplest way to bring nature into the heart of the city. High-temperature fired loess balls can be used year-round, and installation is simple enough that a health experience space can be built on a modest budget.

Key Features of Kum Yang Loess Balls
30 Minutes Barefoot = A 5 km Hike
The outstanding acupressure effect helps prevent aging, chronic fatigue, and lifestyle-related diseases. Walking just 150 meters or more lets you gauge your own fatigue level and feel an immediate physical therapy effect.
Usable in All Four Seasons
Heat-treated at temperatures above 1,000°C, the balls withstand -20°C without cracking and do not dissolve even after prolonged submersion in water.

The simple installation method makes it possible to build a wellness facility even on a small budget.
100% Domestic Korean Hwangto
Our premium hwangto balls stand apart from competitors' products, offering the same quality as those exported to Japan, China, and other countries.
Manufactured in 1mm Size Increments
Producing balls in 1mm increments across a 1-30mm range is a technology unique to Kum Yang.
Korea's Largest Production Capacity
With a company-owned factory covering 1,400 pyeong (approx. 4,628 m²), equipped with four large kilns and four electric furnaces, we produce an average of 50 tons per month, up to a maximum of 70 tons.
Functional Ball Lineup
We blend loess with a range of ceramics to create a new generation of ceramic balls suited to acupressure park applications. Germanium balls, elvan stone balls, loess anion balls, jade balls, and alumina balls can all be combined.
