South Korea Bars Fast Exercise Music

Wn1@[0]YGUm

Many people who exercise need good music to get themselves through their workout. But in South Korea, their choice of music had been reduced under new COVID-19 rules.

DW)=5a-b(86pR

The country has increased social distancing and travel restrictions to halt the spread of the coronavirus. Now, South Korea has added a requirement that gyms must not play music that is too fast. The government set a limit of 120 beats per minute. Gyms will not be able to play faster music during group exercises.

Health officials say the measure is meant to prevent breathing too quickly or getting sweat on other people. They wanted to avoid having to close businesses completely, as they have done earlier during the coronavirus health crisis.

Opposition lawmakers, who called it "nonsense," have made fun of the rule. Gym owners see the rules as ineffective or unrealistic.

Kang told Reuters that playing happy songs "is to cheer up our members and the overall mood." He added that his biggest question is if playing slower music has been proven to have any effect on the spread of the virus.

He questioned how it will be possible to control the music people listen to when they wear personal listening devices like earphones.

The new rules also limit running on gym equipment to no faster than six kilometers an hour. They ban the use of showers at gyms. And they restrict the popular sport, table tennis, to two people on a table, among other measures.

Kim Young-tae is a member of the main opposition People Power Party. He added, "So you don't get COVID-19 if you walk slower than 6 (kilometers) per hour?" Kim added, "And who on earth checks the bpm of the songs when you work out? I don't understand what COVID-19 has to do with my choice of music."

A health official said the government came up with the new rules after considering many different options.

President Moon Jae-in on Monday said he was saddened when thinking of small and middle-sized business owners and others who feel the weight of the rules.

"I can't help but feel very sorry to once again ask the citizens for a bit more patience," he said at a special COVID-19 policy meeting.

Whang Myung-sug is a 62-year-old member of Kang's gym. She said the government is unfair in the way it is restricting gyms.

She said these rules are just the usual way the government makes plans complex. She said the government officials made the rules as if they "had never worked out at a gym."
