Fitness industry in South Korea - statistics & facts
Personal health and fitness are rising in popularity among South Koreans. As income levels rise alongside the life expectancy rate, more and more people are displaying an interest in their physical well-being. Much like how the introduction of major fitness chains in the United States kickstarted its domestic workout culture in the 1980s, South Korea is also experiencing a burgeoning gym culture of its own. For example, KD Healthcare, which operates the largest fitness chain spoAny in South Korea, continues to record revenue growth.
