\nIn an effort to curb rising COVID-19 cases, South Korea\u2019s Health Ministry has announced unprecedented new measures in Seoul-area gyms: playing fast music is not allowed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you run faster, you spit out more respiratory droplets, so that\u2019s why we are trying to restrict heavy cardio exercises\u201d said<\/a> the ministry spokesperson in a radio interview. \u201cWe also agreed on this (120 bpm) standard (with related groups) to transition strenuous aerobic exercises at fitness clubs to less-intense ones,\u201d he added, saying that the highly transmissible delta variant \u201ccan spread through short, accidental contacts.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new rules were met with protest and ridicule by some opposition lawmakers, gym owners, and gym-goers, calling it \u201cillogical, nonsensical.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo you don\u2019t get COVID-19 if you walk slower than 6 km per hour,\u201d said Kim Yong-tae, a member of the main opposition People Power Party told Reuters<\/a>. \u201cAnd who on earth checks the bpm of the songs when you work out? I don\u2019t understand what COVID-19 has to do with my choice of music.\u201d<\/p>\n

This means songs such as BTS\u2019s \u201cDynamite\u201d and \u201cButter\u201d are allowed. Kanye West\u2019s \u201cPower\u201d (77 BPM) and \u201cThe New Workout Plan\u201d (118 BPM) are in, but \u201cBlack Skinhead\u201d (133 BPM) is out.<\/p>\n

The ban on fast music in gyms are added to limiting treadmill speeds to a maximum of 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) per hour, requiring the wearing of face masks, keeping entry logs and temperature checks, and no using the shower rooms at indoor facilities.<\/p>\n

The new rules took effect in mid-July, along with a host of additional tighter restrictions in private gatherings.<\/p>\n

The South Korean capital has seen a recent spike in daily cases of more than 1,000\u2014its highest so far, which prompted the national government to put tighter restrictions into place once again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
