The number of new infections in South Korea has reached its highest level recently, prompting the government to interfere in the smallest details of life, for example, preventing clients of fitness clubs from breathing heavily, or transferring their drenched sweat to others.
From here came the idea of shooting on one of the elements that excite those passionate about exercise, which is music.
The authorities decided to ban the dissemination of music clips that exceed 120 beats per minute during group exercises in gyms.
Thus, it is possible to listen to the songs of the kings of K-pop music "BTS", such as "Dynamite" (114 beats per minute) and "Butter" (110 beats per minute), but not to Psy's famous song "Gangnam Style", which Its rhythm is 132 beats per minute.
This announcement raised eyebrows on social networking sites, as some took the initiative to prepare lists of allowed songs.
Another surprising measure is the ban on running at speeds of more than six kilometers per hour on the treadmill.
