On the 8th, Fitbly posted on her YouTube channel’The gym will be closed. Through a video titled’Furniture for Sale’, he revealed that he has decided to close the Bucheon Yeokgok Store among the gyms he is operating. He explained, “I decided to close the business because I couldn’t stand it anymore,” he explained. “There is no prospect that it will improve anytime again, and I used up all the deposits to pay for the monthly rent.”
He said, “I will sell all the equipment at a bargain price,” and said, “I will donate the entire amount of the sale to my best friends.” He added, “As all the people of Korea are having a difficult time, we will prepare a video that will give you laughter and hope with a brighter image rather than a difficult time in the future.”
Fitbly also showed a crying appearance in a video posted on the 2nd, when the government decided to “extend the ban on gathering for two weeks”. As the title of the video titled’I’ll drink some soju’, he only drank one soju for 10 minutes in an empty gym. He didn’t say anything, but in the middle of the video, he covered his face with his hands or blew his eyes as if he was sorrowing.

– YouTuber’Suicide Health’ with 350,000 subscribers also complained of difficulties. Surplus Health is a YouTuber attracting attention for content that satirizes controversies related to health. He said on the 7th,’Health is safe from corona. In the video titled “Please Look at Higher People,” he said, “Health is a non-contact exercise that is performed entirely by himself.” He satirically compared the scenery of the actual gym with the’fitness gym that people who do not have fitness think of’.
He said, “The government is also reviewing indoor sports facilities, so I hope that the gym will be open even if it is limited after the 17th.” “The gym director and trainers also keep the distance between each other, so there are absolutely no cases of infection in the gym. You must do your best to avoid it. When I do my duty, my voice is strengthened.”
Health trainer Yang Chi-seung, who appeared on several broadcast programs and made known her name, also posted on her Instagram, “Please take good measures. We have no power. I know it will be a lot harder. Please once again. Please, I desperately hope that this difficult period will end as soon as possible and the vibrant daily life will be restored.”
Meanwhile, indoor sports facilities such as fitness centers have been suspended because they are included in the government’s ban on collective bargaining. Business owners who are struggling to make a living right now are appealing to the government to allow them to operate until 9 pm. In particular, what they raise is the issue of equity. Although the restaurant where you can eat without a mask is limited, it can be open until 9pm, and indoor sports facilities for children and students such as Taekwondo are exceptionally open.
The government initiated a review of the quarantine guidelines ahead of the end of the current measures on the 17th. It is a policy to check whether there are any problems with the standards as there are problems in the field. It is known that plans to allow operation after the 17th are under the premise of compliance with the quarantine regulations.
