SEOUL: In South Korea, the debate has intensified over indoor spaces attempting to bar certain groups from entry, notably sparked by a gym’s recent decision to ban older women, creating a “no-ajumma zone”.
According to a June 10 post on Blind, an online discussion platform for verified employees, a gym in Incheon hung up a sign on its premises that said “ajumma not allowed to enter”, with an additional explanation below that read: “Only cultivated and elegant women allowed.”
