Move Over Pilates — Here’s The New Korean Celebrity Work Out Craze

There is a new workout trend taking over the world of Korean actresses and idols.

Many idols and actresses including Suzy and Girls’ Generation‘s Sooyoung have been spotted doing ballet.

In particular, all of the celebrities have been spotted at Muse Ballet Studio in Apgujeong.

The low-impact exercise is a way to improve flexibility, posture, and strength.

However, many netizens in the comments believe its true appeal is the “Instagram-able” aesthetic.

Many shared that they are intrigued by the form of exercise.

• “I’ve heard a lot of actors and models do this. They need it for posture, flexibility, etc., and I think even male actors learn it somewhere… somewhere I read it.”
• “Ballet is seriously so freaking hard and makes you sweat a ton.”
• “Everyone has good posture.”
• “Even just standing in ballet looks hard—who hit them?”
• “It seems good because it also helps with body shape and posture correction. I’d want to try it too if I had the time or money.”
