A quick look at K-pop bpms suggests Blackpink fans might suffer a bit more than followers of BTS.

Even moderate aerobic exercise like jogging is better paired with songs around 120-140bpm, while intense workouts like Zumba and CrossFit require even faster music.

So Seoul's new guidelines are good news if you're the sort of person, like me, who hangs out at the back of the class half-heartedly shuffling around and watching the clock. South Korea's pop chart is forgiving on bpms, with eight of the top 10 passing the tempo test. BTS, the country's biggest musical export, are on safe ground. Their two biggest hits, Butter and Dynamite, sit comfortably in the 110-115 range.It's not looking so good for female counterparts Blackpink. All of their biggest singles hover around 130 bpm. Let's hope gym class-related royalties don't account for too much of their income.

Seoul's restrictions on gyms are part of a raft of measures that were introduced in the region on Monday that are set to last for two weeks. Gatherings are limited to four, and decrease to two after 18:00. Nightclubs and bars are also required to close and schools will move their classes online.Dua Lipa & Silk City - Electricity Justin Timberlake - Can't Stop The Feeling Jonas Blue ft JP Cooper - Perfect Strangers Skrillex ft Sirah - Bangarang
