I've never been to South Korea and I'm unlikely to go - I've not flown since 2001 when I was in the USA when 9/11 happened, and a fear of flying and environmental concerns mean I've not been on a plane since. Anyway, it was with a mixture of amusement and outrage that I read about a gym there which has put up a sign saying 'only cultivated and elegant women allowed' and 'off limits to ajummas'.
