In 2022, around 66 percent of women classified as overweight in South Korea stated that they had attempted to lose weight within the last year of their own accord. Among overweight men, this rate stood at 57.2 percent. While men have demonstrated a lower tendency to attempt to lose weight since 1998, the gap between the genders has widened in recent years.
