What to look at on the map

For a yoga / pilates studio, the location factors that matter most are different from a generic retail store. When you scan Seoul on the interactive map, focus on these:

  • 🏠Residential density (500m)

    Female 25-45 within 2km = core demographic.

  • 🤝Complementary businesses

    Cafés / juice bars / wellness near you = synergy.

    Less critical (smaller bags, often walk-able).
