Rowing in Seoul

By the Watta Team · Updated March 2026

Seoul's rowing scene is anchored by the Han River, where clubs train on the purpose-built Misari Regatta Course that hosted the 1988 Olympic rowing events. South Korea's fitness culture is dynamic, and CrossFit boxes and premium gyms across the capital increasingly feature Concept2 ergs for indoor rowing training.
