In this episode of Love, Saranghae, Peter and Andrea discuss the BRO-ization of wellness, a proliferation of wellness culture, particularly its hyper-optimized and often male-centric approach. They explore the risks associated with this trend, including burnout and the pressure to conform to rigid wellness routines.
