Married South Korean fitness influencers Kim Sunok, 57, and Kang Changdong, 62, are paragons of healthy ageing.

Their popular Instagram feed @okdong_fit features the pair – who appear far fitter than most twenty-somethings – smiling as they work out together in a gym, ride stationary bikes at home, do squats together while holding hands, and travel.

Their social media appeal goes beyond their fun workout routines. The two have an undeniably young and stylish taste in fashion. When travelling, they often dress in matching baggy jeans and fitted tops.

Kim works as director of overseas business development for the distribution and marketing company Kang founded in 2008. In the office, they wear crisp white dress shirts and suit jackets.

Then there are photos and videos of their family. At their daughter’s recent wedding in California, in the US, Kim joins in their daughter’s first dance, while an emotional Kang hugs her after the wedding dress reveal.

The couple agree that they are ageing well. They say they are healthier and happier now than when they were younger. That is not just because they have 292,000 followers on social media or because they are fitter and leaner than they ever were.
