[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Junhyung] #College student Kim Dongjun (25) starts his day by waking up at 6 a.m. and exercising. From 6 a.m., he does home training while watching YouTube videos for an hour. Then, he studies English for an hour by watching American dramas (mid). Kim said, "I like having uninterrupted time in the morning," adding, "It feels like gaining two extra hours a day."

#Office worker Lee Jaeyoung (34) has been waking up at 4:30 a.m. for the past 50 days to read newspapers and study for certification exams before going to work. Lee said, "I started studying early in the morning when I felt lethargic due to spending more time at home because of COVID-19," adding, "I feel proud thinking that I am managing my own time."

The 'Miracle Morning Challenge,' where people wake up early to engage in self-development, is gaining popularity, especially among those in their 20s and 30s. More people are also sharing their Miracle Morning activities on social networking services (SNS).

Growth management application 'Grow' announced on the 17th that 40% of its users are mainly active between 4 a.m. and 9 a.m. According to Grow, the number of Miracle Morning-related posts certifying their goals and activities during this time frame reached about 20,000 in the past two months. In particular, posts certifying wake-up times accounted for about half, reaching around 10,000, demonstrating the popularity of Miracle Morning, according to Grow.

Jo Youngtak, CEO of Hunet, which operates Grow, said, "Due to various changes caused by COVID-19, the importance of self-development has increased, and Miracle Morning, which utilizes morning time, is gaining attention," adding, "It seems that people are sharing and encouraging each other by certifying their 'not necessarily special' morning routines on SNS, exchanging positive energy."
