Zack Snyder just dropped another reminder of how strong his connection with Asia remains.
The filmmaker shared on Instagram that he exercised and filmed a video with Kim Jong Kook, a popular South Korean fitness YouTuber known as Gym Jong Kook.
I follow this influencer—they’re huge! With over 3.16 million subscribers, they’re a really big deal in the Korean entertainment and fitness worlds. I always learn a lot from their content.
Snyder posted a picture of himself with Gym Jong Kook, explaining that Gym Jong Kook came to his home gym and recorded a video for his YouTube channel.
Snyder called it a ridiculous day, but the collaboration says a lot more than that.

Asia’s Connection to Snyder Keeps Growing
This latest collab lines up perfectly with what our insiders have been saying for months.
Asia has consistently been a key area of support for Zack Snyder’s films, and he continues to connect with fans there directly, unlike the current team at DC.
Snyder’s appeal across Asia did not happen by accident.
People consistently connect with his films because of their strong visuals, heroic characters, and epic scope. This connection has continued even after his DC movies finished their theatrical runs.
Snyder’s Cultural Footprint Across Asia
The roots of Snyder’s popularity in Asia go back years.
As we’ve learned, the movement to release Zack Snyder’s cut of the film actually started with a fan in China.
Modern Korean zombie films, such as Train to Busan, were heavily influenced by George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead.
Indian fantasy films often reflect Snyder’s sense of scale and visual intensity.
The DC Café in Singapore was built around Snyder’s DC era.
The Philippines still displays SnyderVerse statues in cinemas today.
Today’s K-pop visuals often feel similar to concepts Gary Snyder presented in Sucker Punch, a film that was, in turn, inspired by classic Asian action movies.
This is cultural reach that goes far beyond box office numbers.
Snyder Builds While DC Reboots
The partnership with Gym Jong Kook is notable because Snyder continues to connect with Asian creators and fans, even as DC Studios works to redefine its brand.
Zack Snyder doesn’t rely on publicity tours or studio marketing to stay popular. He has a direct connection with fans who already enjoy his films.
It’s striking how differently these DC properties are performing. Gunn’s Superman film had a tough time in Asian markets, and Supergirl didn’t generate much excitement, failing to rank among the most anticipated releases. In contrast, Snyder remains a popular and in-demand filmmaker, continuing to receive opportunities and collaborations.
