Trivial curiosity - Koreans and eggs

I'm still enjoying watching Korean TV shows. One thing I've noticed is that eating eggs seems very common. But not just breakfast.

Hard boiled eggs while at the sauna/bath spa (i.e. public bath), on trains, etc.

And not just one. Like 3-4+ per sitting per person.

Are hard boiled eggs as snacks really common in Korea like this? Why?

I imagine it's relatively easy and cheap to raise chickens and eggs are packed with energy.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

That's Asians in general. Every Taiwanese C store carries tea boiled eggs.
