Actor Lim Ju-hwan's Surprising Stint at Coupang Warehouse Confirmed

Actor Lim Ju-hwan, who signed an exclusive contract with Basecamp Company, founded by Cha Tae-hyun and Jo In-sung last May, has been confirmed to have worked at a Coupang logistics center.

On the 27th, Basecamp Company officially stated, "He worked at the Coupang logistics center for a short period in the past," acknowledging the online sightings as true.

On the 26th, an online community and social media post claimed that Lim Ju-hwan was working at the Coupang logistics center in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province, last year. The poster mentioned, "I met him on-site and got his autograph," adding that "his diligent work ethic was impressive." Additional comments followed, claiming sightings at other centers, sparking interest.

The revelation that a leading actor, not a supporting or minor one, worked at a logistics center surprised many. However, according to his agency, it was a past short-term job, and he is not currently employed there.

Lim Ju-hwan debuted in 2003 with the MBC sitcom 'Nonstop' and has appeared in various works such as 'Oh My Ghost', 'Uncontrollably Fond', and 'Three Bold Siblings'. Recently, he has been active in theater with plays like 'Killology' and 'Pride'.

Since the conclusion of the KBS 2TV weekend drama 'Three Bold Siblings' in March 2023, there has been no news of his next domestic drama project. This remains his latest appearance on the domestic small screen.

Meanwhile, he gained attention for his diligent work ethic on the tvN variety show 'Unexpected Business'. The revelation of his short-term work at a logistics center has drawn interest in this realistic aspect of the actor's life.
