A fan sighting of actor Lim Ju-hwan working at a Coupang logistics center has lit up online communities.
A post that resurfaced recently claimed the writer saw Lim at a Coupang warehouse in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province. The post, originally shared last August, read, “Lim Ju-hwan came to pick up a shift at the Icheon center yesterday,” adding, “Maybe he was bored without a project.” The poster later commented, “It’s real. Someone even got his autograph,” and said they heard he had worked at other centers as well.
After the post drew renewed attention, his agency Base Camp Company acknowledged it. The agency stated, “It’s true that Lim Ju-hwan worked several times at a Coupang logistics center during a past gap between projects. However, he is not working there now as he is preparing for his next project.”
It’s unusual for a well-known actor to take a part-time job at a warehouse during a hiatus. Many commenters praised the move as “the right attitude,” noting he chose to stay active rather than simply wait for his next role.
Lim Ju-hwan debuted in 2003 with the drama "Nonstop 3" and has appeared in dramas "The Snow Queen," "Boys over Flowers," "Oh My Ghost," and "Uncontrollably Fond," as well as the films "A Frozen Flower" and "Broker." Last year, he was active in "Gangs of London" Season 3 and the stage production "Pride."
