It’s not every day you bump into a K-Drama star while working a shift at a logistics center, but that’s exactly what happened to some lucky workers in Icheon!
Recently, an online community post went viral claiming that actor Lim Joo Hwan was spotted working at a Coupang distribution center. The post detailed sightings of the veteran actor working hard at the facility around August of last year.
One netizen shared their experience, stating, “I saw Lim Joo Hwan working at the Icheon Coupang center. He was working so quietly and diligently. Some people recognized him and asked for autographs, which he kindly signed. It was really touching to see a celebrity working so hard.” Reports suggest he may have worked at other branches as well.
Following the buzz, Lim Joo Hwan’s agency, Base Camp Company, issued a statement on February 27. They confirmed the reports, stating simply, “It is true that Lim Joo Hwan was employed at a distribution center in the past.”
Lim Joo Hwan is a familiar face to K-Drama fans, having debuted in the classic sitcom Nonstop back in 2003. He most recently starred in the popular weekend drama Three Bold Siblings in 2023 and has been active in theater productions. Netizens are applauding his down-to-earth attitude and willingness to work hard regardless of his celebrity status.
