Jeon Woo-won, the grandson of former South Korean dictator Jeon Du-hwan, is currently making a living as a delivery driver.
Jeon's situation was first revealed in March through the YouTube channel 'Hypocrite,' and it has recently gained renewed attention after another YouTube channel shared the video.
In the video, Jeon explains that he goes to church for choir practice in the early morning before commuting for 1 hour and 20 minutes by public transport to a logistics center for an online shopping mall.
At the logistics center, he handles an average of 500 to 600 books daily and performs loading and unloading tasks when delivery trucks arrive, working a total of eight hours a day, including lunch breaks.
Jeon mentioned that this is the first time he has signed a work contract, stating, “I am grateful to be able to work at all because I made a significant mistake. I am trying to do my best.” He also expressed appreciation for his coworkers, saying, “They are really great. I am happy because of them.”
However, he is suffering from back pain due to the physical nature of the job. He reported that the pain worsens every time he lifts a package and that he is seeking treatment at a traditional medicine clinic.
Jeon shared, “I spent all the money I earned from my part-time job on an MRI scan. Fortunately, I was diagnosed with no major issues,” adding, “I think it’s been tough because I went from doing only administrative work to this physically demanding job.”
He noted that the hospital has advised him to look for other work. “I feel like I’ve spent a lot of my part-time earnings on medical bills. My condition isn’t improving, and my back is getting worse,” he expressed.
Earlier, in 2023, Jeon revealed the hidden wealth of the Jeon Du-hwan family through social media and announced his intention to forgo any inheritance left by his grandfather.
In March of that year, he visited Gwangju to meet with victims and families of the May 18 Democratic Uprising, stating, “My grandfather Jeon Du-hwan committed a grave sin before the May 18 incident,” as he knelt and bowed his head.
He has also shared an AI webtoon revealing his family history and is involved in drug addiction prevention activities.
