Jeon Woo-won works logistics part-time jobs to support himself

Jeon Woo-won, the grandson of former South Korean President Chun Doo-hwan, has revealed that he is supporting himself through part-time work in logistics. In videos shared on his YouTube channel, ‘Wihunja’, Jeon is seen performing tasks such as packing books and loading/unloading delivery trucks.

Jeon reported working eight-hour shifts, often packing between 500 and 600 books per day. He noted that the physical labor has caused significant back pain, leading him to spend his weekly earnings on an MRI scan. He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to work, stating that he feels fortunate to have employment after his previous legal issues.

Jeon gained public attention in 2023 after exposing allegations regarding his family's slush funds and admitting to drug use, for which he received a suspended prison sentence. He has also publicly apologized to the victims of the May 18 Gwangju Democratization Movement for his grandfather's actions.
