Moonwon Stair Cleaning & Warehouse Experience

Singer Moon Won's revelation that he worked part-time jobs at a logistics center and cleaned stairs to make a living during a period when his activities were suspended before his marriage to Shin Ji of Koyote has drawn backlash from some netizens.

Moon Won appeared on KBS2's "New Launch! Last Restaurant" with Shin Ji on the 24th and spoke about his situation after his activities ceased due to controversy surrounding his marriage. He emphasized the difficulties and his diligence at the time, saying, "While looking for things I could do, I worked at a logistics center and cleaned stairs," and "​I couldn't just sit idly, so I wanted to contribute."

Shin Ji also defended Moon Won, adding, "The other members were worried, asking if Won was okay, and when they heard he was doing cleaning part-time, they said he was a truly diligent friend."

However, some netizens criticized Moon Won's remarks, pointing out that they sounded like he was demeaning certain professions. They expressed opinions such as, "​The nuance of 'I ended up doing logistics and cleaning because my work stopped' feels like it's belittling certain jobs," "​Why do logistics and cleaning sound like 'choices of last resort'?" "​Many people make a living from those jobs," and "​It feels like there's a hierarchy of jobs."

While the experience of working diligently is positive, there is also the perspective that portraying common jobs as 'last resort options' can provoke negative reactions. On the other hand, there are also opinions that this interpretation is "a forced interpretation," showing that the same remarks can be interpreted differently depending on the listener.
