Heo Namjun's Construction Site Gig Job

Actor Heo Nam-jun revealed his past experience working as a day laborer on construction sites during his student days. He shared this fact while appearing on the web entertainment show "Salon Drip" on the YouTube channel "Teo."

On the broadcast that day, Heo Nam-jun mentioned that he had experience with various part-time jobs, including chicken restaurants, PC bangs, and pubs. He specifically stated that he often worked as a day laborer at sites where buildings were being demolished and rebuilt, or at apartment construction sites. He recounted an amusing anecdote about being "physically cast" when he was working at a building construction site in Shindang-dong. The site manager saw Heo Nam-jun's physique and said, "You look like you could carry bricks well," and directly offered him a job on the spot.

Actress Lim Ji-yeon, who appeared alongside him, also shared her unique part-time job experiences. She revealed that she worked at a ramen restaurant in Gangnam to eat delicious ramen and at a handmade burger joint in Daehangno to eat handmade burgers.

Regarding Lim Ji-yeon, with whom he co-starred in the drama "Wonderful New World," Heo Nam-jun said that contrary to her appearance, they have become very close and comfortable with each other, to the point where he could count them among his closest friends. The two recently finished filming for "Wonderful New World" and expressed their anticipation for the drama.

Netizens reacted to Heo Nam-jun's experience as a day laborer on construction sites and his "physically cast" anecdote with comments such as, "I understand when I see his physique," and "The compliment about looking like he could carry bricks well is hilarious," expressing their fondness for his surprising past.
