Jong-ik Jang used to run a private academy before he joined Coupang. The income was unstable and the work stressful, leading to an unhealthy lifestyle. When Jong-ik learned that Coupang was hiring employees for its night shift, he leapt at the opportunity.

The difference for Jong-ik was like night and day. “I used to be overweight,” said Jong-ik. “But as a picker, I got to move around a lot, which helped me get fit.” He added, “On top of that, I get good enough sleep, so I can keep a healthier and more regular lifestyle than before.”

Jong-ik’s job at Coupang has transformed his life beyond just health. “It was stable and paid well, so it helped me secure a new home with my fiancée,” Jong-ik said. “Choosing Coupang and working the night shift was a turning point in my life. Thanks to Coupang, I got healthy and am also getting married!”
