Jeon Wook-min, 38, Pursues Acting Dream While Working as Delivery Driver

Jeon Wook-min (전욱민), the 38-year-old younger brother of South Korean actress Jeon So-min (전소민), 40, recently shared an update on his life. He revealed he currently supports himself by working as a delivery driver while continuing to pursue his dream of becoming an actor, confessing he sometimes feels "embarrassed." His candid remarks have drawn significant attention.

On the 11th, Jeon Wook-min uploaded a video to his personal social media, writing, "I have to keep running today." In the video, he shared his experiences growing up as Jeon So-min's brother, the origins of his acting dream, and his current daily life.

Jeon Wook-min revealed, "My sister is a famous actress, and thanks to her, I've appeared on several shows, which made me dream of becoming an actor too." Having observed his sister's entertainment career up close for a long time, he admitted that the profession didn't seem so out of reach for him. "Watching from the side, it felt very familiar, so honestly, I really thought I would succeed too back then."

However, upon facing reality, Jeon Wook-min discovered that things were not as easy as he had imagined. He confessed, "The wall of reality is much higher and thicker than I thought." Now 38 years old, he lamented, "I'm already 38, and I'll be 40 soon. I don't have an impressive resume, nor have I saved any money."

Furthermore, because his sister is a celebrity, people around him previously assumed his family was well-off and that he had a lot of money. But Jeon Wook-min emphasized, "Everyone thought I was rich because my sister is an entertainer. But that money has nothing to do with me; it's all my sister's money, earned by her."

To make ends meet while continuing to pursue what he truly wants to do, Jeon Wook-min currently works as a delivery driver. He admitted, "I do delivery work to do what I want to do." However, he didn't shy away from admitting that he occasionally feels awkward about the job. "Sometimes I feel embarrassed. It's hard to talk about doing delivery work at this age."
