Choi Kang-hee’s Part-Time Newspaper Delivery Experience: A Show of Appreciation for Print Media

Actor Choi Kang-hee recently released a video of his part-time newspaper delivery experience.

On the 24th of last month, Choi Kang-hee posted a 10-minute video called ‘All things that disappear are beautiful’ on his YouTube channel ‘Me too, Choi Kang-hee’.

In the video, Choi Kang-hee visited the Chosun Ilbo Anyang Center in Anyang, Gyeonggi-do, inspected the distribution site, and began delivering newspapers.

Mr Choi, who arrived at the center after 9 pm, looked at the newspaper to be delivered and began to prepare for delivery, saying, “It reminds me of my childhood memories.” The center jointly distributed newspapers other than Chosun Ilbo.

Choi Kang-hee picked up Chosun Ilbo’s educational magazine ‘Delicious Chinese Characters’ among other newspapers and read the contents directly, saying, “It’s so interesting.”

The center’s director, who was in charge of Choi Kang-hee’s daily part-time job, asked Choi Kang-hee, “Do you know how much a newspaper subscription fee is?” When Choi Kang-hee couldn’t answer, he said, “He won 20,000.” Choi Kang-hee said, “There is a daily delivery fee… “He replied.

After Choi Kang-hee completed the so-called ‘sandpaper’ work of inserting advertisements between newspapers, he began distribution in earnest. He said himself that he wore a gray top and bottoms when delivering goods and that his dress code was ‘the color of newspaper’.

Choi Kang-hee, wearing a helmet and sitting on the back of the center director’s motorcycle, arrived at an apartment complex and began delivering goods. In one block, only two people received the newspaper. Choi Kang-hee said, “Only two people in one neighborhood read the newspaper. “We’ve seen it all in the past,” he said, expressing his regret.

As Choi Kang-hee went around the subscription homes and learned from the center’s director, when the door opened, she placed the newspaper neatly in a place where it wouldn’t rub on the floor and moved on to the next location.

At the end of the video, Choi Kang-hee said, “After spending a day with someone who has lived with newspapers for more than 30 years, I hope that newspapers will never disappear. “I think it feels like the radio I do,” he said.
