Fromis_9’s Jiwon stunned viewers by unveiling a gritty new part-time job challenge on the YouTube channel 'Workman'. In the video released on March 25, she tried out the notorious 'Dongdaemun sourcing agent' gig—hustling through the night to get the job done.
The footage shows Jiwon grinding it out in Dongdaemun as a sourcing agent, pulling an all-nighter with a bold goal of 10 million won (about $7,400). She personally went through the wholesale buying and proxy-purchasing process, keeping pace with the lightning-fast Dongdaemun fashion market and powering through a jam-packed day. Along the way, she discovered the unexpected appeal of the job and even earned praise for her upbeat personality.
After the episode dropped, viewers reacted with enthusiasm, saying, "It feels like we finally saw what a sourcing agent really does," and "Jiwon nailed it."
