Harold Rogers, Coupang's acting CEO, will join lawmakers from the Democratic Party of Korea for overnight parcel delivery work this month.

According to industry sources on the 11th, Rogers plans to take part in overnight parcel delivery work with Democratic Party lawmakers on the 19th. Specifics such as the time, location, and number of participants are under discussion.

The experience follows Rogers' agreement to a proposal by Democratic Party lawmaker Yeom Tae-young at a National Assembly hearing in December last year to try overnight work.

At the time, Yeom said, "I hope you will feel for yourself how much harder overnight work is than daytime work," adding, "I propose we do 12 hours of overnight work together for one day."

Rogers replied, "I will deliver with you," adding, "I have already had that kind of experience a few times. If you wish, lawmakers should also take part."

However, the schedule was postponed after Rogers underwent two police interviews. On Jan. 23, Yeom wrote on Facebook that it was "breaking a public promise to directly confirm the reality of overnight labor, using legal inquiries as a pretext."
