Coupang Chief Harold Rogers Inspects Seoul Night-Delivery Hub Ahead of Hanam Lawmaker Experience

Coupang Korea chief Harold Rogers visited Coupang Camp in Songpa-gu, Seoul, to inspect the night-delivery operation and observe the working environment, in a prelude to a planned “night delivery experience” by a lawmaker.

The visit occurred the day before Yeom Tae-yeong, a member of the ruling Democratic Party, is slated to personally experience night-delivery work on the 19th in Hanam, a city in Gyeonggi Province near Seoul.

The idea for a lawmakers’ night-delivery experience originated at the end of last year, when Yeom proposed it during a joint parliamentary hearing with Coupang’s Korea chief executive.

Coupang said Rogers visited the site to inspect delivery operations and to commend front-line workers ahead of the lawmaker’s program.

Coupang operates one of South Korea’s largest e-commerce platforms and maintains a substantial logistics network across the country, a context for policy discussions about labor conditions in overnight and late-hour delivery.

The arrangement matters beyond Korea because U.S. and global supply chains depend on around-the-clock delivery services, and how major firms address worker welfare and regulatory expectations can influence international business practices and investment.

Songpa is a southeastern district of Seoul; Hanam sits just east of the capital in Gyeonggi Province. The ongoing talk about night delivery reflects broader policy discussions among lawmakers, industry players and workers about safe, reliable logistics in a 24/7 economy.
