Seoul, South Korea – Each weekday morning, the first task of Park Jung-hoon’s day is lugging cases of bottled water out of a freezer. With the high humidity and temperatures nearing 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit), the bottles quickly become coated in condensation as he carries them out of his basement office and loads them onto the back of his motorcycle. He then takes them to coolers set up throughout Seoul where fellow food delivery drivers can stop to grab a cold drink.
