Lim Ju-hwan keeps running through 40°C heatwave

Actor Lim Ju-hwan has drawn attention for his unwavering self-discipline, revealing his recent life as he continues running even amidst a record-breaking heatwave. Having previously gone viral after reports surfaced of him working at a Coupang logistics center last year, he once again showcased his diligent nature by sharing his sweat-drenched daily life.

On the 5th, Lim posted a single photo on his SNS with the short caption, "Running."

In the released photo, Lim is seen drenched in sweat after finishing a run, wearing black sleeveless athletic wear. His face, neck, and even his top are soaked, hinting at his passion for refusing to stop his workout despite the record-breaking sweltering heat.

As he continues to manage his physique steadily despite consecutive days of heatwaves and feverish nights, fans sent supportive messages such as, "This is truly amazing," "Running in this heat?" "As expected, his self-management is on another level," and "I just hope he stays healthy."

Lim previously garnered attention when he was spotted in an unexpected location.

Earlier this year, eyewitness accounts of him working at the Coupang logistics center in Icheon, Gyeonggi-do, last August spread online. The reviews released at the time drew significant interest, noting that Lim worked silently alongside other employees.

In particular, as news spread of him working diligently on-site rather than resting on his status as an actor, positive reactions followed, such as, "My liking for him has grown even more," and "It is impressive to see him living his life so consistently."

Recently, Lim has been meeting audiences on the stage of the play 'Lungs.'

Based on the play of the same name by British playwright Duncan Macmillan, the production delicately portrays major life moments—including love, marriage, pregnancy, miscarriage, birth, and death—centered around the relationship between a man and a woman living in modern society.

From his consistent daily routine of starting the day with exercise even in sweltering weather to his serious acting on the theatrical stage, Lim continues his journey through sincerity rather than flashiness.
