Lee Joon hits 'bubble tea hell' on Workman as Gong Cha shift tops 1M
Lee Joon tackles 500 Gong Cha recipes on Workman, sending his part-time milk tea shift past 1 million YouTube views in 2.7 days.
Actor Lee Joon has become a hot topic after a video showing him transforming into a part-time worker at the milk tea specialty shop Gong Cha and struggling through the job.
Surpassing 1 million views in 2.7 days
The video, uploaded to the YouTube channel Workman, surpassed 1 million views just 2.7 days after its release. The view count, which was 12,550 three days ago, surged instantly by 988,800, receiving an explosive response. The average daily increase in views reaches approximately 370,000.
Experiencing 'Bubble Tea Hell' under the pressure of 500 recipes
The site Lee Joon faced was more difficult than expected. Due to the nature of a milk tea specialty shop where a sophisticated customization system for sugar levels, ice amounts, and topping combinations is applied, the number of recipes to memorize was vast.
Lee Joon experienced the entire process, starting from basic tasks like preparing ingredients and boiling pearls to the full-scale beverage manufacturing stage. In the process of non-stop recipe memorization and learning brewing methods, Lee Joon experienced extreme situations that could be described as 'Bubble Tea Hell.'
Vivid part-time life on site
The video vividly captures the urgent process of handling a rush of orders after business hours begin. Along with meeting fans encountered on-site, Lee Joon drew viewers into the experience with his characteristic witty personality.
Even amidst situations continuing right until the end of his shift, Lee Joon did not lose energy and humorously expressed the difficulties that actual part-time workers face. Workman Season 3 is updated every Friday at 6:00 p.m.
