But the money makes it worth it for Kim.

He earns $4,600 or 3,400 pounds each month.

That's double the national average.

And during the day, he can spend time with his wife and soon-to-be-born child.

However, in recent months, his work became the topic of a national debate when a nighttime delivery worker died after his truck hit a pole.

Oh Seung-yong drove more than 11 hours overnight, six days a week.

His schedule barely left him time to attend his father's funeral days earlier.

Soon after, the delivery workers' union called for an end to nighttime deliveries.

They pointed their finger at the online retailer Coupang that had subcontracted him.

The company carries out most of the nighttime deliveries in the country.

We met Park Misook in front of Kupang's Seoul office.

She's fighting to end the nighttime delivery.

Her 27-year-old son died after a night shift at Kupang's warehouse five years ago.

That day, he entered the shower but didn't come out, so we went into the bathroom and found him hunched over in the tub.

Jang Deok-joon lost 33 pounds of weight during the 16 months he worked overnight.

We lost our son, but I hope no one else repeats our mistake and suffers like we did.

In December, Park and Oh Seung-yong's sister confronted the CEO of Coupang in a parliamentary hearing.

I am so sorry.

The company said deaths among their direct employees are near zero, and it strictly limits work hours to 52 hours a week.

It also pointed out that nighttime workers suffer fewer deaths than those working daytime.
