Workman is a South Korean variety YouTube channel originally hosted by Jang Sung-kyu that began in 2019. The series follows the host through different part-time and full-time jobs across South Korea for one day.

The show began on May 17, 2019 as a video segment produced by JTBC digital studio Studio LuluLala, later expanding into an independent YouTube channel in July 2019. Jang Sung-kyu, a former television news announcer, served as host for 6 years across Season 1 and Season 2. His tenure concluded on May 30, 2025 with the end of Season 2.

Episodes document the host performing tasks at workplaces such as amusement parks, convenience stores, and construction sites, concluding with a tally of the daily pay. Notable episodes featured Jang working as a talent manager for boy band EXO in 2019 and acting as a background extra on a television drama set in 2019. In July 2020, Jang released a collaborative promotional hip-hop single titled Workman with guest recording artists. The production team issued a public apology in March 2020 after viewers criticized an on-screen subtitle that mirrored online forum slang.

A spin-off exploring corporate offices, titled Walkman, aired between 2020 and 2021 on the same channel network.
