President Moon Jae-in and first lady Kim Jung-sook test drive a Hyundai Casper vehicle at Cheong Wa Dae, Wednesday. Moon purchased the micro SUV on Sept. 14 for use after he leaves office. The Casper was assembled by Gwangju Global Motors, a joint venture between Hyundai Motor and Gwangju Metropolitan Government, with Hyundai building the car factory and the central and regional governments covering financial and welfare support packages for workers. It is one of the outcomes of Moon's job creation pledges. Courtesy of Cheong Wa Dae
