Wasn't It G-Dragon?... Who Is the First Domestic Cybertruck Owner Idol?

Junsu Kim, First Cybertruck Owner in Korea
Even Using a Plane to Receive It as Soon as Possible

The first Tesla Cybertruck owner in South Korea has emerged. The protagonist is singer Kim Junsu.


On the 26th, numerous online communities posted that Kim Junsu had received the Cybertruck. Additionally, on the 23rd, a blog of an imported foreign car direct sales dealer posted an article titled "Tesla Cybertruck First Domestic License Plate Installation, First Official Domestic Delivery Cybertruck." The post stated, "We apologize for not informing you in advance," and "This post was made after prior coordination with Kim Junsu and his agency." Photos released with the post show the license plate mounted off-center to the right on the front and positioned lower than usual on the rear. It is known that Kim Junsu even used a plane to receive the Cybertruck as soon as possible, and the vehicle was registered as a cargo truck rather than a passenger car.

The Tesla electric pickup truck 'Cybertruck,' featuring a futuristic design with angular exterior and metal materials, ranges in price from $60,990 (approximately 83.56 million KRW) to $99,990 (approximately 136.96 million KRW) depending on the version. Initially, the Cybertruck did not gain much popularity due to its radical design and high price. However, sales increased from the third quarter onward, boosting Tesla's performance. Tesla stated, "The Cybertruck, which began deliveries at the end of last year, has turned profitable for the first time," and introduced it as "the third best-selling electric vehicle in the U.S. in the third quarter, following the Model Y and Model 3."

Meanwhile, last month, news spread that a Cybertruck was involved in a collision on a street in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, resulting in severe damage to the vehicle body, yet all four occupants miraculously survived. Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted on his social media, "The Cybertruck is tough and sturdy," along with photos of the damaged vehicle. Previously, the Cybertruck gained attention when G-Dragon recently departed for Hong Kong, arriving at the airport in the vehicle. At that time, since the Cybertruck had not been officially released in Korea, it bore a temporary license plate.
