The buzz around Tesla’s futuristic Cybertruck has reached South Korea, and the first officially registered vehicle has caught everyone’s attention.

Fans initially speculated that the owner might be a big-name celebrity like G-Dragon, but the truth has been revealed—and it’s someone else entirely!

The first Cybertruck in South Korea belongs to none other than singer Kim Junsu. On December 23, a foreign car import and sales company shared a post titled "Tesla Cybertruck with First Korean License Plate", showing the sleek vehicle being registered with its new license plate. The post quickly spread across online communities, stirring up excitement among car enthusiasts.

The original post revealed the license plate number, leading fans to identify Kim Junsu as the proud owner.

Addressing the situation, a representative from the company explained, “We coordinated with Kim Junsu and his agency before sharing the post. However, we didn’t clearly mention his name, which caused confusion among fans. We deeply apologize for this oversight.”

The representative also acknowledged the backlash over the visible license plate, saying, “We regret not blurring the plate more effectively, which caused discomfort. The post has since been corrected. Despite these issues, we are grateful for Kim Junsu’s patience and understanding.”

They added, “Kim Junsu waited for four months during the lengthy certification process, even though we expedited it by flying the vehicle over by plane. He never expressed frustration, and I feel incredibly apologetic for the delay.”

Tesla’s Cybertruck, with its bold and futuristic design, is estimated to cost between 83.56 million to 136.96 million won in South Korea, depending on the model.

While G-Dragon previously made headlines for riding a Cybertruck with temporary plates at Incheon International Airport, the first officially registered owner is now confirmed to be Kim Junsu.

Kim Junsu’s new ride is certainly turning heads—and fans can’t wait to see what he does next!
