Did you know a Korean driver's license is recognized in more than 120 countries and about 20 U.S. states, allowing holders to drive in Texas, Florida, Michigan and even Hawaii?
Spend the day following So-yeon, a seasoned driver's license test examiner and a true road veteran who holds seven different licenses of her own. She is the gatekeeper who decides who is truly qualified to get behind the wheel.
To prevent any solicitation or cheating, her morning always starts with a random draw that decides which test she will monitor for the day. From 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., she takes care of instructional sessions, written tests, on-site skills courses and real-road driving tests.
Korea, especially Seoul, is world-famous for having one of the best public transit networks on earth — you can easily survive here without ever driving. Yet, So-yeon points out one ultimate reason why having a driver's license in Korea is still incredibly attractive. What could it be? Watch to find out.
Narration: Daniel Jongha Kim
