Magic, Song, and Hybridization Rule the Day
Tuesday, April 7th, 2009
Press day and opening day are fundamentally different animals at the Seoul Motor Show. Press day is a highly regimented event where a desperate crowd of camera-wielding people crowd one booth after another in a prearranged schedule, and each carmaker attempts to outdo the others in pizzazz and style. Opening day, on the other hand, has only one press scrum - the opening ceremony.

Seoul Motor Show 2009 Photo Spread I
Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

The Seoul Motor Show 2009's press day was today, and both Chun Go-eun and I were there to take the photos and get the hard-hitting stories about new cars.  Overall the event seemed to be just the same as previous events, since there was just as large a swarm of reporters as there always is, and the auto companies seemed to spare no expense to try to impress, as they have in the past.  Judging from the show, there is no economic crisis.  However, there was one big theme in that every company was talking about hybrids, green cars, and alternative fuels.

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009
When Ju-Yung Chung founded Hyundai Auto Service in Seoul in 1946 at the age of 31, nobody knew that it would grow to be one of the leading auto makers in the world. Also, when he broke ground for the construction of Hyundai Motor Company in Ulsan in 1967, few imagined that the company would extend its business and build assembly lines in Alabama. More surprisingly, when the young Chung started to assemble the Ford Cortina in 1968, just a year after the ground breaking, nobody thought that it would even survive fierce confrontations with such big lions from Japan, France, Germany and the US.
