[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Jae-hee] A woman in the United States experienced a bizarre incident where her newly issued driver's license featured an empty chair instead of her face.

According to Fox News on the 13th (local time), Jade Dodd (25), who lives in Tennessee, recently applied online to renew her driver's license and received the new license by mail.

The first person to notice something strange after receiving the license was Dodd's mother.

The license that Dodd's mother pointed out showed an empty chair as if an invisible person was sitting in it.

The incident occurred due to a mistake by the responsible agency: when Dodd visited the Department of Motor Vehicles, a wrongly taken photo of a chair was saved under Dodd's file, and the license was issued with that image.

The authorities stated, "We immediately corrected the error and issued a license with the proper photo."

Dodd posted the mistakenly issued license photo on Facebook, and netizens turned it into memes by creatively using the image.

Inspired by the fact that the license is used for age verification, various parodies emerged, ranging from memes showing the 'empty chair' buying beer to the 'empty chair' sitting in the driver's seat.

Dodd also shared that among these, her boss found the situation the funniest, joking that he saw a chair outside the office and greeted it in the morning thinking it was her.
