As many people flocked to the online pre-order for the Casper vehicle, the website temporarily went down, but it was restored, and it is reported that President Moon successfully completed his purchase.

The Blue House explained that the purchase application for the vehicle produced under the 'Gwangju-type Job' is to support the successful establishment and spread of the win-win regional job policy promoted by the Moon Jae-in administration to revitalize the local economy together with the public.

Spokesperson Park said, "'Gwangju-type Job' is the first win-win regional job," adding, "It is a new economic model of region-led customized development and co-growth between labor and management through social grand compromise among local labor, management, civil society, and government."

After signing the win-win agreement in January 2019, the factory was completed in April, two years and three months later. The first model, the 'Casper' vehicle, is scheduled to be delivered on the 15th.

Spokesperson Park said, "Starting with the 'Gwangju-type Job,' win-win agreements have been made in eight regions so far, and it is expected to create a total investment of 51 trillion won and 130,000 direct and indirect jobs in the future."
