Vice President Jongsoo Lee emphasized Hyundai Motor's interest and passion for talent, saying, "I believe that the key to the success or failure of Hyundai Motor's mid- to long-term electrification strategy 'Hyundai Motor Way' and the journey to become a 'Smart Mobility Solution Company' lies in 'people.'
