Trot Star Jang Yoon-jung Discovers the Joy of Self-Driving Cars in Viral YouTube Video

Trot queen Jang Yoon-jung has finally found the perfect car for herself — and it drives itself. The beloved Korean singer, who has long admitted to having a license but never actually driving, took Tesla’s Full Self-Driving technology for a spin in a video uploaded to her YouTube channel Janggongjang on March 5.

In the video, titled “I think I didn’t buy a car all this time just to wait for this,” Jang shared her excitement about discovering Tesla’s FSD feature. “As everyone knows, I have a driver’s license but I can’t drive,” she explained with her characteristic humor. “But then I spotted Tesla’s FSD function. It seemed perfect for someone like me who has a license but can’t drive.”

A First-Time Driver’s Dream

Before hitting the road, Jang toured the Tesla showroom and marveled at the Falcon Wing doors of the Model X. “It’s completely futuristic,” she exclaimed. She also inspected the Cybertruck, noting its angular design with fascination.

The real magic began when Jang activated the FSD function with a single touch on the highway. As the steering wheel began moving on its own, changing lanes and recognizing surrounding vehicles, the singer was visibly amazed. “Everyone, I’m not doing anything right now. This is incredible. What a wonderful world we live in,” she said, her hands raised off the wheel.

From Autopilot to Auto-Park

A Tesla staff member explained the system’s safety protocols, noting that drivers must still maintain forward attention. If the system detects inattention five times, FSD is restricted until the next trip. Jang also tested the automatic parking feature, watching in awe as the vehicle reversed into a parking space with precision. “Oh my, look at this thing. It parks so perfectly,” she remarked.

The experience clearly left a lasting impression on the 47-year-old entertainer. “I’ve bought many cars under my name, but this is the first one I’m actually buying for myself to drive,” Jang said. “I think I didn’t drive all this time because I was waiting for a self-driving car.”

A New Chapter for Janggongjang

Jang’s Tesla adventure has generated buzz among fans and casual viewers alike, with many relating to her candid confession about being a so-called “janglong license” holder — a Korean term for someone who has a license but never drives. Multiple Korean media outlets covered the story, highlighting how FSD technology could open new possibilities for drivers who lack confidence behind the wheel.

The singer wrapped up the video by promising her subscribers more automotive content in the future. “There might be people who feel frustrated because they don’t know much about cars, but there are also people like me who want to explore even though they can’t drive well,” she said. “I’ll show you around like an automotive YouTube channel.”
