I arrived in Thailand, and there are even more BYDs now

Machine translated

I arrived in Thailand yesterday, and there are even more BYD vehicles now.
I haven't seen Hyundai or Kia yet, but it looks like Toyota is starting to take a serious hit.
When I first saw a BYD in Thailand three years ago, I thought, "This is going to sell incredibly well," and as expected, they are selling well.
When they launched in our country last year, I said BYD would succeed, but I received all sorts of criticism from "Gukppong" (extreme nationalist) comments. Looking at the situation so far, it has been a massive success.
The social atmosphere I feel in Korea feels like the old atmosphere where Japanese elders used to look down on us is being transmitted exactly as it was.
It's even worse now; because people only watch YouTube videos that mass-produce and re-produce "Gukppong" style content for profit based on inaccurate information, it seems they don't realize how fiercely the outside world is actually operating.
At the beginning of this year, I went on a business trip to Shanghai and felt that the speed of EV development and the lineup were at a level where I wondered if anyone could even compete; as for Southeast Asia, I've felt that for 2-3 years already.
I even went on a trip to Tokyo in August, and I spotted BYD vehicles there as well. I didn't see any Hyundai or Kia.
Lately, I've been closely watching Volkswagen's electric vehicles, and it feels like they are hitting rock bottom and starting to climb back up. They are almost dominating the internal combustion engine side while receiving core EV technology from China; as a result, their EV technology is improving and decent designs are starting to emerge. I can feel the world changing incredibly fast and fiercely.
For your information, Koreans can now enter Thailand through automatic immigration gates.
