People who hold a Korean-English driver's license can now get behind the wheel in more countries around the world.
The Road Traffic Authority said Thursday a South Korean issued license with the driver's information in Korean and English is now recognized as an international license in 54 countries.
They include Hong Kong, New Zealand, Singapore, Panama, the Netherlands, Yemen and Cameroon.
South Korea started issuing the Korean-English licenses in September 2019.
Previously, travelers had to get an international driver's permit to hit the road overseas.
