SEOUL, Oct. 5 (Korea Bizwire) — South Korean mobility platform Socar said Sunday that membership for its vehicle delivery service, “Handler,” surpassed 200,000 in May, doubling in just two years as flexible, gig-based work gains traction among younger drivers. According to Socar, Handler’s total membership climbed from 100,000 in May 2023 to 130,000 in 2024, before reaching 200,000 this spring. Handler allows members to earn income by transporting vehicles to designated locations and performing related services such as refueling, EV charging, or washing. The rising share of low-frequency users suggests that many engage in Handler work intermittently alongside other jobs. “The platform’s accessibility, convenience, and contactless nature align well with younger generations’ preferences,” a Socar spokesperson said.
