They accused the carmaker and dealers of deceiving its 
customers and demanded that the contracts they made to buy the cars in 
question be annulled.They sought 30 million won (US$25,000) each in damages in case the contracts are not canceled.A total of 38 people filed the lawsuit against Volkswagen Group, Audi
 Volkswagen Korea and local dealers with the Seoul Central District 
Court, said lawyer Jason Ha, who is representing the plaintiffs.Another group of Volkswagen vehicle owners in South Korea has sued 
the German carmaker for deceiving them about emission tests following 
the first case filed last week, their legal representative said Tuesday.Nearly 500 people sent documents to proceed with a legal action 
against the carmaker since the first lawsuit was filed, he said. "The 
number of plaintiffs could soon reach a hundred. We will file a suit 
every week."     In mid-September, the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency said that Volkswagen used software that activates 
emission controls only when the car is going through official testing to
 fake test results and pass strict emission standards.The 
world's No. 1 carmaker admitted to the accusation and decided to recall 
about 500,000 vehicles in the U.S. alone. It also admitted that more 
than 10 million cars sold globally might be equipped with the "defeat 
device."Subject to investigation are Volkswagen's Golf, Jetta and Beetle and 
the Audi A3, which were allowed to be imported after meeting Euro 6 
standards.Volkswagen is expected to recall about 120,000 
vehicles sold in South Korea in connection with the deepening diesel 
emissions scandal.   Authorities here launched their own investigation and tests on emissions and fuel efficiency of the car models in question."A recall does not erase the illegality it 
has committed," Ha said. "We are also taking into consideration the 
depreciation of the used cars in the market as the brand image has been 
severely damaged."The next lawsuit will be lodged on Oct. 13.<br />
