LG Group donated 1 billion won on the 28th to Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association to help residents in Busan, South Gyeongsang Province, Jeonnam-Gwangju and other southern regions that suffered heavy damage from recent torrential rain. The donation will be used to speed up recovery efforts and support evacuees in flood-hit areas.

LG also plans to deliver emergency relief kits, including blankets, relief clothing and daily necessities, through the Korean Red Cross to help evacuees staying in temporary shelters. Since 2022, LG has worked with the Korean Red Cross to produce 2,000 emergency relief kits a year for people displaced by natural disasters and distribute them when disasters strike.

An LG official said, “We will continue to provide support so that evacuees facing hardship can quickly regain stability and return to their daily lives.”

LG affiliates are also actively stepping in to help residents in the affected areas.

LG Electronics is operating a mobile service program that visits flood-damaged households directly. It is deploying specialized flood-response vehicles equipped with professional tools to help clean, repair and replace parts in water-damaged appliances.

LG Uplus plans to provide Wi-Fi service at temporary shelters and support mobile phone charging so evacuees can use communication services without disruption.
