"Promoting Media Education" LG Uplus and Viewer Media Foundation Join Hands

[Asia Economy, reporter Koo Chae-eun] On June 9, LG Uplus signed a business agreement with the Korea Foundation for Media Education and Audience (Viewer Media Foundation) to "promote media education and strengthen mutual cooperation." The purpose of the agreement is to cooperate with each other through the exchange of human and material resources for the development of media education.

In particular, as the importance of remote education increases due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, LG Uplus will donate 1,000 smart pads worth 100 million won to the foundation. The foundation plans to distribute these smart pads through 10 Viewer Media Centers nationwide (Busan, Gwangju, Gangwon, Daejeon, Incheon, Seoul, Ulsan, Gyeonggi, Chungbuk, Sejong) and use them to provide smart media education and online lectures for underprivileged groups.

Hwang Hyunsik, Head of Consumer Business at LG Uplus, stated, "We will support the activation of media education by providing LG Uplus's technology and human resources." Shin Taeseop, Chairman of the Viewer Media Foundation, expressed his expectations by saying, "We will continue to cooperate with LG Uplus to overcome the COVID-19 situation and promote media education."
