[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] LG HelloVision announced on the 24th that it will deliver 'Maeumnanum Packages' made up of holiday foods and ingredients sold by small merchants in traditional markets to vulnerable groups in the region in celebration of Chuseok.

This program was prepared to support small merchants in local traditional markets who are experiencing economic difficulties due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and vulnerable groups in welfare blind spots.

LG HelloVision employees visited local traditional markets such as Andonggu Market and Yeongju 365 Market in the Yeongnam region, and Choryang Market in Busan to assemble and package holiday foods and ingredients to be delivered to vulnerable groups, preparing the Maeumnanum Packages. They plan to review the support effects and expand to traditional markets in other regions.

The packages will be delivered to 210 households of elderly people living alone in the region before Chuseok. Jung Yoo-sung, president of the Andonggu Market Merchants Association, said, "Although everyone is facing difficulties due to COVID-19, I felt grateful to LG HelloVision for taking the lead in supporting the local economy," and added, "I am glad to participate in sharing kindness with neighbors in our neighborhood by gathering small sincerity ahead of the Chuseok holiday."

Lee Su-jin, head of LG HelloVision's CSR team, said, "I hope the small gift prepared together by employees and small merchants will become a warm strength for the local community," and added, "We will continue to prepare social contribution activities that link revitalization of the local economy and support for vulnerable groups."
