[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyewon] LG Display has continued its "Love Kimchi Sharing" for 16 years, delivering about 12,000kg (approximately 6,000 heads) of kimchi to facilities for the disabled and other neighbors to help them have a warm winter.

On the 18th, LG Display held a Love Kimchi Sharing delivery ceremony at Gumi City Hall and delivered 6,000kg of kimchi to 80 welfare facilities and partnered households within the district, including facilities for the disabled. On the 20th, a delivery ceremony will be held at Paju City Hall to distribute 6,000kg of kimchi and 5,000kg of rice (500 bags) to the local underprivileged groups.

Since 2005, LG Display employees have personally made kimchi every year to support the warm winter of underprivileged neighbors near their workplaces. This year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was difficult to hold large-scale events as before, but to continue practicing neighborly love without change, instead of an employee-participated kimchi-making event, they decided to purchase finished kimchi and deliver it.

In Paju, they decided to purchase kimchi made from local agricultural products at the vocational rehabilitation facility for the disabled, "Paju Gyo-nam Eoyuji Dongsan." In Gumi, a nearby company that makes kimchi using local agricultural products was selected.

Since its inception in 2005, LG Display's Love Kimchi Sharing has delivered about 92,000 heads (185 tons) of kimchi to approximately 5,600 underprivileged households and over 700 welfare facilities in the district, establishing itself as a representative local community social contribution activity.

Yang Jaehoon, Vice President and Head of LG Display's Management Support Group, said, "We hope LG Display's sincerity can add warmth to our neighbors' cold winter," and added, "Especially during socially difficult times such as COVID-19, we will make more efforts to care for neighbors in need around us."
