LG Uplus will provide the U+ Elementary Country service free of charge for two years, and LG HelloVision will supply 30 dedicated smartpads for U+ Elementary Country. The total support amount is approximately 32 million KRW. The delivered devices will be used for online learning by underprivileged children at children’s centers in a total of 10 regions, including Jindo, Jeollanam-do.
