[Asia Economy Reporter Seulgina Jo] LG Uplus announced on the 29th that it held the launch ceremony of the ‘Dudream U+ Magic Account,’ a program that helps asset formation for adolescents from families with disabilities, in a non-face-to-face format.

‘Dudream U+ Magic Account’ is a social contribution activity that provides scholarships and mentoring to about 150 adolescents from families with disabilities every year. When adolescents from these families save 20,000 KRW monthly, LG Uplus employees contribute 20,000 KRW, and LG Uplus adds 60,000 KRW, accumulating a total of 100,000 KRW. The approximately 6 million KRW saved over five years is used for college entrance fees or job preparation funds for the adolescents. Additionally, LG Uplus employees who serve as mentors help support the emotional growth of the adolescents through relationship-building programs such as leisure experiences and camps.

At the launch ceremony, attended by about 100 mentors and mentees, a fruit-giving ceremony was held for 30 pairs of mentors and mentees who have participated in the Dudream U+ Magic Account over the past five years. Among the 30 graduated mentees, 18 succeeded in college admission or employment, and 10 students are awaiting regular admission results.

Park Hyung-il, Vice President of LG Uplus, said, "Starting with this launch ceremony, I am confident that they will grow into key talents who will carry the future of the local community and Korea beyond individual development." Kim In-gyu, President of the Korea Disabled Rehabilitation Association, the organizing body, said, "We ask for continuous interest and love so that mentees taking their first steps into society can grow even more."

Since 2010, LG Uplus and the Korea Disabled Rehabilitation Association have selected a total of 398 adolescents from families with disabilities and have been conducting the ‘Dudream U+ Magic Account’ program. Including 30 students graduating from high school this year, a total of 248 graduates have been produced, and a total of 1.562 billion KRW in scholarships has been awarded.
