Yongsan-gu, Home Security Service for 99 Single Female Households Receives Positive Response

LG Uplus Collaborates to Provide 'Woorijip Jikimi Easy' Free to 99 Single Female Households...Notifies Mobile Phone Upon Unauthorized Entry

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] “Living alone as a woman, I was vaguely worried that someone might break into my home, but after receiving the home security service, my concerns have greatly diminished. I am satisfied.”

This is the story of Kim Yujeong (pseudonym), who lives in Cheongpa-dong, Yongsan-gu.

Yongsan-gu (District Mayor Seong Janghyun) is receiving positive responses from residents for the ‘Home Security Service for Single Women Households’ project in collaboration with LG Uplus (CEO Hwang Hyunsik).

The home security service installs the IoT-based ‘Uri Jip Jikimi Easy’ product in single-woman households, providing features such as ▲real-time video monitoring and recording ▲two-way voice communication ▲detection of front door, room door, and window openings ▲motion and light change detection.

If an outsider intrudes into the home, the related information is sent to the user’s mobile phone, and if necessary, police can be notified with one touch. It also includes a ‘time-lapse’ function that allows users to review the home’s video footage over the course of a day.

According to LG Uplus’s survey, a significant number of users are satisfied with the service.

Most responses were positive, such as “It was good to be able to see inside the house in real-time from outside even when I was away for a long time,” and “It was good to be able to check the situation through the camera app when an outsider visited.”

Half of the respondents also said they would recommend the product to acquaintances.

At the end of last year, the district signed a ‘Smart Welfare Yongsan Project’ agreement with LG Uplus and provided the Uri Jip Jikimi Easy product free of charge to 99 single-woman households in the area. The service period is three years.

Baek Yongdae, head of LG Uplus’s CSR team, said, “With the home security three-piece set including Mamca Easy, door sensors, and motion detection sensors, we will contribute to making Yongsan-gu a safe place for women,” adding, “We will fulfill our corporate social responsibility through ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management.”

Seong Janghyun, mayor of Yongsan-gu, said, “Our district is making efforts to alleviate women’s anxiety through various methods such as operating dedicated personnel for the Anshim-i app, violence prevention education at public institutions, creating women-friendly city projects, and installing safe alleyway signposts,” and expressed gratitude to LG Uplus for their support.
