[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] LG Display announced on the 20th that it will help children suffering from food insecurity during the summer vacation through the 'Executive Personal Item Online Sharing Auction.'

Executives, including LG Display President Jung Ho-young, donated over 110 personal items such as clothing, alcoholic beverages, sports and leisure goods, and electronic devices to practice sharing.

LG Display added a donation to the proceeds from the sharing auction, raising a total of 28 million KRW. This money will be used to provide healthy lunchboxes to about 200 underprivileged elementary school students who cannot use school meals during the summer vacation.

Jo Hee-min, a junior staff member at LG Display's Mobile Manufacturing Center who participated in the online auction, said, "Purchasing executives' personal items was meaningful, but above all, it was more significant to be able to practice sharing for the children."

This event is a social contribution program where LG Display employees participate in donations and auctions to practice neighborly love. This year, the 5th event was held to support children suffering from food insecurity during a summer vacation made much harder by COVID-19.

An LG Display official stated, "Thanks to the employees who actively participated in the auction, empathizing with the good cause of helping children, many donated items were sold at prices higher than the market value."
