[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Eun-mo] LG Uplus is partnering with the Ministry of Justice and the Korean Red Cross to support the integration of Afghan special contributors into Korean society.

LG Uplus announced on the 6th that it held a 'Support Goods Delivery Ceremony' with the Ministry of Justice and the Korean Red Cross to provide internet services and exclusive U+ Elementary Country tablets to Afghan special contributors residing in Korea. The ceremony was attended by Park Beom-gye, Minister of Justice; Hwang Hyun-sik, CEO of LG Uplus; Shin Hee-young, Chairman of the Korean Red Cross; and officials from the three organizations.

The 391 Afghan special contributors who assisted the Korean government have been receiving adaptation education since arriving in Korea last August. LG Uplus installed LTE routers at the Jeonnam Yeosu Coast Guard Education Center, where the special contributors temporarily reside, to enable free internet access.

Online education for minor special contributors is also supported. Among the special contributors, 139 are minors preparing to transfer to Korean schools in February next year. LG Uplus plans to support their learning by providing U+ Elementary Country exclusive tablets and content free of charge, and will offer free data usage for content playback for 12 months.

To support Korean language education for the special contributors, LG Uplus is also providing ‘Enuma Geulbang,’ a specialized Korean language education service. Enuma Geulbang offers Korean language learning content tailored to multicultural children who are behind their peers in studying Korean.

Shin Hee-young, Chairman of the Korean Red Cross, expressed gratitude, saying, “We appreciate LG Uplus’s humanitarian support for Afghan special contributors and their families,” and added, “By providing customized educational content for minor children who need Korean culture and language education, we expect they will adapt more quickly to their new school life.”

Hwang Hyun-sik, CEO of LG Uplus, said, “We are honored to provide devices and educational content to Afghan special contributors, offering them educational opportunities,” and added, “We will actively consider any corporate responsibilities to enhance social value in the future.”
