This donation was made to help teenagers who lost their homes entirely in the large-scale wildfire that occurred in Gangneung on the 11th of last month. Immediately after the wildfire, LG Uplus visited the site to support residents by providing smartphone charging stations and free Wi-Fi. The laptop donation is a follow-up activity following these emergency relief efforts.

Kim Young-hoo, head of LG Uplus Gangwon Branch, said, “We decided to support laptops so that teenagers affected by natural disasters can continue their studies steadily even in environments where it is difficult to focus on learning.” He added, “LG Uplus will continue to fulfill its social responsibilities and strive to provide differentiated experiences to customers.”
