In Family Month, Meeting the 'Yongsa'... LIG Nex1 Sends Letters and Gifts to Bereaved Families

Month Honoring Fallen Navy Soldiers of the West Sea

Consolation Messages Delivered to Bereaved Families for 13 Years

LIG Nex1 remembers May, the ‘Month of Family,’ differently.

For 13 years, they have held a small event in this month to honor the naval soldiers who sacrificed their lives defending the territory for their families and the nation.

As a leading defense company in South Korea embodying the value of patriotism and veterans’ honor, LIG Nex1 (CEO Kim Ji-chan) supports the parents and bereaved families of naval soldiers who heroically died protecting our territorial waters during the Month of Family.

LIG Nex1 has continued this event for 13 years since 2011 to commemorate the noble sacrifices of soldiers in the Second Battle of Yeonpyeong, the Yeonpyeong Island shelling, and the Cheonan ship attack, and to express gratitude to their families.

LIG Nex1 presents health gift sets and letters to the bereaved families of the West Sea Defense heroes in celebration of Family Month in May.

This year as well, they sent ‘health gift sets’ along with letters of appreciation to the parents and bereaved families of 53 fallen soldiers. Each word conveyed their respect for the sacrifices and wishes for the families’ health.

In March, on the occasion of ‘West Sea Defense Day,’ LIG Nex1 held a memorial photo exhibition for the ‘55 West Sea Defense Warriors’ at the Pangyo R&D Center in collaboration with the Cheonan Foundation. Since 2011, they have also held annual memorial events at Daejeon National Cemetery to honor the sacrifices of the West Sea defense heroes.

A company official stated, “We will continue to hold events every May to thank and comfort the parents and bereaved families. The warriors defended the country with their lives, and our company will ensure that no one dares to infringe on our territory through the development of weapon systems.”

In 2010, LIG Nex1 became the first in the defense industry to establish a sisterhood relationship with Section 30 of Seoul National Cemetery. They also formed sisterhood ties with Section 4 of Daejeon National Cemetery in 2012, and Sections 11 and 12 of Yeongcheon National Cemetery in 2018. These commitments include maintaining the cemetery areas and conducting various patriotic and veterans’ honor activities such as the National Cemetery New Year’s ceremony.
