Its affiliates will also engage in emergency relief efforts such as repairing water-damaged home appliances and supporting wireless communication services.

LG Electronics has established service bases in the Chungcheong region, which was severely affected by the heavy rains, and is conducting free repair services for water-damaged appliances. Starting from the 16th, service bases were set up at the administrative welfare centers in Osong-eup, Heungdeok-gu, Cheongju-si, Chungbuk, and Buljeong-myeon, Goesan-gun, and from the 17th at the Gongju Women’s Long-term Youth Shelter in Chungnam, beginning restoration activities. LG Electronics inspects the condition of water-damaged electronic products regardless of brand or manufacturer on-site and performs cleaning, repairs, and parts replacement. They also operate a 'visiting service' where service managers directly visit affected households, and plan to expand service areas centered on affected regions, starting with Chungcheong.

LG Household & Health Care plans to support disaster victims in the Chungcheong and Gyeongsang regions, which suffered significant damage from the heavy rains, by providing essential daily items such as bottled drinking water, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, and body wash worth 500 million KRW.
