LG Electronics Supports Flood Recovery in Typhoon 'Khanun' Affected Areas

Establishing Service Bases for Cleaning and Repairing Flood-Damaged Appliances

LG Electronics has launched flood recovery efforts in areas affected by Typhoon Khanun, including Goseong County in Gangwon Province and Gunwi County in Daegu.

On the 14th, LG Electronics set up a temporary service base at the Geojeon Youth Culture House in Geojeon-eup, Goseong County, Gangwon Province. This is to provide free cleaning and repair services for water-damaged home appliances regardless of the product brand, and to supply key parts at discounted prices.

LG Electronics also began raising awareness about precautions to reduce secondary damage caused by water-damaged appliances such as fires or electric leakage. The company explained that using the product without professional cleaning and repair, simply drying it as is, can cause internal corrosion or dried debris that increases the risk of electric leakage.

Earlier, on the 11th, LG Electronics also established a service base in Gunwi County, Daegu Metropolitan City, which suffered significant damage from the typhoon, to support recovery efforts. In addition to Goseong County, Gangwon Province, and Gunwi County, Daegu City, consumers who experienced appliance water damage from this typhoon can receive the same services by contacting the LG Electronics Customer Center or visiting a service center.

Jung Yeon-chae, Vice President and Head of LG Electronics Customer Value Innovation Division, said, "As a member of the local community, we aim to support neighbors affected by flood damage," adding, "We will fulfill our corporate social responsibility as a corporate citizen."

LG Electronics actively carries out disaster recovery support activities whenever natural disasters occur. In July, the company provided support to Osong in Cheongju, Goesan in Chungbuk, and Gongju in Chungnam, which were damaged by heavy rainfalls.
