On March 5, LIG Nex1 released a statement denying the allegations, saying, "The reports that our employees were mobilized for military operations are completely untrue."

Previously, some media outlets raised suspicions that employees of South Korean defense companies on assignment in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) were involved in local military operations. It is known that these personnel were dispatched to provide local military personnel training and support regarding the 'Cheongung-II' medium-range surface-to-air interception system exported by Korea.

Regarding this, LIG Nex1 explained, "In accordance with contractual obligations, employees on assignment locally completed evacuation to safe areas in close cooperation with the local diplomatic office when the situation arose." The company also clarified that claims suggesting these employees were not provided with even minimal safety equipment during their daily work are also not true.

The company added that it is currently prioritizing the safety of its employees and will proceed with their return home in phases as soon as safe routes are secured.

A representative from LIG Nex1 stated, "We request that unconfirmed speculative reports be refrained from, for the safety of overseas assignees and local staff."
