According to LS Electric on June 23, Chairman Koo stated, "Between Utah, which we have designated as the key base for targeting the North American power market, and Korea, there lies the noble history of the 'Battle of Gapyeong'." Utah is well known for the so-called "Miracle of Gapyeong," in which, during the Korean War, 240 young soldiers stationed in Gyeonggi-do's Gapyeong successfully repelled a massive offensive by some 4,000 Chinese troops without a single casualty.

In 2022, Chairman Koo led the acquisition of LS Electric Utah (formerly MCM Engineering II) in Cedar City, Utah, and personally oversaw its large-scale expansion, strengthening ties with the local community. In particular, rather than focusing solely on business logic, he directly managed programs to build sincere connections with the local society.

This year, LS Electric sponsored the Korean War veterans support project at Southern Utah University. The company covered all expenses so that surviving veterans could attend the "75th Anniversary of the Battle of Gapyeong" commemorative event held in Korea last May. LS Electric also provides full support for the maintenance and management of the Korean War Memorial Park established in Cedar City.

Chairman Koo emphasized, "Remembering and honoring the heroes who achieved the miracle of Gapyeong is an essential duty of a corporation, and the local business built on such strong trust will achieve unshakable growth."

Meanwhile, LS Electric is also supporting the development of future industry talent in the region by participating in the construction of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education facilities at Southern Utah University. The company is actively working to secure outstanding local talent with ties to Korea, such as by participating in the "USFK Recruitment Platform Establishment MOU" led by the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
