The event was organized to honor the contributions of its employees to South Korea's self-reliant national defense and the development of the K-defense industry over the past 50 years, as well as to pledge a leap forward toward the next 100 years.

The venue featured a "Heritage Zone" that showcased the company's growth journey. It traced the company's origins from Geumsung Precision Industry, established in 1976 for the overhaul of U.S.-made Nike and Hawk missiles, to its evolution into a defense contractor encompassing land, sea, air, space, and cyber sectors. In addition, various programs such as a 1976 Experience Zone, a photo zone, an exhibition of patriotic drawings by employees' children, retro merchandise, and a time capsule were also held.

CEO Shin Ikhyun stated, "These 50 years are a record of trust and growth built together by everyone from Geumsung Precision Industry to LIG Defense & Aerospace," adding, "With a spirit of openness and cooperation, we will grow into a Total Defense Solution company that is irreplaceable anywhere in the world."

LIG Defense & Aerospace is also continuing a range of social contribution activities to commemorate its 50th anniversary. From June 19 to July 12, it is holding a photo exhibition honoring Korean War veterans at the War Memorial of Korea, and on June 20, the company held a Turtle Marathon event with the participation of employees and their families, delivering a donation of 100 million won to the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs.
