In celebration of the Chuseok holiday, LG Uplus is offering a range of services and benefits, including in-flight Wi-Fi, for customers using international roaming.


On September 23, LG Uplus announced that it will run the "2026 U+ Roaming In-flight Wi-Fi Event" through the end of this year. Customers traveling overseas can use a variety of roaming services from departure to their stay abroad. The in-flight Wi-Fi service is available to LG Uplus customers using Korean Air who are subscribed to the Roaming Pass 24GB plan (priced at 59,000 won) or higher.


As of July, LG Uplus's 5G roaming service is available in 100 countries and territories worldwide. The availability of 5G depends on the local network and device compatibility; in areas where 5G is not supported, the connection will default to LTE or 3G.


The AI-based voice call app "ixi-O" can also be used for roaming calls overseas. With ixi-O Roaming Call, LG Uplus roaming plan subscribers or customers using a Wi-Fi environment can make voice calls from abroad without incurring additional international calling charges. Starting in July with Japan, LG Uplus is now providing ixi-O Roaming Call in more than 170 countries.


Customers who are away from home for extended periods due to family visits or travel can utilize the Smart Home service. The "HomeCam Lite," launched this month, offers QHD resolution and AI detection for 5,500 won per month on a three-year contract. HomeCam Lite features a security chip, video encryption, and two-factor authentication. Insurance is also included to cover damages caused by fire or video hacking.


For customers spending the holidays at home, AI and content subscription benefits are available. Until September 30, LG Uplus is offering up to a 5,000 won discount for customers using AI or content subscription products for the first time.



The "Uplus ToPlus" membership program provides special partnerships targeting holiday grocery shopping, dining, and outings during Chuseok. Benefits include shopping perks at Kurly, Sajo Mall, and Ottugi Mall, as well as discounts for lodging, cultural, and dining experiences. On September 24, long-term customers can also enjoy a discount at Emart24.
