LG Uplus (LG U+) is South Korea’s third-largest mobile carrier, owned by LG Corporation, and it operates a network of Internet Data Centers (IDCs) across the country that it sells to enterprise customers as colocation and AI-infrastructure services. Starting with a Seoul data center in Nonhyeon-dong, the company went on to open Seocho1 (2001), Seocho2 (2002), Gasan (2009), Sangam (2013), Pyeongchon Mega Center (2015) and Pyeongchon 2 Center (2023). Its flagship Pyeongchon Mega Center in Anyang, Gyeonggi-do, was Asia’s largest IDC at the time it was built, with a floor area of 85,548 square meters and a power capacity of 165 megawatts, among the largest in the world. Its 2023 successor, Pyeongchon 2, was built with capacity to house more than 200,000 servers across 40,450 square meters of floor space, cooled partly through rainwater penetration and geothermal energy, solar panels and fuel cells. As of 2024, LG Uplus was building its 14th nationwide data center in Paju, Gyeonggi-do — its 8th in the greater Seoul metro area — becoming the only Korean company with three commercial hyperscale IDCs, driven explicitly by generative AI adoption and accelerating cloud migration.
The company markets AI-optimized infrastructure directly at Pyeongchon Mega Center and Pyeongchon 2, describing them, along with the future Paju site, as directly built and operated data centers offering optimized AI infrastructure services to customers.
