Summary
LG HelloVision (Yeongdong system)
isp residential legacy
AS9698 (YOUNGDOONG-AS-KR) is held by LG HelloVision Corp., the cable system operator that resulted from LG Uplus taking control of CJ HelloVision. The handle carries the name of one of the regional cable systems the group consolidated, and this AS still serves that system's broadband customers.
What it's used for
The evidence points squarely at consumer broadband access. RIS sees 111 IPv4 prefixes carrying 70,912 addresses, no IPv6, and a single observed neighbour. One upstream and seventy thousand addresses means the space terminates on subscribers rather than being resold: a transit network would show a large peer count, and an enterprise would not need this much space. The prefix structure is the familiar cable-operator pattern. Two /18s (120.136.64.0/18 and 58.146.192.0/18) and a /19 form the backbone of the allocation, and the other hundred-plus announcements are /20s and /21s cut from those same blocks plus 183.78 and 123.254 space, i.e. the operator deaggregating its own pools rather than announcing anything foreign.
Notable
- LG HelloVision is the largest cable MSO in South Korea. LG Uplus acquired a controlling stake from CJ ENM in a deal announced in February 2019 and approved by regulators later that year, after which CJ HelloVision became LG HelloVision.
- The group runs several distinct legacy ASNs, one per absorbed regional system rather than one national eyeball AS. The Haeundae/Gijang system is on AS9697, and the two behave identically in routing terms.
- Like its sibling systems, this AS announces no IPv6 whatsoever.

Classification and threat
Residential Fixed-line consumer ISP. Addresses here are homes.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,772 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
