LG Promises Updates for Current Phones

LG today announced that it will continue to issue Android operating system updates for three years for its premium phones, and two years for its lower-end phones. The pledge follows the news earlier this week that LG will stop making phones by mid-year. For premium phones, LG's commitment is "up to three iterations of Android operating system updates from the year of purchase". This applies to G series and V series phones released in 2019 and later, as well as the Velvet and Wing. Lower-end models include the K series and Stylo phones released in 2020 "will receive two OS updates".

Variants
I read somewhere on another phone related website that the OS updates for the specified timeframes were geared mainly for the Korean variants only. Is this true?
I don't think that's accurate. LG issued that press release in Korea, then a few hours later issued it again but in the US. Also, their US PR people reached out to me to make sure I saw it. They wouldn't do that if it didn't apply to the US market.
