As LG’s second training center in France – following the first academy in Paris – the Lyon facility offers hands-on training zones and a dedicated product showroom. An adjacent LG office will collaborate closely with the academy to support the company’s regional business development.

LG’s HVAC Academies are vital hubs for technical training and business support, playing a key role in the company’s global B2B strategy. By the end of 2025, LG aims to operate 70 academies worldwide, collectively training approximately 37,000 HVAC professionals each year.

“Life’s Good” During Ramadan: Celebrating Family, Faith and Togetherness

As the Ramadan crescent lit up the sky, so did a spirit of generosity, togetherness and reflection. For LG Middle East and Africa (MEA), this sacred season wasn’t seen as a marketing opportunity – it was embraced as a deeply human one. That’s why this year’s Ramadan campaign wasn’t driven by product briefs or sales targets. It came from a simple belief: Life’s Good When Shared – especially when shared with family.

Ramadan is as much about family as it is about fasting. From preparing iftar with love to gathering around the table at sunset, every moment is an act of care. This deep emotional connection inspired a campaign that celebrates life’s simple joys at home, supported quietly and seamlessly by LG innovations working behind the scenes. With Life’s Good When Shared, LG set out to remind us all of what truly matters.

“We wanted to honor the warmth and togetherness Ramadan evokes in the home,” said Phil Jung, MEA Region representative of LG Electronics. “For us, ‘Life’s Good’ means making life easier, more comfortable and connected for everyone. Ramadan beautifully reflects this spirit.”

To bring this message to life, LG MEA invited hundreds of creators across the region not to promote products – but to open their homes and share their stories. They welcomed viewers into their homes, showed off their family recipes and introduced the people closest to them. The response was truly heartwarming, with over 61 million total views from Iraq to Saudi Arabia and Algeria – and total engagements reaching more than 2 million – filling social feeds with authentic, unscripted Ramadan moments.

What stood out wasn’t just the reach – it was the way these stories resonated across cultures and communities. This wasn’t a polished, top-down campaign – it was a bottom-up celebration. From every story posted came thousands of shares, heartfelt comments and emotional responses.

Instead of glowing product reviews, what surfaced were deeply personal connections. Comments like “This reminds me of my mother,” “This made me smile” and “This is what Ramadan feels like” flooded in, showing how authentic storytelling can touch hearts far beyond a typical campaign.

This Ramadan, LG didn’t try to sell a story – it created space for families to tell their own. And with every dish served, hug given and smile captured, one thing became clear: Life’s truly good when it’s shared.

LG OLED Celebrates Artistic Vision and Creative Expression With Digital Art Experiences in New York

Bringing together art and technology, LG is curating a series of creative events across New York in May, engaging with the city’s vibrant art community through exciting collaborations. To demonstrate the company’s commitment to supporting artists, LG OLED is expanding possibilities and inspiring artistic expression as the ultimate digital canvas.

At Frieze New York 2025, LG partnered with Steven Harrington, an iconic psychedelic pop artist and the logo designer for the LA 2028 Summer Olympics. His vibrant universe comes alive on LG OLED screens, inviting visitors into a world filled with bold colors, playful characters, surreal landscapes and whimsical details.

Harrington is one of the first artists to work with the LG SIGNATURE OLED T. He chose LG OLED as his digital canvas for its ability to fully realize his artistic vision, highlighting how LG OLED opened his mind to new creative possibilities with its exceptional color reproduction and design innovation.

“This collaboration has completely expanded the way I think about making art,” said Harrington. “Being the first artist in the U.S. to work with LG’s transparent OLED TV gave me a chance to experiment in a whole new medium – where light, motion and color bring my characters to life in ways I’ve never seen before. It opened up a new dimension of vibrancy and storytelling that I’m excited to keep exploring.”

Mello, one of his signature characters who embodies the joy of everyday moments, welcomed visitors and waved from the screen of the OLED T, set against an opaque floral backdrop. The transparent screen allowed the audience to step behind and take photos with Mello, creating an interactive digital art experience.

With LG OLED’s vivid colors and precise detail, viewers were treated to the charm of Mello and other characters as they came to life on the screen in fluid motion. A playful wall illustration spotlighted the Zero Connect Box, which enables a clutter-free setup for the wireless OLED evo M5 model.

Meanwhile, the LG OLED evo G5 model’s massive 97-inch screen accentuated the bright yellow flowers and lush greens in Harrington’s Stop to Smell the Flowers No. 4, showcasing the brilliant color and impressive contrast of self-lit OLED technology. These vibrant blooms stood out against the countless white flowers scattered across the black wall, drawing attention to the central image of Mello in a purple bowtie.

At the exhibition, the StanbyME 2, LG’s latest lifestyle screen, served as both a digital canvas and a lifestyle object, showcasing Harrington’s vibrant artwork in a variety of settings. Placed on a shelf and hung like a picture frame in both portrait and landscape mode, the lifestyle screen demonstrated its potential for flexible placement and artistic appeal.

Extending the artistic experience, LG and Kartell renewed their collaboration following CES 2025 to showcase the LG SIGNATURE OLED T and StanbyME 2 at Kartell’s New York flagship store, located in the vibrant NoMad district. During Frieze New York 2025 and throughout May, visitors to the Kartell store can experience Harrington’s artwork displayed on LG’s cutting-edge screens, adding a touch of color and creativity to the store’s modern design.

To demonstrate how its screens can be effortlessly integrated into home décor, the transparent OLED T model was placed in the center of Kartell’s modern furniture, designed for various living solutions, enhancing the openness of the showroom. Its see-through screen can also be placed in front of a window, allowing natural light to flow into the space without obstructing the view.

LG and Kartell share a passion for innovation and aesthetics, having introduced respectively the world’s first transparent OLED TV and the first fully transparent chair, the iconic Louis Ghost designed by Philippe Starck in 2002. LG continues to explore opportunities for meaningful collaborations that push the boundaries of creativity, design and technology.

Throughout the Kartell store, StanbyME 2 lifestyle screens are featured in multiple arrangements, mounted on stands or placed on sleek, modern tables. LG’s lifestyle screen Posé also added a sophisticated touch to the space, blending effortlessly with the cutting-edge furniture and enhancing the overall atmosphere with its stylish look.

As part of LG’s ongoing commitment to art and technology, the LG Guggenheim Award was presented during the 2025 Young Collectors Council (YCC) Party at the Guggenheim New York. This year’s recipient, Ayoung Kim, captivated the international jury with her creation of virtual environments, where she explored contemporary themes using VR, AI and live simulation.

What’s more, LG OLED supported the YCC 2025 Artist Collaboration with LaJuné McMillian, a new media artist and creative technologist. Known for pushing boundaries with motion capture and gaming engines, McMillian curated a multisensory experience inspired by the idea of a “lavender dream,” brought to life on LG OLED’s cutting-edge screens with added depth, vivid detail and heightened immersion.

LG OLED’s bold artistic presence in New York continues the LG OLED ART journey, reaffirming its vision for the fusion of art and technology. Visit lgoledart.com for upcoming projects and stories.

LG Showcases Satellite-Based Next-Gen Connected Car Solution at 2025 5GAA Conference

Company Demonstrates Satellite-Based Voice Communication from a Moving Vehicle,
Pioneering the Future of Safe and Connected Mobility

SEOUL, May 16, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG), a mobility sector technology leader, showcased its cutting-edge Internet of Things – Non-Terrestrial Networks (IoT-NTN) technology at the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) conference in Paris, France, from May 12 to 15. The highlight of the event was a live demonstration conducted throughout Paris, featuring a vehicle equipped with next-generation IoT-NTN-based Telematics Control Units (TCUs). This demonstration marked the first instance of uninterrupted, conversation-level voice communication while seamlessly switching between terrestrial and non-terrestrial network environments.

IoT-NTN is an advanced communication network system that integrates satellite communication and high-altitude platform stations. This system ensures connectivity via satellite in areas unreachable by terrestrial networks (TN) such as 3G, 4G and 5G. It supports crucial applications like autonomous driving, vehicle tracking, remote control and emergency communication. The technology is particularly valuable in remote environments such as deserts, oceans and mountainous regions, or in disaster-stricken areas where terrestrial infrastructure is compromised, making it a vital component of future mobility aimed at enhancing driver safety.

To further advance this capability, LG has developed a next-generation solution that incorporates AI-powered voice compression technology into its IoT-NTN system. This innovation significantly reduces the size of voice messages, overcoming the data limitations that previously confined satellite communication to short emergency text messages, and expanding its capabilities to include voice transmission.

As a result, voice message transmission speeds are more than ten times faster. The technology goes beyond simple voice message exchange, enabling actual two-way conversations. In emergency situations, vehicle occupants can press a single emergency call button to send a voice-based distress signal and describe the situation without needing to type a text message or perform additional actions.

During the conference, LG set up both NTN and TN zones and conducted a live demonstration by driving a vehicle equipped with demo equipment on actual roads. Visitors experienced the system firsthand by sending voice messages from a TN area and receiving them in an NTN area, and vice versa, highlighting seamless network switching. To support this capability, LG developed a cloud-based service platform that extends vehicle satellite communication capabilities and connects them to TN, elevating the user experience enabled by IoT-NTN technology.

LG is leading the field of connected technologies that are critical to the transition toward software-defined vehicles, including telematics, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication and in-vehicle infotainment system connectivity. According to LG’s internal estimates based on data from market research firm Strategy Analytics, the company ranked No.1 in the global telematics market last year with a 24.4 percent share.

LG has been an active member of the 5GAA since its inception in 2016. The global cross-industry consortium was established to research and commercialize future mobility solutions such as autonomous and connected vehicles based on 5G technology. The association brings together more than 110 companies, including major automakers, automotive parts suppliers, telecom operators, and manufacturers of chipsets and network equipment.

“Our IoT-NTN technology represents a leap forward for seamless, reliable connectivity for vehicles in the most remote or challenging environments,” said Lee Sang-yong, head of VS R&D laboratory at the LG Vehicle Solution Company. “By enabling real-time voice communication via satellite, we’re not only enhancing driver safety but also laying the groundwork for the next generation of connected mobility solutions.”

LG’s Home Ice Solutions for Refrigerators: An Innovation Journey

Back in 1965, LG made history by introducing its very first refrigerator. Since then, the company has built a legacy of home appliance innovation and become a trusted global brand that has continuously redefined what a refrigerator can be and do. One standout example of this evolution? LG’s ongoing advancements in home ice solutions.

Early Innovations in Ice & Water: Breaking New Ground
In 2006, LG took refrigerator convenience to a whole new level with the launch of the world’s first French Door refrigerator featuring an in-door ice maker. By moving the ice maker to the door, LG entirely eliminated the need to open the freezer compartment, minimizing cold air loss and making it easier than ever to access freshly made ice. With this groundbreaking solution, LG established itself as a powerhouse in the home appliance market, and as an innovator determined to make everyday life better.

Then in 2010 came the Slim SpacePlus™ Ice System. Offering excellent ice-making capabilities and freeing up additional food storage space, it became one of LG’s signature technologies – one that elevated customer convenience while simultaneously raising the industry bar for refrigerator design.

Taking Ice Quality to the Next Level
Next up, LG started reimagining what ice could be. In 2019, the company unveiled Craft Ice™, an innovative built-in ice maker capable of producing large, slow-melting1 spheres of ice. Ideal for cocktails, iced coffee or any drink that deserves a stylish finish, Craft Ice brought a new level of sophistication and sensory appeal to the home beverage experience.

When the COVID-19 pandemic struck in 2020 and hygiene became a top priority for consumers worldwide, LG responded by releasing refrigerators equipped with UVnano™ technology. Leveraging the power of ultraviolet light, and operating automatically at regular intervals, UVnano reduces 99.99 percent of bacteria on the refrigerator’s water dispenser nozzle, helping ensure a clean and safe drinking experience.2 At the same time, LG’s use of NSF-certified water filters provided added assurance that the water used for both drinking and ice-making met the high standards for cleanliness. By addressing the importance of hygiene, LG helped further strengthen consumer trust in its market-leading refrigerators.

Smaller, Smarter and Even More Thoughtful
In 2023, LG introduced Mini Cubed Ice in the U.S. market – a new feature that produces tiny ice cubes ideal for quickly chilling drinks like sodas or cocktails. As well as demonstrating LG’s technology and design prowess, Mini Cubed Ice illustrates the human-centeredness and attention to detail that the company brings to all of its lifestyle solutions.

For a smarter, more convenient ice-management experience, LG refrigerators equipped with the ThinQ™ platform allow users to monitor their ice inventory and activate the Ice Plus feature to speed up ice production whenever needed.3 It’s a seamless blend of smart tech and everyday utility.

Looking ahead, LG plans to unveil new concepts in ice solutions by the end of this year. These upcoming technologies promise to push existing boundaries and provide even greater precision, efficiency and ease; enriching customers’ daily lives as only LG innovations can.

The Innovation Journey Continues
From the world’s first in-door ice maker to the upcoming new ice solution, LG has continually evolved its home ice solutions to reflect changing lifestyles and rising expectations. What began as a simple way to make ice more accessible has grown into a portfolio of features that prioritize convenience, style, hygiene and customization.

Thanks to LG, ice isn’t just ice anymore – it’s personal, purposeful and refreshingly innovative. And this journey is far from over.

Stay tuned to LG Newsroom as LG continues to reshape what’s possible in the kitchen – and beyond.

1 According to LG’s internal testing, Craft Ice™ melts more slowly than ice cubes of the same weight (approximately 69 grams), based on a comparison conducted at a room temperature of 25 degrees Celsius using 121 milliliters of cold water at approximately 9.5 degrees Celsius. The actual results may vary depending on environmental conditions.
2 According to tests conducted by TÜV Rheinland using internal testing methods, the UVnano (function name: Self Care) feature reduced the presence of E. coli, S. aureus, and P. aeruginosa in distilled water samples after 10-minute exposure to the product’s UV LED each hour for 24 hours under UV LED assembly conditions. UVnano, a compound word combining UV (ultraviolet) and nanometer (a unit of length), refers to the technology used in this process. Actual results may vary depending on environmental conditions. The product does not treat or cure health-related conditions, nor does it guarantee that the filtered water is free from contaminants such as microbiological particles.
3 To use ThinQ features, users need to install the LG ThinQ app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store on smartphone and connect to Wi-Fi. LG ThinQ® app available on compatible Android 9.0 or higher, iOS 16.0 or higher smartphones. Phone and Home Wi-Fi Data connection and product registration with LG ThinQ® required. LG ThinQ™ functions may vary depending on the product and country.

 

Change Through Action: LG Taiwan’s Hands-On Approach to Social Responsibility

In a world where small actions can drive meaningful change, LG Taiwan is leading the way with a shining example of compassion and community commitment. For 13 years, LG Taiwan has worked hand-in-hand with the Children Are Us Foundation, a local charity dedicated to empowering individuals with intellectual disabilities through vocational training and social enterprise programs, including the production of handmade lunchboxes. Through sponsoring these lunchboxes, LG has helped deliver nutritious meals to over 4,000 underprivileged children living in rural areas. LG has contributed not only financial support but also time and care through volunteer activities that foster deep connections with individuals with intellectual disabilities.

This year, the partnership took a creative turn with the introduction of an “aesthetic living” concept – an initiative that leverages collaborative art projects to nurture focus, creativity and communication skills. This evolution reflects LG Taiwan’s belief that technological advancement must go hand in hand with social responsibility, in line with LG’s brand promise of Life’s Good.

Led by managing director Jeong Yeon-kwan, LG Taiwan volunteers recently participated in the Mandala Star art project, a powerful expression of inclusivity and empowerment. Designed to promote self-expression and a sense of achievement, the project transforms individuals with disabilities from passive recipients to active creators. Through vibrant colors, imaginative patterns and shared experiences, participants explored their creativity while building confidence and forming meaningful bonds with volunteers.

These efforts reflect LG Taiwan’s ongoing dedication to the company’s Better Life for All vision. By combining innovation with human connection, LG is using its influence to foster positive social change. Through hands-on engagement and heartfelt outreach, LG is bringing the Life’s Good spirit to local communities – one action, one smile and one story at a time.

LG OLED x Steven Harrington at Frieze NY: Where Vibrant Pop Art Meets the Transparent OLED TV

Experience a Captivating Fusion of Art and Technology as Steven Harrington’s
Whimsical Pop Art Comes to Life on LG’s Most Advanced TVs for 2025

SEOUL, May 7, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is partnering with iconic psychedelic pop artist and LA 2028 Olympics logo designer Steven Harrington at Frieze New York 2025 for the “Steven Harrington X LG OLED: Stop to Smell the Flowers” exhibition, showcasing the artist’s dynamically vivid artwork on LG’s latest and most premium OLED TVs. This collaboration highlights the visual excellence and vibrant colors of LG’s newest OLED lineup, including the transparent LG SIGNATURE OLED T – bringing the kinetic energy of Harrington’s California-inspired work to life for a truly immersive digital art experience.

Known for his vibrant and immersive psychedelic pop art, Harrington joins forces with LG to demonstrate the strengths of OLED technology, including perfect blacks and vivid colors.* Harrington chose LG OLED as his digital canvas, citing the display’s ability to faithfully capture his artistic vision through exceptional color reproduction and design innovation. Together, they have created a whimsical exhibition at Frieze, highlighting the unique qualities of both the artist’s work and LG’s technology.

Visitors to the exhibition will meet Mello, one of Harrington’s signature characters who embodies the joy of everyday moments and creativity – brought to life on the advanced LG SIGNATURE OLED T transparent TV. Mello playfully waves to the audience against an opaque floral backdrop. As he invites the audience to come closer, the flowers fall away, revealing a transparent screen where they can step behind to take a picture with Mello. This dynamic transition between opaque and transparent screens offers a surreal, AR-like experience for exhibition-goers.

Set against a muted black and grey background, LG OLED screens amplify the brilliance of Harrington’s vibrant imagery. The exhibition features the new LG OLED evo M5 and G5 models, along with the LG StanbyME 2 TVs – all displaying Harrington’s colorful works, with Mello seamlessly moving in and out of the screens. The M5 highlights its wireless capabilities for a clutter-free setup, while the G5 boasts its exceptional self-lit technology for stunning visuals with deep blacks. The soon-to-be-launched StanbyME 2 is one of the most versatile portable lifestyle TVs, adaptable for various settings – whether wall-mounted, propped up or placed on a stand.

“This collaboration has opened up new avenues in my art as I got to be one of the first artists to work with the LG OLED transparent TV,” said Harrington.

“LG’s OLED TV is the ultimate digital canvas, delivering rich blacks and maximizing depth and realism with precise color expression,” said Kate Oh, vice president of experiential marketing at LG Electronics. “We are excited to collaborate with bold artists like Steven Harrington, whose unique style aligns perfectly with LG OLED’s mission to inspire art and connect people through innovative digital experiences.”

Visitors to Frieze New York 2025 can experience LG’s latest OLED TVs and Harrington’s artwork from May 7 to 11 at The Shed.

Recognized by artists worldwide as the ultimate digital canvas, LG OLED continues to merge cutting-edge technology with contemporary art through various cultural initiatives. The Frieze NY exhibition marks the first showcase of the SIGNATURE OLED T since its U.S. launch last December. This premium display offers stunning visuals with unparalleled clarity and seamlessly integrates into any environment. Following Frieze, LG will partner with Italian design brand Kartell to display the SIGNATURE OLED T at Kartell’s New York flagship store – building on their successful partnership at CES 2025, where LG’s transparent TV was paired with Kartell’s iconic transparent furniture. Additionally, LG will work with Ayoung Kim, trailblazing digital artist and the third recipient of the LG Guggenheim Award, for an upcoming exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum.
