From 24 staff members in 1994 to over 300 today, the LG Electronics Australia and New Zealand team dedication has been pivotal to the company’s growth.

Driven by innovation, LG’s 30-year journey has been packed with world-firsts and innovations across various industries. From IT products such as UltraWide™ and curved monitors that revolutionized the gaming industry, to the lightest laptop that made working on-the-go a breeze, and the smallest projector that turned any room into a home theater. And let’s not forget about LG TVs. LG’s leadership in OLED technology has brought breathtaking picture quality that delivers vibrant colors and perfect blacks. We’ve also been busy in the kitchen with the InstaView™ fridges that let you peek inside without opening the door, while UVnano technology brings a whole new level of hygiene to the home. And who could forget about our game changing TwinWash™ and WashTower™ designs that have made laundry day a whole lot easier.

      To further ignite optimism worldwide, LG Vietnam officially titled “An Optimism Universe.” The video features Phương Mỹ Chi, a famous Vietnamese singer and an ambassador for LG Vietnam’s local campaign.
      The song is a reimagined version of “A Universe with You (Vu Tru Co Anh),” Phương Mỹ Chi’s hit track which captivated the country’s youth on social media. Now, as the sound of LG Vietnam’s latest campaign, “Power of Z – Spread out the Optimism,” HIT music producer DTAP has remixed the melody with trendy and upbeat elements while retaining the original’s distinctive Vietnamese traditional folk elements. With relatable and meaningful lyrics, the song encourages Vietnamese youth to live in the moment and enjoy every aspect of their lives.

      The music video takes viewers on a journey across iconic landmarks of major Vietnamese cities, inspiring the younger generation to explore everything the country has to offer. Vibrant red hues and dynamic motion graphics jump across the screen for a visually stimulating experience that encourages viewers to join hands in creating a better future from the simple joys of life. In the video, LG Vietnam’s Gen Z ambassador also extends an invitation to tour , a unique space where visitors can experience LG’s most innovative technology through exciting activities.
      “An Optimism Universe” delighted listeners from the moment of release, reaching an impressive 1 million views on YouTube within just 24 hours. The momentum continued, culminating in a total of 18 million views across all platforms in a mere 10 days.

      This theme song debuted at the Uni-tour of Saigon University in Ho Chi Minh City and the National Economics University in Hanoi, where approximately 3,000 students were met with a fun-filled playground of colorful experience zones organized by LG Vietnam.

      The first space, the Optimism Melody zone, presented students with the opportunity to express themselves through karaoke, enhanced by hands-on experiences with the LG StanbyME and StanbyME GO.

      Nearby, the Optimistic Hints of Tarots zone invited students to discover a unique, positive message revealed with a touch on the LG StanbyME screen.

      Students could share their event experience at the Capture Optimistic Moments zone to receive an optimistic framed photo, while the exhibition space at the Wall of Optimism zone showcased the students’ creative ideas to spread optimism to their friends, relatives and the community.

      In an effort to expand the reach of the Life’s Good brand mission, LG Vietnam also aimed to make a tangible difference in the community with practical support. Enriching cultural life and improving education in rural areas, the company joined hands with the Green Summer 2024 Campaign, an annual event organized by the Vietnam Student Association. Launched in 1997, the campaign provides students with leadership opportunities in social initiatives, including building roads, bridges and charity houses, as well as participating in educational programs to eliminate illiteracy and improve digital competency.

      LG Vietnam donated 27 LG TVs to the Green Summer campaign this year, nine of which were specifically designated for a community housing project in Dak Nong province. The remaining 18 LG TVs were given to remote schools to provide better teaching and learning conditions for both teachers and students.

      Vietnam’s “Power of Z – Spread out the Optimism” campaign reaffirms LG’s commitment to connecting with the younger generation and encouraging young people to approach life with an optimistic attitude, create a positive impact on the community and contribute to a better future for all.

      To spread the message to a wider audience, people can also share positive moments from their daily lives as part of LG Vietnam’s social media challenge with the hashtags #LifesGood, #TíchCựcLanToả and #NụCườiLanXa.

      Additionally, LG employees participated in a for the campaign, contributing to a greener learning environment for students.
      LG actively promotes activities and initiatives that create a better life for Vietnamese people through the power of Life’s Good. Through this local campaign, LG Vietnam hopes to spread more joy and happiness, inspiring a brighter future for all.

      Good product design is all about understanding and meeting customers’ needs. As a leader in the home appliance industry, LG integrates ‘customer-centricity’ into every stage of the design process to ensure its products deliver a more convenient and emotionally satisfying user experience. The company continues to show the way forward, making innovative appliances and smart home solutions for a better life based on its ‘3F’ design philosophy.
      The Essence of 3F: Fit, Feel, Finish

      “LG uses the term ‘3F’ to refer to the appearance, performance and other tangible and intangible qualities of its products experienced by the customer,” said Chung Wook-jun, vice president and head of H&A Design Lab at LG Electronics’ Life Innovation Design Center. “In essence, 3F is a set of principles that guides the company as it weaves the core values of completeness, ease of use and emotional satisfaction into each product it makes.”
      3F stands for Fit, Feel and Finish. ‘Fit’ refers to seamless (zero gap) product design and overall design uniformity, while ‘Feel’ encompasses the smooth and resilient operation of moving parts as well as the satisfying feedback that interfaces, doors and other components provide when handled by users. ‘Finish’ focuses on matching the right colors with the right materials and achieving a clean, consistent aesthetic across product lines. The definition of 3F has gradually expanded over time and now extends to elements such as ergonomics, user experience (UX) optimization and user interface (UI) usability.
      Officially introduced in 2001, 3F is now deeply ingrained in the way LG works. The company even formed a specialized organization to focus on 3F, which collaborates closely with several departments – including product planning, design, development, quality control and sales – to maintain a cohesive approach to customer-centric design.
      Customer-Centric Design Research

      The core aspect of 3F work is to guarantee the completeness of every product LG develops. Through securing a high level of completeness in the development phase, the company helps to prevent potential quality issues from arising during production.
      At the concept planning stage, LG identifies and addresses any deficiencies or inconveniences associated with previously released models to prevent their recurrence in new products. Using its own internally developed ergonomic standards, the company thoroughly evaluates products for ease-of-use and to determine if further improvements are needed. Prior to finalization and mass-production, LG re-evaluates its products using up to 160 different criteria to assess whether completeness has been achieved.

      When a prototype is produced at the design verification stage, it is tested under actual usage conditions. Data-driven feedback derived from these tests – such as the precise measurement of the force needed to open an appliance’s door – enables the relevant departments to make necessary adjustments.
      Quality testing at LG involves extensive processes to ensure products meet usage and reliability standards. Should a product fail any test, LG carefully identifies and addresses the root cause of the issue. Subsequently, the product undergoes hundreds of additional tests until it meets the company’s exacting internal standards. Multiple methods are employed to confirm that each unit produced matches the usability and reliability standards set during the development phase. The data gathered throughout these various processes is meticulously analyzed to refine future designs.
      Subtle Details that Reflect LG’s 3F Design Principles
       

      The recently launched LG SIGNATURE washer/dryer exemplifies the company’s commitment to its 3F design principles. Manufactured using the same methods employed to produce luxury goods, the washer/dryer successfully delivers the ‘high-end’ aesthetic and feel of LG’s original design concept. The attention to subtle details that is so much a part of 3F design can be seen in the dryer’s filter grip, which has been designed in accordance with knuckle-width studies and numerous customer acceptance surveys to provide optimal usability.

      To enhance the sophistication and operability of the control knobs applied to its washing machines, LG conducted a comprehensive range of 3F research initiatives and even developed its own custom measuring equipment. The company’s efforts led to the creation of a control knob reminiscent of the center-console control dials found in luxury automobiles, providing a pleasingly premium look and feel while also contributing to a better user experience in both a practical and emotional sense.

      Introduced last year on select LG refrigerator models, the Auto Soft Closing System is another example of LG’s customer-centric 3F design. The system uses dampers to ensure that the refrigerator door closes softly and quietly, enhancing usability, convenience and customer satisfaction.

      The 3F design principle, which reveals LG’s strong commitment to the pursuit of perfection, is intertwined with another uniquely LG concept: ‘Affection-ism.’ Affection-ism could be described as a ‘design mindset,’ centering on caring for customers via the delivery of ‘Uncompromising Customer Experiences,’ ‘Human-centered Innovation’ and the ‘Warmth to Power a Smile.’ By staying true to its core values and customer-first philosophies, LG will continue to provide products that exceed expectations and make everyday life that much better.

      Last month, Europe’s biggest football competition kicked off in Germany. With the final scheduled for July 14, LG offices around the world announced various promotions to give football fanatics an opportunity to experience every kick of the ball as if they were witnessing it in person, all from the sublime comfort of home.
      As our office in the host country, LG Germany implemented various promotion campaigns and highlights to ensure consumers could live every world-class goal and line-breaking assist during the four-week celebration of ‘the beautiful game.’

      On its socials, LG Germany raffled a CineBeamQ projector at the beginning of the championships, making private viewing with friends as immersive as it is memorable. And to let local sports fans enjoy every game to the fullest, the company also shared its Life’s Good Fan Snack recipe for half time. A new Life’s Good Fan Snack recipe is shared every month and can compliment other sport occasions like the championships.

This initiative provided ample opportunities for locals to immerse themselves in the play by scoring some amazing deals on LG products.

      In addition to major savings, customers could also win an exclusive trip to Europe and enjoy rebates of Touch ‘n Go eWallet credits upon purchasing selected LG products. These products include 2024 LG OLED TV, Soundbar, WashTower, Styler, InstaView refrigerator, CordZero vacuum, ARTCOOL air conditioner, and PuriCare Water Purifier and Air Purifier.
      LG’s home entertainment lineups are fully equipped with innovative technology to ensure viewers feel like they’re living the action from kickoff to final whistle without leaving their home.
