Last year, LG Vietnam made waves in the gaming scene by introducing the Life’s Good Tournament, which was the first and only local area network (LAN) party gaming tournament in Vietnam. This premier League of Legends (LoL) competition in Vietnam attracts talented teams from across the nation, who compete through several qualifying rounds to reach the grand final held at Another Saigon by LG, brand experience space in Ho Chi Minh City. The 2024 final, held on November 30, featured the top teams from four different regions: GENETIC ESPORT from Lighting Esport Complex, HST from OGE Stadium, 2 GAME ĐI VỀ from Unicorn Cyber and ALPHA MALE from Vikings. These cybernets are fully equipped with LG UltraGear gaming monitors, which provide the ultimate gaming experience with brilliant OLED displays.
The grand final was graced by legends of the local eSports scene, including SOFM, Đức Mạnh, Clear and KillerQueen, who provided professional mentorship to the four teams. They shared their practical skills and inspired a competitive spirit in each competitor. After some of the most intense battles in the nation’s gaming history, GENETIC ESPORT emerged as the champion of the Life’s Good 2024 Tournament, followed by runners-up HST and third-place finishers 2 GAME ĐI VỀ and ALPHA MALE.
“This is our second time participating in the Life’s Good Tournament and our team came with a solid plan to conquer the country’s best LoL teams,” said a player of GENETIC ESPORT. “Our outstanding performance in the final was inspired by our mentor, KillerQueen. We are extremely grateful to LG for creating a professional platform that allows us to compete with other talented teams while unlocking the full potential of our passionate eSports community in Vietnam.”
This convincing victory was the result of tireless preparation and effort, earning the GENETIC ESPORT team a trip to Korea in December 2024. They have explored the heart of competitive League of Legends, visiting iconic locations such as LCK Park, the Gen.G Headquarters and LG GROUND220. The team also received a 45-inch UltraGear OLED Curved Gaming Monitor WQHD and vouchers worth 50 million VND.
GENETIC ESPORT was already well-known to LG, having fought their way to an exhibition match against one of the world’s top LoL teams, Gen.G,

LG is responding to this need by investing in the next generation of global IT talent, providing students worldwide with meaningful learning and development opportunities. This commitment not only aligns with LG’s “Optimism your feed” campaign but also embodies the broader Life’s Good brand promise, as it fosters positive change and inspires progress across communities.
In line with this mission, LG Electronics Development Vietnam (LGEDV), an R&D subsidiary of LG Electronics, recently celebrated the success of its LG Dream Code 2024 program, which concluded with finals held in Hanoi and Da Nang on October 19.
LG Dream Code 2024 provided an engaging platform where students tackled programming challenges designed by LG’s expert developers. More than just a competition, this initiative connects LG with young talent, nurturing the next generation of IT professionals in Southeast Asia. This investment in Vietnam’s tech-savvy youth not only aims to strengthen LG’s workforce but also to support the country’s growing digital economy.
The competition saw an enthusiastic turnout, with 677 applications submitted by university students nationwide between September 9-30. This response underscores the pivotal role companies like LG play in developing young talent eager to begin their careers in tech.
The national competition’s final round was held at two esteemed institutions: the National University of Technology in Hanoi, where 30 students participated, and Duy Tan University in Da Nang, hosting 22 students.
In these rigorous finals, 52 contestants faced challenging exams crafted by LG’s top programmers. The event honored the top five contestants in each city, with the top three receiving cash prizes: VND 15 million (USD 600) for first place, VND 10 million (USD 400) for second and VND 5 million (USD 200) for third.

LGEDV Emerges as Strategic R&D Hub, Expanding Research Portfolio
to Automotive Components, webOS and Home Appliances
SEOUL, Nov. 5, 2024 — LG Electronics (LG) is strengthening its research and development (R&D) capabilities in Vietnam, expanding its local research program into areas including vehicle components, the webOS platform and home appliances.
This year, LG’s Vietnamese R&D subsidiary, LG Electronics Development Vietnam (LGEDV), has integrated living, kitchen and air solutions – all considered core products – into its software development and verification portfolio.
LG established its local R&D network in Vietnam in 2016 with the opening of the R&D Center in Hanoi. Growing its on-the-ground capabilities, the company set up two additional R&D branch offices in Haiphong and Da Nang in 2020. Last year, LG reorganized its Vietnamese research structure, bringing the VS R&D Center under the auspices of LGEDV, which has now become one of the company’s key research institutes in Southeast Asia.
LGEDV primarily focuses on software development and verification for LG’s In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) systems, which are central to the company’s strong performance in the B2B mobility solutions sector. The IVI business, which covers telematics, Audio Video Navigation (AVN) and clusters, accounts for more than 50 percent of all revenue generated by LG’s vehicle component solutions business. In addition to IVI systems, LGEDV has been involved in the development of the webOS platform since 2022, and has expanded its scope to include home appliances this year.
LG is continuously strengthening its R&D competencies in Vietnam through various recruitment and talent development initiatives, including in-house training programs led by experts from LG headquarters. The company has successfully attracted and nurtured talented individuals from Vietnam’s young, well-educated population.
Vietnam’s highly-skilled R&D workforce continues to grow, supported by the government’s aggressive R&D talent development strategies, which center on the cultivation of ICT talent at Hanoi National University. According to Vietnam’s General Statistics Office, the country’s population exceeded 100 million last year, with people under the age of 40 accounting for approximately 60 percent of the total populace.
Indicative of the caliber of Vietnam-educated developers, five out of ten coding experts selected by LG last year were from LGEDV. Huynh Tan Y, a researcher with LGEDV, won the LG Coding Competition at the LG Software Developer Conference (SDC) 2023, which involved around 100 developers from all across the LG Group.
LGEDV currently employs around 1,100 research staff, with plans to increase this figure to over 1,200 by the end of the year. A testament to LG’s effectiveness in the area of R&D recruitment and talent development, the company’s rapidly-growing Vietnamese R&D workforce numbered only 200 as recently as 2019.
LG is building a global system of close R&D cooperation, with Korea at its center, and aims to further strengthen its capabilities in product development and technology research.
The company maintains research institutes and development teams under each of its business units, with the CTO division developing core technologies from a mid to long-term perspective. In Korea, LG has R&D arms in Seocho, Yangjae, Gasan, Incheon, Changwon and Magok, while internationally, it operates 22 research institutes spanning North America, Europe, Japan, India and Vietnam. These institutes focus on global R&D activities and business responses geared toward identifying future growth engines.
Along with world-class R&D centers, LG’s Vietnam operations encompass manufacturing facilities in Haiphong, producing washing machines, refrigerators, vacuum cleaners and IVI products, as well as a sales subsidiary in Hanoi.
