SEOUL, Aug. 10, 2021 — LG Electronics (LG) is upgrading its free, premium content streaming service, LG Channels, to provide an enhanced viewing experience for LG smart TV customers. In addition to the redesigned UI, the upgrade introduces more channels and a wider range of content for viewers to enjoy, including popular K-content, movies, sports, music and news, increasing its current 1,600+ channels to 1,900 channels.*

With viewership and viewing time of LG Channels doubling compared to last year, LG is expanding LG Channels’ global availability from 14 to 25 countries, tripling its European coverage by the end of the year. LG Channels will also be coming to more than 30 brands of smart TVs powered by LG’s own webOS TV platform, including Motorola, JVC, Polaroid and MASTER-G.

LG Channels’ new UI is designed to help users navigate more intuitively and easily with an enhanced content recommendation function that analyzes viewing preferences to suggest the most relevant offerings from its broad library of free content. The new UI is available for LG smart TV models running webOS versions 5.0 and newer, with a version for webOS 3.0 through 4.5 coming soon. The LG Channels app for smartphones will launch later this year starting in North America, giving users another convenient way to enjoy the content.

With LG’s partnership with the South Korean digital media platform company, NEW ID, LG Channels has been adding fresh, compelling K-content to the LG Channels library since 2020. As part of its service expansion, LG is set to launch more channels and expand availability to more countries. The premium Korean movie channel, NEW K.MOVIES, launched in Europe and will soon be available in North America and Mexico where interest in Korean entertainment is at an all time high.

And LG will continue to expand its collaboration with leading global and local content providers to enrich the viewing experience on LG TVs, further diversifying its programming for new audiences with channels such as Rakuten Viki, OnDemandChina, BABY SHARK TV and Kids Pang TV. Rakuten TV, already featured on LG Channels in major European markets, offers the best selection of curated content from different categories including comedy, action, drama and Rakuten Stories. The Rakuten TV app can be quickly and conveniently accessed via a dedicated hot key on the latest LG Magic Remote.

Additionally, more than 100 Pluto TV channels will be coming to LG Channels later this year in select countries in Europe and Latin America. Pluto TV offers a curated selection of unique channels with local and international fare for all interests and ages, such as Pluto TV Action, Masterchef, Pluto TV Cinema, Pluto TV Telenovelas and Pluto TV Anime.

And thanks to LG’s distribution partnership with Amagi, renowned producer Quincy Jones’ global hub for music and culture Qwest TV will be launching on LG TVs in France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Brazil and Mexico by the end of 2021. As an added bonus local services such as Hollywire will be coming to Brazil and Mexico while Spanish viewers will be able to enjoy TV UP.

      Innovative Appliances Leverage Company’s Industry-leading Technologies to
      Deliver Exceptional Efficiency and Convenient Customer Experiences

      SEOUL, Feb. 19, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is presenting its state-of-the-art laundry solutions at the 2025 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS). The new models leverage LG’s industry-leading inverter heat pump and AI technologies, delivering enhanced efficiency and a host of convenient energy- and time-saving features. Embodying LG’s Zero Labor Home vision and customized for the North American market, the latest lineup offers an extensive range of options to meet customers’ diverse needs.
      LG’s washer and dryer, powered by LG’s energy-efficient dual inverter heat pump, will be displayed in the Zero Venting zone of LG’s booth at KBIS. Featuring an innovative ventless design, these laundry solutions are easier to install than conventional vented models and optimize space utilization, making them easier to install. In addition, LG’s laundry solutions employ Artificial Intelligence Direct Drive (AI DD) technology that offers sophisticated clothing care with a simpler user experience, analyzing load weight and fabric type to automatically apply the optimal washing and drying motions to achieve the best results.
      LG will also showcase the SIGNATURE 29-inch laundry solution lineup, including a washer and dryer pair and the impressive WashTower. The new washer and dryer feature a sleek, luxurious design and boast the largest capacities in their categories – 5.8 cubic feet for the washer and 9.0 cubic feet for the dryer. To increase capacity without occupying additional floor space, LG’s mini wash and pedestal can be installed directly beneath the washer and dryer. The new LG SIGNATURE washer and WashTower both deliver exceptional performance and efficiency with advanced AI Wash and TurboWash 360° features, enabling users to complete more laundry in less time, leading to zero inefficiency in daily chores.
      In the Zero Gas zone, visitors can explore the benefits of LG’s latest heat pump-equipped laundry solutions. Unlike conventional gas-vented dryers, LG’s heat pump dryers use a closed-loop system that recirculates air within the drum. This innovative system not only facilitates effective low-temperature drying but also helps reduce fabric damage, boost efficiency and contribute to lowering the carbon footprint, setting a new benchmark for sustainable laundry care. Also on display in the zone is the 27-inch LG WashCombo. This all-in-one washer and dryer combines an inverter heat pump with a ventless design and a space-saving configuration. The WashCombo, when paired with LG’s diverse laundry solutions, provides a seamless and stylish laundry setup for any household environment.
      For added convenience, all of LG’s new laundry solutions can be remotely controlled and monitored via the intuitive ThinQ app. The app also lets users track their LG appliances’ energy consumption and offers access to ThinQ Care, which helps prevent costly and inconvenient service visits by alerting users to potential issues before they occur.
      “LG will continue to leverage its advanced heat pump technology to strengthen its leadership in the North American premium home appliance market,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of the LG Home Appliance Solution Company. “The new laundry solutions we’re displaying at KBIS 2025 illustrate our progress in, and commitment to, realizing the Zero Labor Home vision.”
      Visitors to KBIS 2025 can experience the new LG laundry solutions firsthand at the company’s booth (West Hall #2417, Las Vegas Convention Center).

      Offer an Effortlessly Elevated Kitchen Experience

      SEOUL, Feb. 18, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is set to showcase its “Fit & Max” kitchen solution at the 2025 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Las Vegas, offering a design that seamlessly fits into spaces while maximizing both capacity and performance. Boasting Zero Clearance technology, the company’s cutting-edge kitchen appliances are an ideal fit for any kitchen.
      The expanded lineup includes three-door and four-door refrigerators with Zero Clearance – a technology that minimizes wasted space, provides impressive installation flexibility and helps homeowners achieve a stylish built-in kitchen aesthetic. Thanks to cleverly-designed hinges, the main compartment doors can open fully with only 4 millimeters of clearance between the side of the appliance and the surrounding cabinetry or adjacent wall.
      The new models also leverage the company’s proprietary Thin Door technology, which adds to the visual appeal of the new refrigerators and further contributes to optimal space efficiency in the kitchen. 100 millimeters-thick on previous models, the doors have been slimmed down to just 55 millimeters, delivering a sleek and sophisticated appearance without sacrificing insulation performance.
      Moreover, LG’s new lineup provides a generous capacity, ensuring ample space for storing food items, beverages and ingredients. The newly designed middle- and freezer-drawers offer enhanced accessibility and easier, more convenient organization. The new, premium LG refrigerators also on show at KBIS 2025, feature Dual Ice Solution and Mini Craft Ice, allowing users to elevate their favorite drinks, chill refreshments for a party, or quickly cool a hot soup or broth with freshly-made ice.
      In addition to refrigerators, LG expands its product lineup with a wider range of “Fit” offerings, combining space-efficient design with enhanced performance in various appliances. Another standout from the LG kitchen solution lineup is the new Flush Depth dishwasher, which fits perfectly with standard-depth cabinetry for a seamless and streamlined look. The new dishwasher incorporates advanced cleaning and drying technologies, including QuadWash Pro and Dynamic Heat Dry, to deliver industry-leading performance and enable the 1 Hour Wash & Dry cycle. LG’s QuadWash Pro technology creates microbubbles that thoroughly remove stains from dishware, while Dynamic Heat Dry utilizes a dry boost function to enhance drying performance. Drying effectiveness is further increased by the company’s AutoVentDry function, which automatically opens the dishwasher door after the completion of a cycle.
      “An ideal fit for today’s kitchen and lifestyle, LG’s expanded Zero Clearance lineup presents next-level user experiences through advanced innovation and thoughtful design,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of the LG Home Appliance Solution Company. “We will continue to introduce appliances that offer customers the best of performance, style and convenience for a truly differentiated kitchen experience.”
      Visitors to KBIS 2025 from February 25-27 can experience all the latest LG kitchen innovations, including the new kitchen solutions, at the company’s booth (West Hall #W2417, Las Vegas Convention Center).
