SEOUL, Feb. 7, 2024 — Commercial laundry technology leader LG Electronics (LG) has expanded its relationship with WASH, one of the largest laundry route businesses in North America. The new agreement enables LG to increase its position in the fast-expanding market for commercial laundry solutions for multi-family housing and university dormitories while bringing end-users the convenience and performance of LG’s energy-efficient washers and dryers.

WASH is a leading B2B laundry service providers in North America, supplying and managing laundry solutions for multifamily properties across the United States and Canada.

Through the new agreement, LG will supply WASH with advanced commercial washing machines and dryers offering ease of use, short cycle times and enhanced fabric care. Together, LG and WASH anticipate satisfying the growing demand for communal laundry facilities in busy housing and campus environments across North America.

LG Commercial Laundry machines, built with the company’s advanced Inverter Direct Drive™ technology, are designed to deliver durability and reliability. The design with the drum directly attached to the motor results in fewer components, reducing the likelihood of needing repairs. These LG ENERGY STAR® certified washers also reduce energy and water consumption and increase overall efficiency,1 while their proprietary balancing system reduces vibration2 for quieter operation.3

“Our cutting-edge laundry solutions will further enhance WASH’s convenient services, delivering more value to customers and end-users,” said Baek Seung-tae, executive vice president and head of Living Solution Business, LG Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “We will continue to forge partnerships that drive innovation and help people enjoy a better life.”

      Recently the prime video app started to require the update to open, and now i am having a problem, because this app update REQUIRES to a system update of firmware (to webos24),
      but it will make impossible to homebrew later.
      So, can someone at least provide the last or update ipk of amazon (amazon.ipk), so i can install manually?
      Thanks!

      Across Asia, lifestyle changes are reshaping how people find comfort and care at home. Consumers are turning toward subscription-based living – a smarter and more flexible way to enjoy the latest home innovations.
      LG Subscribe is leading this shift with premium products, expert maintenance services and flexible payment plans. From Singapore’s first experiential LG Subscribe Brand Store at Suntec City to Thailand’s rapid growth toward 20,000 subscribers in its first year, we are making more accessible living a reality.
      Singapore: A New Era of Smart Living at Suntec City
      On August 6, 2025, LG Singapore opened the doors to its first LG Subscribe Brand Store in Singapore at Suntec City – a space that celebrates our vision to make life easier through real solutions tailored to different lifestyles.

      To kick off the event, Fabian Kunho Lee, Managing Director of LG Singapore, shared how LG Subscribe blends technology with accessibility and care to begin “a new chapter in customer experience.” After the classic ribbon-cutting ceremony, a vibrant lion dance performance set the tone for an auspicious and energetic start.

      Media and key partners toured the experiential store, exploring appliances such as the LG Styler®, washing machines, refrigerators and air purifiers – all available through flexible subscription plans. Product specialists also introduced LG Careship, a routine maintenance service covered by a monthly fee, ensuring that every appliance performs at its best.

      Beyond retail, the store is designed as a welcoming space for families. In September, LG Singapore hosted a special Children’s Day event, transforming the store into a lively playground filled with interactive games, creative workshops and sweet treats. This celebration marked the beginning of a series of weekend experiences that make family time part of the LG Subscribe journey.
      Thailand: Celebrating One Year of Growth and Innovation
      In Thailand, LG Subscribe has quickly become a leader in the home appliance subscription market since its launch in October 2024. LG Thailand surpassed 10,000 subscribers in just nine months and are on track to reach 20,000 as its first anniversary approaches.

      To celebrate this success, LG Thailand recognized outstanding Lifestyle Planners (LPs) and Lifestyle Sales Managers (LSMs) at the 2025 LSM Awards in July. Their dedication and customer-first mindset have been key to the program’s rapid expansion. The subsidiary also launched LG Subscribe Friends, an influencer initiative that invites creators to share authentic stories about how subscription living enhances everyday life in Thailand.

      LG Thailand has successfully expanded its service network to 50 areas nationwide. With three LG Subscribe Complex Centers already open in Chiang Mai, Nakhon Ratchasima and Hat Yai, it plans to increase the number to seven by year’s end. The next milestone is to broaden its product portfolio to 14 categories and 100 models – making it easier for every Thai household to enjoy the comfort, convenience and peace of mind that define the company’s Life’s Good promise.

      LG Subscribe is redefining home living across Asia through flexibility, care and innovation. Whether through Singapore’s engaging in-store experiences or Thailand’s nationwide growth, we continue to show how our commitment to convenience and comfort makes Life’s Good – every day, everywhere.

      New Partner-Operated Plant Highlights Company’s Strategic
      Commitment to Emerging Markets

      JAKARTA, Oct. 23, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) has invested in a partner-operated production facility in Bekasi, West Java, Indonesia, dedicated exclusively to manufacturing LG air conditioners. As part of the company’s strategic efforts to reinforce its Global South strategy, the new facility will enhance LG’s presence in Indonesia, help strengthen its supply chain and serve as a hub for air conditioning innovation.
      Coinciding with LG’s 35th anniversary in Indonesia, the Bekasi facility spans 32,000 square meters and commenced operation last month, starting with residential air conditioner production. In its first year, the factory is expected to produce approximately 700,000 indoor and outdoor units, with plans to double capacity in the near future.
      All products manufactured at the facility will adhere to LG’s stringent global quality standards and embody the exceptional energy efficiency for which the company is renowned. Implementation of LG’s Korean Quality Control system – applied at all LG production sites globally – will support consistent performance and long-lasting reliability.
      The facility also supports the Indonesian government’s initiative to harmonize Minimum Energy Performance Standards with those of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Furthermore, LG’s residential solutions employ R32 refrigerant,1 underscoring the company’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
      Building on LG’s advanced technologies with localized production systems, the partner-operated plant is designed to deliver solutions optimized for the Indonesian market. In line with government policy on Domestic Component Level (TDKN2), LG aims to domestically source or manufacture more than 40 percent of key components used in production at Bekasi, contributing to local self-sufficiency and bolstering the supply chain. The plant will also create jobs, stimulate the regional economy and promote knowledge-sharing in air conditioning technology. These efforts will drive new growth opportunities for LG while advancing its goal of becoming a top-tier global HVAC provider.
      LG has already played an important role in Indonesia’s industrial and social development through local manufacturing, sales and R&D. With facilities in Tangerang and Bekasi supplying both the domestic and regional markets, as well as a recently established R&D subsidiary, the company continues to create employment, facilitate knowledge transfer and support national industrial growth.
      Now, through investment in the new partner-operated plant in Bekasi, LG will further expand production capacity and job creation, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable growth and community well-being. This move also reflects LG’s broader Global South strategy, which extends across R&D, manufacturing, sales and maintenance, while sustaining growth in North America and Europe. By establishing manufacturing plants in key markets such as Brazil, India and Thailand, LG is enhancing its flexibility to adapt to shifting global conditions.
      “The new partner-operated facility in Indonesia underscores the tremendous progress we are making in advancing our Global South strategy,” said James Lee, president of the LG ES Company. “By strengthening local production capacity, we can better provide advanced air solutions that meet the needs of customers in Indonesia and surrounding markets, while driving growth across the region.”
