Reah Keem, a virtual influencer representing LG, made her first official appearance on the global stage during LG's CES 2021 press conference.

Last year, “virtual” became a part of our reality like never before. Meetings, classes, family reunions, celebrations and even graduations suddenly all became virtual and today, it feels almost normal.

Now virtual humans are becoming an example of how extended reality (XR), or the blending of the virtual and the real, are entering our daily digital lives. As the next evolutionary step forward from purely voice recognition-based AI systems, virtual humans bring a more “personal” element to human-AI interactions. As a company rushing head first into the AI challenge, LG enlisted the help of its very own virtual influencer, Reah Keem, at CES 2021.

Q: Hi Reah! Please introduce yourself to our readers.

Hi, happy to have a chance to introduce myself to everyone. I am an artist living in the beautiful, dynamic city of Seoul and making music and having real conversations with people.

Q: You recently gave a presentation at CES 2021, how did you feel about debuting on the global stage with so many people watching you from all around the world?

It was an honor to be invited and I really enjoyed the experience. It was my privilege to introduce LG’s advanced CLOi robots and talk about all the things they’re capable of. And, of course, I also got to introduce me – Reah Keem – to the world, which was a little nerve-racking but amazing at the same time!

Q: Can you tell our readers when you developed your online presence?

I started my Instagram account in May 2020. I wanted people could get to know me – from my music to my daily life, to my tastes in fashion and other things. I’m a bit overwhelmed that over 6,000 people are already following me but at the same time, I’m glad to have every one of them along for the journey. Also, last summer, I released my very first song,

. The song is about the beautiful, clear-blue beaches of Malta. It’s all based on my own imagination and videos and images, as sadly I had to cancel a planned tour with my friends due to the pandemic.

Q: It says on your Instagram account (@reahkeem) that you’re looking for a voice.

The voice you heard at the press conference is an evolution of my journey to a final destination. My voice will continue to evolve as I evolve, I’m looking for my own unique voice by exploring different sounds, listening to others and learning. I hope you’ll stay tuned while I discover my own voice, and my own identity.

Q: What are your plans for 2021?

I want to expand my creative output beyond just music and hope to collaborate with forward-thinking and socially-conscious individuals and brands in the visual arts and the fashion world. I see 2021 as a great opportunity to grow and deliver a message of inclusivity and hope for people everywhere in the world.

      Company’s LED Solution Sets a New Standard for K-Content Creation at StudioCube

      SEOUL, Dec. 9, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) has announced that its dedicated virtual production (VP) LED solution is powering the newly opened “Studio V,” a cutting-edge VP stage located within StudioCube in Daejeon, South Korea. StudioCube is the country’s largest public filming facility, and Studio V now stands as one of the world’s largest volume VP studios, reinforcing Korea’s growing momentum in next-generation content production and strengthening its global presence in the entertainment market.
      The opening ceremony, held on December 3 and hosted by the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA), brought together key government officials, including senior representatives from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Mayor of Daejeon. Their participation signaled national support for initiatives like Studio V that push the boundaries of technological innovation in the creative content sector.
      Studio V: A New Benchmark for Large-Scale Virtual Production
      Purpose-built for high-end filmmaking and immersive virtual environments, Studio V features a massive J-shaped main large-scale LED walls, which support an installation of up to 8 meters high and 60 meters wide. To accommodate diverse shooting requirements, it also offers a height-adjustable ceiling screen and mobile side walls. The ceiling system includes three independent motorized LED sections capable of vertical movement and tilting.
      At the heart of Studio V’s LED volume is LG’s purpose-built VP LED solution (model LBCJ026), engineered to deliver broadcast-ready performance with a 7,680Hz refresh rate and a 1/8 scan structure, minimizing visual artifacts such as flickering to ensure flawless camera capture. It achieves 99.07 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut, supports deep blacks and high-end HDR and delivers realistic, high fidelity digital environments. The display’s ultra-lightweight 5.9-kilogram modules feature precision lock systems that enable smooth screen curvature between -5 to +10 degrees.
      Supporting the full content-creation workflows, LG’s portfolio also includes LG OLED Pro professional monitors, widely used in production, color grading and post-production for their exceptional color accuracy and consistency.
      Collaboration for Production-Ready Performance
      To create a fully integrated and production-ready environment, LG worked closely with Brompton Technology, a global leader in LED video processing. Through joint optimization of system architecture, color calibration and real-time rendering performance, the partnership ensured seamless synchronization between LED displays and video processors, enabling Studio V to meet global broadcast standards and integrate smoothly with industry-standard production equipment.
      Beyond technical excellence, LED-based VP offers substantial environmental and operational benefits. By replacing large-scale physical sets with real-time 3D environments, the technology dramatically reduces material waste and carbon emissions while offering on-set advantages such as real-time visualization and faster, more efficient shooting schedules.
      Driving the Future of Immersive Content Creation
      LG continues to strengthen its leadership in VP technology by combining decades of display innovation with hands-on production experience. At the company’s North American headquarters in New Jersey, LG operates its own VP studio equipped with the LG MAGNIT micro LED display, producing commercial content in collaboration with its global in-house creative agency, HSAD. This direct engagement with real-world production workflows provides valuable insight that fuels continuous refinement of LG’s VP technology.
      “Virtual production is reshaping the future of content creation, and LG is committed to driving this shift,” said Nicolas Min, head of the Information Display Business at the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “Studio V offers a world-class environment that sets a new benchmark for immersive production, enabling K-content to expand its reach and impact on a truly global scale. We will continue to invest in sustainable innovation and collaborative partnerships that elevate production efficiency and empower creators everywhere.”

      In today’s fast-evolving digital landscape, technology continues to redefine how businesses engage with their audiences. To stay ahead, companies are embracing innovative content creation methods that deliver immersive, high-quality experiences, capturing attention and driving deeper engagement.

      LG has taken a major leap forward in content production with the launch of its state-of-the-art virtual production studio at its North American headquarters in New Jersey, USA. A potential first in the consumer electronics industry, this in-house content lab empowers LG with advanced tools to produce premium-quality content that reflects its diverse product portfolio, emphasizing efficiency and sustainability.

      The studio significantly enhances production efficiency by reducing set build times. Advanced features such as parallax motion and real-time rendering enhance realism and adaptability, offering greater creative flexibility, increased content output and cost savings. Looking ahead, the studio plans to produce episodic content and collaborate with brands, further reinforcing LG’s commitment to innovative storytelling.
      Beyond creative benefits, virtual production reduces the need for costly physical sets and on-location shoots, minimizing environmental impact while streamlining production workflows. This shift helps reduce environmental impact while making content creation faster and more adaptable to a variety of creative demands.

      The LG Virtual Production Studio features a 25-foot, two-wall display constructed from two large 1.5mm pixel pitch LG MAGNIT Studio Series LBAG015-G3 Direct View Micro LED displays, positioned at a 90-degree angle. Despite being a compact 1,000-square-foot space – small compared to conventional studios – this setup delivers limitless creative possibilities with ultra-realistic backgrounds and seamless special effects. Unlike traditional LED displays with wider pixel pitches that require large studios to avoid visible pixels, LG MAGNIT technology enables high-quality content creation within a compact footprint.
      LG’s global in-house creative agency, HSAD, plays a pivotal role in maximizing the studio’s potential, leveraging its cutting-edge tools to craft compelling narratives that resonate with diverse audiences. The establishment of this advanced studio marks a significant milestone for LG, underscoring its commitment to innovation and sustainability in content creation.
      By investing in an in-house virtual production studio, LG is redefining creativity – producing high-quality content faster with less environmental impact and new levels of creative freedom.

      Hello,
      I have a problem with my new LG OLED G2 newest version 4 firmware.
      I tried sorting my satellite channels with chansort programm from github, because sorting them with the tv remote is a pain.
      When I try to sort them with the remote and have selected about 10 or more channels all the selected channels get suddenly getting deselected, so I can only select up to 10 at a time  to 
      sort them -> must be some kind of firmwarebug? 
      After exporting the channellist to a usb stick then editing it with chansort an importing it back into the tv all my channels are gone, all transponderns are deleted.
      First I thought it was a charsort problem but all channels and transponders get also deleted when I simply export them to a usb drive an import them back, without editing the file at all.
      Does someone know how to fix this problem? 
      And yes I´ve done multiple factory resets -> did not fix any of this behaviour.
      I also discoverd another bug the deletes all channels, because I needed to reboot the tv I searched for a reboot option in the tvs menu, but there is no reboot option.
      To do a full reboot (except from forcing it through cutting the tvs power) you can deselect the privicy agreements, after that the tv reboots, but then all channels are gone too.
