Entering 2021 has given Australians new hope as they recover from a year that most might want to delete from memory. However, others would urge these people not to forget a year that still had so much good on display, especially down under where Aussies were determined to pull together and do what it takes to make life better for its people, every single day.

To honor those staring directly in the face of difficult times, LG kicked off its

LG Electronics in Australia has awarded each winner’s selflessness with LG home prize packages that let them live life more easily through the company’s convenient and connected devices. Some of their stories were on the company’s global newsroom to promote and inspire similar acts of kindness among people of other nations.

With so many outstanding gestures and noble actions made among the 2020 LG Local Legends winners it wasn’t hard to find more individuals to highlight. Let’s meet three more from this special group of people almost a year on from its creation.

was named an admirable LG Local Legend for her efforts in empowering young girls to be comfortable and confident in their own bodies through her not-for-profit Pretty Foundation.

Close to nine years ago she had her eureka moment and quit her corporate job to focus on campaigns empowering women and girls alike. And after endless research and meetings with experts she discovered that in Australia, 38 percent of 4-year-old girls are dissatisfied with their bodies, 34 percent of 5-year-old girls reported an intention to diet and 68 percent of 5- to 8-year-old children reported being teased for their appearance,* which gave birth to the – a charity focused on early education and prevention.

“Why wait for girls to become women before celebrating them?” said Merissa. With this in mind, she felt it was her duty to form the Pretty Inspirational Awards, which coincide with International Women’s Day, to celebrate the grand achievements of girls under 18 years of age. These inspiring girls were given the spotlight as role models for the younger generation thanks to their strong character, amazing skills and impressive abilities across various fields.

RESCUER OF MISSING AUSSIES

deservedly claimed her status after dedicating thousands of hours every year searching for missing persons, such as those lost in the Australian bush or misplaced due to natural or man-made disasters. Through her passion and dedication to protecting and rescuing others, she founded a not-for-profit organization, , which utilizes a dedicated team of qualified volunteers that train canines to aid the NSW police department in the search for missing or lost people.

“Approximately 38,000 people go missing in Australia every year, and more than 2,600 have been missing for a while,” said Adele. “Lowering these statistics is what motivates me every day.” In the future, she hopes to have teams like Search Dogs Sydney all over NSW that can be deployed as soon as someone is reported missing.

LIFEGUARD FOR QUEENSLAND’S BEACHES

Inspired by his father’s involvement in lifesaving rescue teams, has dedicated 36 years of his life to keeping Queensland’s beaches safe. As a volunteer for the non-profit organization , the largest volunteer movement of its kind and Australia’s leading coastal water safety, drowning prevention and rescue authority, Scott was more than qualified to be an LG Local Legend.

National coastal safety is crucial in keeping Australians and tourists safe around some of the nation’s most dangerous parts. Between 2018 to 2019 alone, there were 122 coastal drownings which is above the past 15-year average. Lowering this heartbreaking statistic is what motivates Scott and his team to ensure appropriate educational programs and lifesaving services are in place to address Australia’s issues when it comes to coastal safety.

      In mid-October, London once again became the global epicenter of artistic inspiration as Frieze London 2025 filled the city with creative energy and cultural dialogue. Joining the celebrations, LG showcased its passion for art and innovation through a stunning presentation that brought together the visionary legacy of Korean modern art and the cutting-edge power of LG OLED technology.
      At Frieze London 2025, LG presented the renowned abstract ink paintings of Se Ok Suh (1929 -2020), a pioneer of modern Korean ink abstraction, digitally reimagined by his sons – renowned contemporary artist Do Ho Suh and visionary architect Eul Ho Suh.

      By combining traditional art forms with LG’s state-of-the-art OLED TVs, the Suh family transformed Se Ok’s iconic ink paintings into a dynamic, immersive digital experience. Do Ho reimagined the beauty and radical inventiveness of Se Ok’s “People” series on the OLED screens, animating marks that explore the philosophical relationship between humanity and infinite space.

      LG SIGNATURE OLED T transparent TV and LG OLED evo TVs served as the canvas for this immersive reimagining, presenting overlapping video animations of Se Ok’s black ink abstractions. Each brushstroke came alive with movement and depth, enhanced by the OLED’s perfect contrast and luminous clarity. Viewers were drawn into a rhythmic interplay of form and light – a seamless fusion of art and technology.
      Eul Ho, who designed and curated the exhibition space, created an environment that reflected both the fluid motion of the artworks and the elegant transparency of LG’s OLED displays. The installation invited visitors to experience art not as something observed, but as something felt – a living, breathing interaction between tradition and innovation.

      Extending beyond Frieze London, this exceptional exhibition continued at the Korean Cultural Centre UK (KCCUK), where Se Ok’s works – reinterpreted by his sons – were displayed on LG’s 83-inch OLED TV. This collaboration between LG and KCCUK formed part of a broader mission to celebrate Korean cultural heritage and bring Se Ok’s visionary artistry to a wider audience. Alongside the digital presentation, a documentary offered deeper insight into Se Ok’s creative journey and the philosophical ideas that shaped his practice.

      In London’s Thriving Art Season, Se Ok’s Ink Abstraction Comes Alive on
      LG OLED TVs, While LG Engages Artists via Partnership With National Gallery


      SEOUL, Oct. 16, 2025 — Amid the energy of Frieze London 2025, LG Electronics (LG) celebrates the abstract artistry of Se Ok Suh (1929–2020), a pioneer of modern Korean ink abstraction. At Frieze London 2025, this visionary artist’s abstract ink paintings are reinterpreted by his sons, Do Ho Suh and Eul Ho Suh, as an inspiring digital art experience on LG OLED TVs.
      To translate Se Ok Suh’s artistic vision from ink painting to digital art experience, renowned contemporary artist Do Ho Suh, and visionary architect Eul Ho Suh, closely collaborated to create an immersive spatial arrangement. LG OLED TVs provide the ideal digital canvas to present their vision. Through this partnership, Do Ho gives new life to the beauty and radical inventiveness of Se Ok Suh’s “People” series, animating marks that explore the philosophical relationship between humanity and infinite space.
      Presented across multiple LG SIGNATURE OLED T transparent TV and OLED evo TVs, the black ink abstract works are rendered through overlapping video animations, drawing viewers into a compelling narrative that captures the meditative flow of Se Ok Suh’s ink paintings. The innovative capabilities of LG’s transparent OLED screens create a visually striking and immersive experience that will captivate viewers, highlighting the layered interplay and refined lines of Se Ok Suh’s brushwork. The perfect black facilitated by LG’s self-lit OLED technology brings out the depth and subtlety of every stroke in astonishing detail.
      Extending the creative energy sparked by Frieze London across the city’s vibrant art scene, the story behind the project, showcased at Frieze London, will be elaborated for the wider art community at the National Gallery in London. A special event will enable wider reflection on this intergenerational collaboration and the inspiration Do Ho Suh drew from his father’s work in this reinterpretation.
      LG recently began the journey of its partnership with the National Gallery, one of the world’s favorite art destinations, reflecting its commitment to nurturing contemporary artists and their work. As the National Gallery’s Modern and Contemporary Art Partner, LG supports current and upcoming artist projects and relationships with other cultural institutions at the intersection of art and technology.
      “My father often spoke of the infinite universe and space in his work, while he was painting,” said Do Ho Suh. “When I witnessed the moment the LG OLED screen became transparent, it felt as if a two-dimensional picture was transformed into three-dimensional space, revealing the space behind the painting that has been invisible until now.”
      “This exhibition is a meaningful opportunity to share the legacy of Se Ok Suh’s work, digitally reimagined by Do Ho Suh and Eul Ho Suh for Frieze London,” said Kate Oh, head of Experiential Marketing at the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “During London Art week, we are excited to take part in projects and events with the cultural partners including National Gallery in London and Korean Cultural Centre UK (KCCUK) to support artists and inspire art lovers and the wider art community across London.”
      During Frieze London 2025, LG and the KCCUK are also hosting K-Art Lab, an interactive exhibition exploring the dialogue between Korean heritage and contemporary creativity. At the event, Se Ok Suh’s reimagined works are showcased on LG’s 83-inch OLED TV, providing visitors a deeply engaging visual experience.
      Visitors to Frieze London 2025 can explore LG’s latest OLED TVs and Se Ok Suh’s artwork, reinterpreted by his sons, in The Regent’s Park from October 15 to 19.

      The LG WebOS Plex App will not start without internet access even though the App is used to access local Media from a Plex Sever on the local network.  Samsung, Roku, AppleTV Plex Apps ALL work on the local network playing local Media even if internet access is not available.  This is a dealbreaker. I will NOT purchase anymore LG TV’s unless this issue is corrected.    The app simply states that “Internet is Not Accessible” and will not continue to load.  I don’t care if the internet is not available.  My local network IS available and is all that is needed.

      Working in close partnership with top experts from all around the world, LG continues to play a leading role in shaping the future of the global heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) industry. As part of that effort, the company holds annual LG HVAC Leaders’ Summits – a global gathering designed to share knowledge, spark innovation and build stronger partnerships.

      The 2025 edition of the summit began earlier this year in Africa and is now expanding to key regions including Asia, India, the Middle East and Latin America. This wider reach reflects LG’s goal of fostering deeper collaboration and driving technical exchange across the global HVAC community.

      Tailored for professionals passionate about propelling the industry forward, the LG HVAC Leaders’ Summit offers a rich mix of hands-on experiences and expert-led discussions. So far, this year’s events have welcomed influential HVAC consultants and decision-makers from Africa, the Middle East and seven Asian countries. Many attendees are currently involved in major national HVAC projects, making the summit a key forum for in-depth discussions and a gateway to meaningful cooperation.

      At the heart of the summit are a series of seminars led by LG experts. Topics have ranged from market-specific challenges – such as carbon-neutral building mandates – to the latest advances in variable refrigerant flow (VRF) technology and specialized cooling solutions for data centers. One standout session focused on LG’s dedicated HVAC systems for data centers, offering participants valuable insight into how LG delivers sustainable, high-efficiency climate control in high-load environments.
      Real-world success stories also played a central role. Case studies from Southeast Asia, including the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand, showcased the performance and energy savings achieved with the LG Multi VTM i system. Another session highlighted LG Singapore’s approach to achieving Green Mark certification, reinforcing how LG solutions align with customers’ diverse energy and performance demands.

      Participants at the Asia and India Summit also had the opportunity to see LG solutions in action. In Paju, South Korea, they visited a café equipped with 40 LG round cassette indoor units, offering a great example of how HVAC can blend comfort with design. Then in Songdo, they toured a large residential complex utilizing LG’s Multi V S system and 1-way cassettes – demonstrating how LG HVAC integrates seamlessly into modern living spaces.
      Meanwhile, attendees from the Middle East took part in technical tours to deepen their understanding of LG’s HVAC capabilities. The first stop explored the company’s chiller factory in Pyeongtaek, where the group observed LG’s high-efficiency chiller manufacturing production line. This was followed by a visit to LG Smart Park in Changwon, home to advanced compressor lines and R&D facilities. These visits showcased LG’s strong manufacturing and innovation backbone, reinforcing the company’s commitment to sustainable, future-ready HVAC solutions.
      Beyond the technical sessions and site tours, the summit also created space for relationship-building. Highlights included LG Night, an evening of cultural exchange and networking, where participants connected more personally with the brand and with each other. The summit also served as a platform for sharing LG’s people-centric values, brand philosophy and long-term commitment to building strong global HVAC partnerships.

      Building on the summit’s momentum, LG also hosted InnoFest AIR 2025 APAC from June 23 to 25. Around 100 dealers and contractors from 13 Asian countries – including the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam – gathered to experience LG’s latest product lineup. Participants visited LG Smart Park to see residential and commercial air conditioner production lines, and experienced the company’s 60-year legacy of innovation at the Heritage Lounge.
