In the past 16 months, the face mask has become a necessity – as well as an accessory – worn by billions of people across the globe. While effective, it’s no secret that face masks worn for extended periods of time can get uncomfortable. They fog up eyeglasses, make your jaw sweat more and can restrict airflow when breathing hard, such as during exercise. LG engineers experienced in air purification technologies looked into the challenge of staying safe while minimizing the inconveniences of face masks and have come up with a new personal air solution that is not only more effective than traditional masks, but looks stylish to boot.

The latest iteration of LG PuriCare™ Wearable Air Purifier introduces a number of improvements to the earlier beta model. Employing LG’s unique air solution technology, the new PuriCare Wearable delivers enhanced all-around performance with a smaller, lighter, more efficient motor. What hasn’t changed are the reliable LG DUAL fans which control air flow automatically1 by sensing the user’s breathing patterns to make breathing easier and more natural.

The new PuriCare Wearable’s lightweight design makes it easier to wear throughout the day. Weighing in at only 94 grams, the device can be worn comfortably up to 8 hours with its 1,000mA which recharges in two hours with the included Easy Charge USB cable.2 The PuriCare Wearable’s sleek, ergonomic design minimizes air leakage around the nose and chin to create a tight but comfortable seal for hours.

What wearers will appreciate most is the built-in microphone and speaker employing VoiceON technology, no longer requiring users to pull down their mask or raise their voice to carry on a conversation. VoiceON automatically recognizes when users are talking and amplifies their voice through the built-in speaker so listeners don’t have to strain or lean in to hear every word.3

The newest LG PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier was worn by 120 Thai athletes, coaches and staff as they departed Suvannabhumi Airport Bangkok for the summer games in Tokyo. The device will officially launch in Thailand in August, with other markets to follow once approved by local regulators.

Improved for better breathing with the most advanced wearable technology in the industry, the lighter, slimmer, more advanced PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier will satisfy the needs of everyone seeking maximum convenience and comfort without compromising style and clean air.

Take it from the best athletes in Thailand.

      With Octopus Energy Group’s AI-Based Kraken Platform

      SEOUL, Sep. 2, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with UK-based Octopus Energy Group Ltd. (Octopus Energy) to strengthen its presence in Europe’s clean technology sector. The partnership will combine LG’s advanced, high-efficiency heating and cooling solutions with Octopus Energy’s AI-driven energy software platform, Kraken, to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy in Europe.

The company provides electricity and gas, and is spearheading the adoption of heat pumps as sustainable alternatives to gas boilers. Its proprietary Kraken platform enables consumers to optimize energy usage through real-time renewable pricing. Since its founding in 2016, Octopus Energy has expanded into more than 30 countries, now serving around 10 million customers worldwide.
      Through this collaboration, LG and Octopus Energy will launch a joint solution that integrates LG’s high-efficiency heat pumps with the Kraken platform in key European markets, including the UK and Germany. The combined solution is designed to optimize home heating and cooling while lowering energy costs for consumers. Looking ahead, both companies plan to expand the partnership across additional products and markets, leveraging their complementary strengths to deliver greater value to customers.
      LG’s state-of-the-art heat pumps utilize waste heat and ambient energy sources to deliver outstanding efficiency while significantly reducing carbon emissions compared to fossil fuel-based systems. Powered by LG’s proprietary CoreTech inverter scroll compressor, the systems deliver exceptional durability, safety and energy performance.
      This strategic partnership positions LG to build on its proven expertise in high-efficiency heating and cooling solutions, enhance its brand presence in Europe, and further expand its global footprint in the clean tech sector.
      Greg Jackson, founder and CEO of Octopus Energy, said: “Heat pumps are the linchpin of clean, affordable heating – and LG makes some of the best on the market. By plugging them and their air conditioning units into our Kraken tech, we can make them even cheaper to run, giving households an easy way to cut their bills while helping the planet.”
      “This partnership with Octopus Energy Group represents a significant milestone in our European growth strategy,” said Thomas Yoon, head of LG’s Overseas Sales & Marketing Company. “We will continue to explore new opportunities that create differentiated customer value and secure sustainable growth drivers in the global market.”

      Company Builds Sustainable Growth by Empowering Local Talent and
      Advancing Technical Excellence in HVAC

      SEOUL, May 27, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is strengthening the competitiveness of its heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) business by expanding its global training infrastructure. Through its growing network of LG HVAC Academies, the company is establishing new facilities and upgrading existing ones in key markets including Thailand, China, Indonesia and France – each offering specialized training programs designed to meet the specific needs of local professionals and industries.
      In January 2025, LG officially opened a new LG HVAC Academy in Bangkok, Thailand. Relocated from the Thonburi Service Center to the Sathon business district, the upgraded facility is certified by Thailand’s Department of Skill Development and can train up to 1,700 HVAC professionals annually. Its comprehensive curriculum covers a range of areas including heating and cooling system design, installation, maintenance, troubleshooting and safety control. Graduates who pass final assessments receive nationally recognized technical certifications.
      In March, LG launched its second HVAC Academy in China, adding a new facility in Shenzhen to complement the existing Tianjin location, which reopened in 2023. Situated in one of China’s key innovation and industrial hubs, the Shenzhen academy features lecture halls, a product showroom and a Smart Home zone. The site will play a pivotal role in promoting LG’s strategic HVAC offerings and deepening customer engagement in the Chinese market.
      Also in March, LG reopened its newly relocated and expanded HVAC Academy in Jakarta, Indonesia. Now located in the southern part of the city, the two-floor facility includes lecture and practice rooms on the first floor, and a product showroom on the second floor showcasing HVAC solutions for residential, commercial and hospitality applications. The third floor houses Hi-M Solutek, LG’s training partner specializing in maintenance education. This practical, hands-on environment helps local dealers and partners enhance their technical capabilities and service excellence.
      In Europe, LG commenced operations at its new HVAC Academy in Lyon, France, in mid-May 2025. As LG’s second training center in France – following the first academy in Paris – the Lyon facility offers hands-on training zones and a dedicated product showroom. An adjacent LG office will collaborate closely with the academy to support the company’s regional business development.
      LG’s HVAC Academies are vital hubs for technical training and business support, playing a key role in the company’s global B2B strategy. By the end of 2025, LG aims to operate 70 academies worldwide, collectively training approximately 37,000 HVAC professionals each year.
      “Our global education infrastructure is designed to foster mutual growth, supporting local talent to be their best while strengthening LG’s leadership in the global HVAC market,” said James Lee, president of the LG ES Company.
