SEOUL, Dec. 23, 2022 — LG Electronics’ (LG) CEO William Cho outlined the company’s areas of focus for the future, building on the “successful changes” and “winning growth” of the past year, at his year-end address. The livestreamed discussion gave Cho the opportunity to connect with LG employees and communicate four strategic areas the company will focus on in 2023 to reshape into a future-oriented business structure.

To begin, Cho highlighted the importance of advancing LG’s business portfolio. “To increase corporate value, we need to accelerate qualitative growth and secure growth engines in areas with high potential,” Cho noted. “We will focus on maximizing the capabilities of existing businesses to strengthen the competitiveness of our core business while also rapidly fostering strategic businesses for the future.”

The CEO then continued by emphasizing the need to establish a customer-centered business operating system. “We need to produce tangible results through innovation that combines the customer experience and digital transformation,” Cho continued. “To strengthen our customer-centered mindset and improve the way we work, we aim to achieve innovative customer experiences that exceed expectations by setting clear mid- to long-term goals and roadmaps.”

Next, Cho cited the strengthening of the company’s future preparation capabilities. “We need to secure future technologies and strengthen software competitiveness through R&D, increase brand value as well as improve brand reputation, especially among the younger generation,” said Cho. “We also need to foster online businesses and intensify digital marketing to expand into the e-commerce business.”

He also noted uncertainties surrounding the business environment. To fundamentally reshape LG’s competitive edge and improve operational efficiency with the ability to preemptively respond to changes in business environment, the company recently organized a special taskforce. “We expect these measures will allow us to build a healthier corporate structure, enabling the company to constantly produce positive results and create new customer value by securing long-term competitiveness in terms of business advancement,” said Cho.

Cho asked everyone tuning in to consider what – and who – defines LG Electronics as a company. “Each and every one of us at LG is a ‘Value Creator’ for our customers. My hope is that everyone truly appreciates our customers and contemplates how we can provide them with more and better values by meeting, listening to and becoming them,” he continued. “It is because we know that the answer always lies with our customers that we keep looking deeper into their lives and gathering insights to deliver first, unique and new customer experiences.”

Cho ended his talk by reminding everyone at LG that the future will be determined by the way we think and act now, which is, ultimately, to prepare for the future. “We need to courageously go through the trials and difficulties that we inevitably encounter in our individual challenges with an optimistic attitude and positive mindset that we can definitely succeed, as we have done so far,” Cho concluded.

      I'm urgently looking for a way to watch video files that are accessible via different SMB-shares - I was able to do that with external devices like WD-TV-HD Media Player or a raspberry pie - and I thought that I will not need that any more with my new LG OLED - I can webOS or which APP I need to install on the TV to do that
      I was expecting to see accessible SMB shares - where I can enter or even store user/pw -  besides the Sticks/HDDs attached to the USB port
      In the Internet I just found solutions by hacking / manipulating webOS - I cannot believe that this is the correct/only way to achieve that...
       
      TIA,

      CES Best of Innovation Award Winner Redefines
      In-Vehicle Experience Powered by Affectionate Intelligence

      SEOUL, Dec. 17, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) will unveil an immersive experiential space at CES 2026 that brings the company’s future mobility vision to life through Affectionate Intelligence. The exhibit invites visitors to experience firsthand how AI can reshape the driver, front-passenger and rear seating areas, reimagining the whole cabin as a more intuitive and human-centered space designed to enhance every ride.
      This new series of solutions has earned the CES 2026 Best of Innovation Award in In-Vehicle Entertainment, marking the first time the LG Vehicle Solution Company has won the category’s top honor. The system brings together cutting-edge display technology, advanced in-cabin sensing, and on-device AI under a comprehensive AI-Defined Vehicle architecture.
      The showcase features three core experiential solutions: the Mobility Display Solution, which transforms the windshield into an intelligent interface; the Automotive Vision Solution, which enhances safety and delivers context-aware information to the driver and front passenger via Vision AI; and the In-Vehicle Entertainment Solution, which provides personalized content recommendations, memory-based media and real-time translation.
      In the Mobility Display Solution zone, visitors can experience how AI intuitively presents essential information through a transparent OLED-equipped windshield. For example, when approaching a traffic signal, AI displays the remaining wait time above the signal, selectively providing only the most relevant information at that moment. In autonomous driving mode, the system analyzes the surrounding environment and generates corresponding visual scenes: cherry blossom petals flutter across the display on tree-lined roads, while a monotonous tunnel transforms into an enchanting forest, creating an immersive, near-virtual-reality experience.
      The Automotive Vision Solution is an advanced in-cabin sensing solution powered by LG’s Automotive Vision System, designed to enhance safety while enabling context-aware, empathetic interactions and personalized content delivery. The solution tracks driver movement, gaze direction, attention, clothing color and gestures in real time, allowing the system to understand and respond to the occupant’s state. Through eye tracking and gesture control, the system expands the range of interest-based information, while anamorphic display graphics heighten immersion and realism. For instance, in autonomous driving mode, if a front-seat passenger looks at an advertisement displayed on a building, gaze recognition can trigger related information on the passenger display, providing seamless product discovery and purchasing.
      The In-Vehicle Entertainment Solution delivers personalized entertainment and interactive communication. By recognizing scenery outside the vehicle, AI can display photos linked to past memories associated with that location on the window display. Passengers can share these moments in real time through video calls with family members. During long journeys, AI recommends content tailored to individual tastes, providing entertainment that turns miles into moments. In another scenario, if a restaurant staff member communicates using sign language, AI interprets the gestures into on-screen text to support smooth, two-way communication.
      “We are bringing our future mobility vision to life by embedding AI across our solutions – many of which, including in-cabin sensing, are already in production with global OEMs,” said Eun Seok-hyun, president of the LG Vehicle Solution Company. “By accelerating these innovations to market, we aim to pioneer the era of AI-driven vehicles in the years ahead.”
      LG AI-Powered In-Vehicle Solutions will be on display at the company’s booth during CES 2026 from January 6-9 (#15004, Las Vegas Convention Center).

      This year’s IFA in Berlin may be over, but LG’s booth left a lasting impression. Under the theme AI Appliances Orchestra, we presented our comprehensive vision for the future of home living – a future where LG ThinQ AI enables everyday appliances to seamlessly connect, adapt and evolve to make your life better.
      At the core of it all was LG AI Home – a connected suite of appliances and services powered by our unique Affectionate Intelligence. Designed with European lifestyles in mind, LG AI Home is a fully integrated system where products communicate with each other to improve performance, save time and energy, and provide you with the personalized care and comfort you deserve.
      Key elements of LG ThinQ AI include ThinQ UP, which lets you customize your appliances with features that fit your needs, and ThinQ Care, which delivers proactive maintenance to help keep your devices running at their best. This empathetic AI elevates home life by putting your happiness – and the health of the planet – first, prioritizing convenience and sustainability at every turn.

      The LG booth was divided into several discrete zones, each showing a different aspect of our AI Home vision. The Hero Zone, located at the booth entrance, served as the centerpiece – illustrating how our appliances work together like an orchestra, with ThinQ AI as the conductor, bringing harmony to your home.

      In the Fit & Max Zone, we recreated European-style living spaces to show how effortlessly our innovations can fit into real homes. Perfect for compact spaces, the lineup included kitchen and living solutions designed to save space while maximizing capacity – like our new refrigerator with a Zero Clearance Hinge.

      The AI Core Tech Zone highlighted the advanced AI technologies behind our latest Better Life innovations. In laundry, we introduced the AI-driven HeatPump WasherDryer, delivering a complete wash-and-dry cycle with an “A” energy rating. Features such as AI Wash senses fabric type and weight, while specialized cycles help reduce the amount of microplastics shed by clothing during washing, protecting both you and the water supply.

      Over in the AI Home Zone, visitors saw LG AI Home in action through real-life scenarios. Live demonstrations made clear the many benefits of our smart ThinQ ON-powered ecosystem, where you can use voice commands, automated routines and personalized settings to create the home lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of.
      We also introduced Spielraum, our AI mobility solution that extends the smart home into vehicles, resulting in a seamless, connected experience that lets you take the comforts of home on the road with you.

      Vacuum cleaning solutions were another highlight of our IFA showcase. The new generation of vacuum cleaners we revealed included smarter robot vacuums, a built-in docking station with automated capabilities

      The LG innovations displayed at IFA 2025 also reflected our continued focus on personalization and energy efficiency; two of the most important considerations for customers seeking to buy new home solutions, both in Europe and around the world.
      Our commitment to sustainability was recognized at the first-ever IFA Innovation Awards, where we received multiple honors in the home appliance category for our AI-powered living solutions.

      For those who managed to visit our IFA booth, either in person or online, the takeaway was clear: LG is actively redefining the role of home appliances. No longer just tools for getting chores done, they are fast becoming intuitive partners that help people to live smarter, more comfortably and more sustainably.
      As IFA showed, Life’s Good right now, and with LG taking the lead, it’s only going to get better.

      As customer experience becomes a driving force behind brand loyalty and business growth, companies are reimagining how they connect with consumers. LG Indonesia is taking this idea to the next level with LG ZonaSeru – a vibrant, hands-on space designed to inspire, educate and entertain. Located at CGV in Central Park Mall, Jakarta, this new “fun zone” brings LG’s innovations to life through interactive exhibits and engaging community activities.

      At the heart of LG ZonaSeru is a simple goal: make technology personal, playful and purposeful. Visitors are invited to explore how AI-powered LG products and the LG ThinQ platform can elevate daily life across three major product categories: Media Entertainment Solution (MS), Home Appliance Solution (HS) and Eco Solution (ES).

      In the Feel The Real AI zone, guests can experience LG’s cutting-edge OLED TVs and premium audio technology – highlighted by the LG OLED evo C5, known for its breathtaking picture quality and immersive home entertainment experience.

      Meanwhile, the WashTower Into Photo zone turns laundry into a fun photo opportunity with a quirky photo booth built inside an LG WashTower. Just open the drum, strike a pose and take home a printed souvenir.

      The InstaView Photo High Angle zone offers another selfie-worthy moment, spotlighting LG’s iconic InstaView refrigerator technology. Nearby, the Karaoke Room invites visitors to belt out their favorite tunes with LG’s xboom speakers and the LG StanbyME Go – bringing sound and style to the spotlight.
      For those interested in clean air and sustainable living, the ES Tower zone features LG’s latest residential air conditioners, dehumidifiers and air purifiers. There’s also a Live Streaming Corner, where content creators can go live or film videos on the spot.
      But LG ZonaSeru is more than just a tech playground. It’s also a community space. Throughout the year, the site will host a variety of free events – from karaoke contests and expert talks to children’s cooking classes – designed to bring people together and show how LG innovations can enhance everyday living.

      The space is also open for collaboration. Local communities and university students are encouraged to host talk shows, workshops and gatherings – free of charge. This reflects LG’s commitment to empowering individuals and fostering stronger community connections across Indonesia.

      Kicking off this initiative, LG recently hosted its first-ever community-led event at ZonaSeru in collaboration with a dedicated K-Pop fan community. Known for organizing fan gatherings and coordinating concert ticketing, the community came together for a special watch party of a globally streamed concert – celebrated in the exclusive Satin auditorium at CGV Cinemas.

      The event marked the anniversary of the fan group, turning the screening into a heartfelt celebration. Fans from across Jakarta gathered to relive the concert on the big screen, sing along and enjoy exclusive giveaways. It wasn’t just a screening – it was a powerful expression of shared passion and connection.
      With the success of this kickoff event, LG ZonaSeru is emerging as more than just a venue – it’s becoming a vibrant hub for creativity, collaboration and community engagement. As more groups discover the possibilities of the space, it’s poised to become a go-to destination for immersive, fan-powered experiences in Jakarta.
      As LG continues its evolution into a Smart Life Solution Company, initiatives like ZonaSeru represent a bold step forward – where cutting-edge technology meets human connection, and innovation is brought to life in the moments that matter.
