LG Electronics Brings Korea’s Housewarming Culture to Southeast Asia

LG Brings K-Lifestyle Experience to Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia to Discover
How Affectionate Intelligence Makes Everyday Life Better

SINGAPORE - LG Electronics (LG) today announced the launch of “Housewarming by LG,” a regional experiential marketing campaign designed to bring Korea’s signature housewarming culture to Southeast Asian consumers.

                             _____________________________________________________________ 

·         LG Electronics is launching “Housewarming by LG,” a regional experiential campaign across Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia that translates Korea’s trending housewarming lifestyle into an immersive consumer experience.

·         The campaign invites local consumers into curated lifestyle spaces designed to feel like real homes, where they can naturally discover LG home appliances through K-lifestyle touchpoints including running, K-Beauty, personal styling and everyday home routines.

·         Kicking off in Vietnam on May 19, Thailand on June 4 and Indonesia on June 23, the campaign carries the message “Life’s Good, Made Better by K-Tech” and highlights LG’s Affectionate Intelligence as a technology that understands and adapts to diverse ways of living.

                              _____________________________________________________________ 

The campaign kicked off on May 19 at Another Saigon, a brand experience venue in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and will roll out sequentially across the region with launches in Thailand on June 4 and Indonesia on June 23, creating immersive lifestyle spaces where local consumers can discover LG home appliances in authentic, everyday living environments.

“Southeast Asia has one of the most vibrant K-culture-engaged consumer bases in the world,” said Jaeseung Kim, Regional CEO of LG Electronics Asia Pacific. “Housewarming by LG is our way of opening our doors to local consumers and showing how LG’s Affectionate Intelligence truly understands the way people live.”

Reinterpreting Korea’s Trending Lifestyle Into a Consumer Experience

Inspired by Korea’s housewarming culture, in which guests are welcomed into a home to experience how someone truly lives, “Housewarming by LG” transforms this vibrant K-lifestyle moment into an engaging consumer experience.

Rather than presenting products in a conventional showroom format, the campaign invites visitors to walk through curated residential spaces that reflect real lifestyles, allowing them to discover firsthand how LG appliances bring convenience, comfort and genuine value to everyday life.

Each venue is designed to feel like an actual home, from the entryway to the kitchen, living room and dressing room, offering visitors a natural and intuitive way to interact with LG’s full range of innovative home appliances.

In the kitchen, visitors can try making Korean-style drinks and recipes using LG’s refrigerator with ice and water dispenser, which dispenses Craft Ice, cubed ice and crushed ice. In the living room, an LG air conditioner and air purifier work together to keep indoor temperature, humidity and air quality comfortable, while the LG StanbyME 2 invites guests to experience home workouts and everyday relaxation. In the dressing room, the LG WashTower™ uses AI to analyze laundry weight, soil level and fabric type to deliver an optimized wash and dry cycle, while the LG Styler lets visitors experience effortless clothing care and personal styling.

Two Lifestyles, One Vision: Affectionate Intelligence

A defining feature of the campaign is its recognition that no single lifestyle fits everyone. To bring this to life, LG has partnered with K-pop artists MINHO (SHINee) and Shin Ye Eun, each serving as the face of a distinct, character-driven lifestyle space that reflects how different people live, rest and move through their days.

MINHO’s Space centers on an active, social lifestyle built around running and meaningful moments. Drawing on MINHO’s personal connection to an energetic, on-the-go lifestyle, the space naturally connects Korea’s growing running culture with LG products suited to active daily living.

Ye Eun’s Space reflects a more personal, aesthetics-driven lifestyle rooted in K-Wellness and quiet individuality. Anchored by Ye Eun’s own lifestyle sensibilities, the space resonates deeply with millennial and Gen Z generation consumers across Southeast Asia who are already engaged with K-culture.

Though distinct in character, both spaces are united by a single message: LG’s Affectionate Intelligence is designed to understand and adapt to the diverse rhythms of modern life, helping every individual live better, every day.

K-Lifestyle as a Cultural Bridge

“Housewarming by LG” is a campaign that meets consumers where they are. By building the experience around K-lifestyle sensibilities that Southeast Asian consumers already know and love, LG brings its technology to life in an emotionally resonant way that feels personal, intuitive and culturally relevant.

Anchoring this vision with cultural authenticity, LG collaborated with MACHO’s SACHUNKI, a creative partner with a proven track record in spatial storytelling rooted in K-culture. This collaboration ensures that the physical spaces carry genuine cultural credibility, translating K-lifestyle aesthetics into a cohesive and immersive brand experience.

Extending the Experience Online

LG will amplify the campaign beyond its physical venues by releasing behind-the-scenes and highlight footage captured at each pop-up location across LG’s YouTube channel and social media platforms. This digital extension ensures the “Housewarming by LG” experience reaches consumers who are unable to attend in person, broadening the campaign’s impact across the wider Southeast Asian region.


A Growing Commitment to Cultural Connection

This campaign builds on a growing commitment by LG to connect with global audiences through culturally meaningful experiences. Earlier this year, at LG InnoFest 2026 APAC, held in Busan and attended by business partners and media from more than 20 Asia-Pacific countries, LG drew widespread acclaim for an exhibition hall designed around spaces from popular K-dramas, demonstrating the powerful resonance of Korean cultural storytelling in communicating LG’s innovation story.

TGP franchisees highlight purpose-driven entrepreneurship through stories of service, community impact


For many franchisees of TGP, building a business began with a practical goal: to create a stable livelihood for their families. But over time, their decision to franchise became more than a path to growth. It became a way to serve communities by helping make affordable medicine more accessible to the people who need it most.

For franchise owners in Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija and Bacolod City, their TGP journey was shaped by the same questions many aspiring entrepreneurs ask: What do you want to build? What kind of life do you want for your family? How can you create something that truly makes a difference?

In Cabanatuan City, husband and wife Jul and Darlene De Guzman were already managing small businesses before joining TGP. What drew them to the brand was its clear sense of purpose.

“Before joining TGP, my wife and I were already running small businesses together. We were young, learning, and trying to figure out what kind of work truly mattered to us,” said Jul De Guzman.

“What made TGP stand out was the mix of service and long-term contribution to the community. I used to write mission statements for our other businesses from scratch. With TGP, the mission was already built in — to provide affordable medicine to people and communities,” he added.

The De Guzmans opened their first TGP branch in 2008, personally handling operations and learning the business step by step. From one store, they eventually expanded across Central Luzon.

But for the couple, growth was not just about adding more branches.

“TGP made us grow, individually and as a couple. It taught us how to lead people, how to handle pressure, and how to serve others. In many ways, it helped shape the kind of family we are today,” De Guzman said.

In Bacolod City, TGP franchisees Tweet and Daves Campos saw the opportunity from a personal need. As a young family with three small children, they had moved to Bacolod in search of a calmer, more family-oriented environment.

“We were a young family then, married for less than ten years with three small children. We wanted to raise our kids in a calmer, family-oriented environment,” said Tweet Campos.

Their frequent trips between Manila and Bacolod made them notice the price difference in medicines.

“Whenever we flew between Manila and Bacolod, we would always buy our medicines at the TGP branch near our condo in Greenhills because the prices were significantly more affordable. That’s when we realized something important — there was no TGP branch in Bacolod,” Campos said.

The couple opened their first TGP branch in November 2009. Like many entrepreneurs, they faced early challenges, including decisions on location, pharmaceutical requirements, and building trust within the community. Over time, the store became a reliable option for customers seeking safe and effective medicines at more affordable prices.

“Many families rely on our stores because they know they will get safe, effective medication at prices that fit their budget. For some, this makes a huge difference in their monthly expenses and overall health,” Campos said.

Both franchisees are also open about the realities of running a business, from forming the right team and competing with long-established pharmacies to relocating branches when needed and managing pharmacist shortages.

They credit TGP’s support system for helping them navigate these challenges.

“TGP helped us in every way. From training, product knowledge, store support, and guidance on how to run things well,” said De Guzman.

“TGP provided strong operational guidance, training, and consistent support systems. Their branding, supply chain, and established processes made it easier for us to run the business confidently,” Campos said.

For the franchisees, the brand’s values remain central to the business.

“TGP stands for care and compassion. You feel it in the brand and in the people behind it,” De Guzman said.

“TGP is grounded in service, integrity, and community care. Their brand is not just commercial — it has a genuine heart for the people it serves,” he added.

For aspiring entrepreneurs considering a new venture, both franchisees said the best time to start is when there is a clear purpose behind the decision.

“Go for it. Just start! So many people with so much talent. Build something and contribute. You already have everything you need. It’ll be one of the most fulfilling and fun rides you will take!” said De Guzman.

“Start with a business that fills a real need and makes life better for the community. With TGP, you’re not just building a source of income — you’re helping families live healthier, more secure lives,” Campos said.

Their stories show how entrepreneurship can be rooted not only in business growth, but also in service and community impact. Through TGP, franchisees are able to build livelihood opportunities while helping more Filipino families gain access to affordable healthcare. ###

vivo Philippines is about to reveal something Ultra on May 23 via FB live



What if a smartphone camera could approach the creative control of a professional production setup?

This is the idea surrounding the upcoming vivo X300 Ultra, the brand’s newest flagship set to be unveiled in the Philippines via Facebook livestream on May 23 at 6 PM.

A cinematic shift

Rather than refining conventional smartphone photography, the vivo X300 Ultra explores a more cinematic direction, drawing inspiration from professional production workflows where lighting, framing, and depth are intentionally crafted rather than simply captured.

This signals a shift in how mobile imaging is positioned: not just as a tool for documentation, but as a medium capable of more deliberate, visually expressive storytelling.

Before the official reveal, vivo has offered a glimpse into its imaging philosophy.


Powered by dual 200MP Triple ZEISS Master Prime Lenses, the vivo X300 Ultra highlights flagship ZEISS optics, advanced telephoto capability, and cinematic imaging depth. It reflects vivo’s continued push to bridge smartphone convenience with the precision and discipline of production-level visual creation.

The direction raises a central question for creators and tech enthusiasts: how close can mobile imaging get to the creative flexibility of a pro-level camera system used in production work?

Watch the livestream

The answer will be revealed live with top celebrity and fashion photographer BJ Pascual, demonstrating the vivo X300 Ultra's imaging power through a photoshoot with influential superstars Anne Curtis and Marian Rivera.

The public is invited to tune in to the official livestream on May 23, 2026, at 6 PM via the vivo Philippines Facebook page, and be among the first to witness what “Ultra” truly means for the next generation of mobile imaging.

Follow vivo Philippines on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X, or visit the vivo website for updates.

One Hub, Endless Possibilities: How OPPO Reno15, Watch S, and Pad 5 Simplify Daily Life and Keep Users Connected

Let’s be honest: our lives are scattered across way too many screens. We have a gadget for every little thing we do, but instead of making life easier, it usually just feels like a constant, disconnected struggle. The OPPO Reno15 Series 5G is here to fix that clutter. When paired with the OPPO Watch S and OPPO Pad 5, your tech stops acting like a bunch of individual tools and starts working like one cohesive team.

Think of the OPPO Reno15 Series 5G as your command center. Whether you’re glancing at a text on your watch during a meeting or resuming play on a video exactly where you left off on your tablet, everything stays perfectly in sync. No more emailing files to yourself or digging through your pockets every time your phone buzzes. It’s a streamlined setup that actually keeps up with your pace, making your digital life feel organized and effortless.


Keeping Up with Notifications and Music

Having to fish your phone out of your pocket every time it buzzes is a chore, but with the OPPO Watch S, everything you need is right on your wrist. Whether you’re mid-sprint to a meeting or just have your hands full with coffee, you can glance at calls and messages without breaking your stride.

Even your soundtrack is on remote control. Start your playlist on your OPPO Reno15 Series 5G and use your watch to skip tracks or crank up the volume. It’s like having a digital baton for your life’s background music.

Fitness Without the Fuss

Closing your rings shouldn't feel like a math project. The OPPO Watch S tracks your workouts and steps automatically, then whisks all that data over to your Reno15 Series 5G. You get a clear, birds-eye view of your progress in one spot which means no more toggling between five different apps just to see if you hit your goals.

With over 100 sports modes, it’s built to keep up with whatever you’re into, while professional modes for 12 popular sports deliver more precise tracking and deeper insights to help you improve with intention. Runners in particular get even more to work with thanks to Pro Running Mode featuring dual-band GPS for better accuracy, posture analysis to refine form, fat burn tracking, and lactate threshold insights for smarter, data-driven training.

Creating and Viewing Content Across Devices

When it’s time to move from "quick snap" to "masterpiece," the hand-off is seamless. Shoot high-res content on your OPPO Reno15 Series 5G, then jump over to the OPPO Pad 5 to see it pop on that massive, 12.1-inch 2.8K display.

Need to get productive? The Pad 5’s AI-powered note-taking is a lifesaver for sketching out ideas or polishing documents. You capture the spark on your phone and refine the fire on your tablet, making it the ultimate tag-team for getting things done.

A More Connected Everyday Setup

At the end of the day, the OPPO Reno15 Series 5G, Watch S, and Pad 5 aren't just gadgets, but an ecosystem that actually works with one another. If you’re tired of the "multi-device juggle," this setup is your shortcut to a smoother, more connected day.
