LG Electronics Launches New Kimchi Refrigerator Model with Additional Features

UP Home Appliances' First Kimchi Refrigerator... New Features Added Through Upgrades Even After Purchase

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] LG Electronics announced on the 19th that it will sequentially launch 9 new models of the ‘LG DIOS Objet Collection Kimchi Refrigerator’.

The new products are the first kimchi refrigerators in the LG UP Appliances line. Through the LG ThinQ app’s ‘UP Appliances Center,’ new functions can be added via upgrades even after purchase.

Additionally, the products inherit the differentiated performance and convenience of the DIOS kimchi refrigerator, including ▲ the ‘Multi-purpose Divider’ that allows separate temperature settings for the left and right spaces in the upper compartment to store various ingredients separately ▲ the ‘3-step Cooling Care System’ featuring three-dimensional cooling, cooling care, and cold air guard ▲ ‘New Probiotic Kimchi+’ which increases probiotics that enhance kimchi flavor by up to 57 times ▲ and ‘AI Customized Storage’ that optimally ripens kimchi by scanning the barcode of packaged kimchi and entering the manufacturing date via the LG ThinQ app. The energy efficiency rating is Grade 1.

The new LG DIOS Objet Collection Kimchi Refrigerators come in a total of 9 models: 7 stand-type models and 2 lid-type models, depending on capacity. The stand-type models are priced between 1,200,000 and 4,175,000 KRW, while the lid-type models range from 620,000 to 1,240,000 KRW.

Meanwhile, LG Electronics will also sequentially launch the new ‘Convertible Package Objet Collection’ at the end of this month, a 1-door kimchi, refrigerator, and freezer dedicated model that customers can combine as they wish according to storage purpose and preference. When customers touch the front of the door, the refrigerator automatically opens the door for convenience.

Lee Hyun-wook, Executive Vice President and Head of the Kitchen Appliance Division at LG Electronics H&A Business Division, said, “The new products, which stay true to the essence of preserving kimchi flavor while offering a differentiated customer experience, will be the best choice for customers who consider kitchen interior design as well.”
