An LG Electronics Whisen air conditioner sold as a limited edition two decades ago is drawing renewed attention after it was revealed that its front logo was made of solid gold, a discovery amplified by the recent surge in global gold prices. The buzz began after a case surfaced online in which the logo from a long-forgotten, unused air conditioner was removed and sold for more than 700,000 won. The story gained traction after a Seoul-based gold shop owner and YouTuber known as Ringring Unni uploaded a customer consultation video to her channel on the 11th.

She later called the customer to say, “It is not 18-karat gold but pure gold. The purity came out at 99.3 percent.” She purchased it for 713,0
