LG Smart Cottage Home Shopping Sale: 22 Pyeong Starting at KRW 199,500,000—Costs to Check Before Signing a Contract
2026-08-02, as of 9:30 p.m., LG Electronics is scheduled to air a Smart Cottage sales broadcast on CJ OnStyle at 9:35 p.m. that day. The 22-pyeong single-story model starts at KRW 199,500,000, but it is not a product you can move into immediately after making a single home shopping payment.
Production and delivery proceed after checking the installation site and access conditions, conducting a site inspection, obtaining permits and approvals, completing civil engineering and foundation work, and signing an in-person contract. Before focusing on broadcast promotions, buyers should check which costs are excluded from the product price and whether installation is feasible.
Can You Order a House Directly Through Home Shopping?
The home shopping broadcast serves primarily as a sales channel that introduces the Smart Cottage's layout and potential uses and connects prospective buyers with purchasing consultations. Unlike ordinary home appliances, it is not a process in which paying during the broadcast guarantees installation on a predetermined date.
The actual purchasing process follows these steps.
1. Select the installation site and preferred model.
2. Request a site inspection.
3. An architect and delivery and installation specialists assess the site and access conditions.
4. Sign separate contracts with an architect and a civil engineering contractor.
5. If installation is feasible, sign an in-person Smart Cottage purchase contract.
6. The product is manufactured at a factory and transported to the site.
7. After installation on the foundation, electricity, telecommunications, water supply, sewage, and other utilities are connected.
Therefore, even if a purchase request is submitted through home shopping, installation may prove difficult because of land conditions or permitting issues. Buyers need to review the site inspection results before signing the final contract.
How Much Does an LG Smart Cottage Cost?
The representative model prices displayed on the official website range from KRW 100,000,000 to KRW 390,000,000, including VAT. However, a larger floor area does not always mean a higher price. Even models with the same floor area can differ significantly in price depending on exterior materials, appliances, solar power systems, IoT features, and heating and cooling equipment.
| Model | Layout and Floor Area | Official Listed Price | Details to Check |
|---|---|---|---|
| MONO Core 27 | Single-story, approximately 8 pyeong | KRW 100,000,000 | Solar power option unavailable |
| MONO Core 54 | Single-story, approximately 16 pyeong | KRW 180,000,000 | Some appliances, IoT features, and HVAC equipment included |
| MONO Core 72 | Single-story, approximately 22 pyeong | Starting at KRW 199,500,000 | Standard option KRW 212,000,000 |
| MONO Core 82 | Single-story, approximately 24 pyeong | Starting at KRW 223,500,000 | Standard option KRW 236,000,000 |
| MONO Plus 26 | Single-story, approximately 8 pyeong | Starting at KRW 200,000,000 | KRW 225,000,000 with solar power installation |
| DUO Plus 45 | 2-story, approximately 14 pyeong | Starting at KRW 280,000,000 | KRW 307,000,000 with solar power installation |
| DUO Max 45 | 2-story, approximately 14 pyeong | KRW 390,000,000 | Solar power installed as standard |
Prices are based on those displayed on the 2026-08-02 official website. Actual contract amounts may vary depending on options and installation conditions.
Differences Between Standard Options for 22-Pyeong and 24-Pyeong Models
The base price of the MONO Core 72 is 1 hundred million KRW 99,500,000, while its standard-option price is KRW 212,000,000. Selecting the standard option adds KRW 12,500,000.
For the MONO Core 82, choosing the standard option also adds KRW 12,500,000, increasing the price from the base price of KRW 223,500,000 to KRW 236,000,000.
The author's calculations are as follows.
MONO Core 72: An increase of KRW 12,500,000, approximately 6.3% relative to the base price
MONO Core 82: An increase of KRW 12,500,000, approximately 5.6% relative to the base price
The calculation formula is 'Additional option cost ÷ Base price × 100.' These figures compare only the listed Smart Cottage product prices. They do not represent the total project cost, which would include land, civil engineering work, and permitting expenses.
What Is Included in the Product Price?
The included features vary by model. The newer MONO Core 72 and MONO Core 82 include HVAC equipment, basic IoT features, and some built-in furniture, but home appliances are listed as separate options.
Some configurations in the existing Plus and Max series include multiple appliances, such as refrigerators, washing machines or WashTowers, induction cooktops, water purifiers, dishwashers, and cordless vacuum cleaners. There is also a distinction between models with solar power systems included as standard and those offering them as additional options.
Therefore, rather than comparing only floor area and price, buyers should check each of the following items in the quotation.
Included appliances, such as refrigerators, washing machines, and induction cooktops
Built-in furniture, including wardrobes, shoe cabinets, and kitchen cabinets
Heating, cooling, and hot water systems
Solar power generation equipment
IoT features, including smart door locks, switches, and security devices
Canopies and decks
Exterior materials and insulation specifications
Scope of transportation and on-site installation
Because appliances and IoT devices may be replaced with similar products depending on model discontinuation and supply conditions, it is advisable to reconfirm product names and quantities in the contract.
Does KRW 199,500,000 Cover a Completed 22-Pyeong House?
KRW 199,500,000 is the official starting price of the MONO Core 72. It does not represent the combined cost of everything required to secure suitable land, obtain permits and approvals, and complete infrastructure work.
Under the official purchasing process, buyers must sign separate contracts with an architect and a civil engineering contractor. The installation requirements for individual models also specify the need for concrete foundations, electricity, internet connections, water supply pipes, and sewage pipes.
Before signing a contract, buyers should obtain separate quotations for at least the following items.
| Category | Details to Check |
|---|---|
| Land | Land purchase cost, land classification, and whether construction is permitted |
| Permits and Approvals | Building permits or notifications and procedures related to development activities |
| Architect | Design, permit application services, and scope of occupancy approval services |
| Civil Engineering | Site preparation, retaining walls, drainage, and access roads |
| Foundation Work | Concrete foundation specifications and construction costs |
| Utilities and Infrastructure | Electrical capacity upgrades, municipal water or groundwater supply, wastewater treatment, and internet connections |
| Transportation and Installation | Vehicle access, turning space, and feasibility of using installation equipment |
| Additional Facilities | Decks, parking areas, landscaping, fences, and storage buildings |
Civil engineering costs and transportation requirements may differ for sloped sites or land accessed by narrow roads. A search based solely on the property's address cannot definitively establish installation feasibility, so an on-site assessment by specialists is necessary.
Can It Be Installed on Any Plot of Land?
A Smart Cottage is not portable camping equipment. It is a modular building designed to be installed on land and used as a structure. Installation feasibility depends on factors such as land classification, zoning, road frontage, whether development approval is required, and how water supply and sewage are handled.
LG Electronics states that the Smart Cottage was designed with regulations governing detached houses and accommodation facilities in mind. Using it for other purposes, such as offices, commercial facilities, or training centers, may require permission or notification for a change of use.
Vehicles carrying the product and the equipment needed for installation must also be able to access the site. Delivery may be restricted if there are problems involving narrow roads, overhead power lines, bridges, steep slopes, or insufficient turning space.
What Benefits Are Offered During the Home Shopping Broadcast?
Customers purchasing through the broadcast have been promised promotional benefits, including discounts on the selling price, a free deck, and a complimentary site inspection. However, as of 9:30 p.m. on 2026-08-02, specific details had not been disclosed regarding discount amounts, eligible models, deck specifications, or the contractual conditions required to receive the benefits.
In particular, site inspections are normally a paid service under the standard purchasing process. Customers are generally informed that the service fee is nonrefundable even if the inspection determines that installation is impossible. Buyers should therefore confirm whether the broadcast's complimentary inspection benefit applies from the application stage or is provided afterward to customers who sign a contract.
The following questions are worth checking during the broadcast.
1. What is the actual discount amount for each model?
2. Are the benefits available simply by requesting a consultation?
3. Is there a deadline for paying a deposit or signing a contract?
4. What are the dimensions and materials of the free deck?
5. Are there regional restrictions on the complimentary site inspection?
6. Are there any additional costs if installation is deemed impossible?
7. Can the benefits be combined with other promotions?
Buyers should ensure that benefits explained verbally are also stated consistently in the final quotation and contract.
Where Can You See the Actual Product?
LG Electronics is displaying the approximately 22-pyeong MONO Core 72 at Hyundai Premium Outlet Gimpo. The interior features AI-powered appliances, IoT technology, and HVAC equipment, allowing visitors to assess the size of the space and its layout in person.
At 9 p.m. on 2026-08-05, CJ OnStyle is scheduled to introduce the interior of the displayed model through a mobile live shopping broadcast. A practical approach is to view the product on screen first, then visit the showroom to inspect bedroom sizes, storage, stairs, windows and doors, and heating and cooling systems.
Who Is It Suitable For?
The following assessment is the author's opinion based on the product configuration and purchasing process, rather than an official announcement.
The Smart Cottage may suit people who already own suitable land and want to reduce the burden of coordinating multiple companies for design, appliances, and IoT installation. In addition to those considering a second home, businesses exploring employee accommodation, corporate training centers, workation spaces, or small lodging facilities may also want to examine its potential uses.
Conversely, buyers should be cautious about signing a product contract before establishing the total budget, including land and civil engineering costs, or confirming whether construction is permitted on the site. Because it is a standardized product, it also differs from a conventional detached house that allows greater freedom in designing floor plans and selecting materials.
Final Checklist Before Signing a Contract
Have you confirmed that construction is permitted on the intended installation site?
Can delivery vehicles and installation equipment access the site?
Have you received a list of appliances, furniture, and equipment included in the product price?
Have you calculated civil engineering, foundation, electricity, water supply, and sewage costs separately?
Have you checked the architect's contract and permitting expenses?
Are the home shopping discount and free deck conditions stated in the contract?
Have you confirmed the scope of the site inspection fee waiver and the cancellation conditions?
Have you checked the expected production and delivery dates and the procedures for handling delays?
Have you read the contract termination and refund provisions?
Selling modular homes through home shopping is significant because it makes purchasing consultations more accessible. However, the factors that ultimately matter are not the broadcast discount rate but whether the product can be installed on the land, whether the buyer can afford the costs beyond the product price, and whether the contract clearly specifies what is included.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can I request a consultation even if I do not own land?
Yes. You can receive a consultation and review the available models. However, the actual contract and installation process can proceed only after selecting the land to be used and confirming the site conditions and delivery feasibility.
Q. Are all appliances included in the 22-pyeong model?
The basic and standard configurations of the MONO Core 72 include HVAC equipment, IoT features, and some built-in furniture, but appliances are listed as separate options. Buyers should check the final quotation to determine which individual items are included.
Q. If I pay through home shopping, does LG Electronics handle all building permits?
Under the official process, buyers sign separate contracts with an architect and a civil engineering contractor. Partner companies may be introduced, but the contracting parties, scope of work, and costs must be checked separately.
Q. What happens if the site inspection determines that installation is impossible?
Under the standard process, customers are informed that the site inspection service fee is nonrefundable. Buyers should check the broadcast information and contract terms to determine at which stage the complimentary site inspection benefit applies.
