FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


LG ELECTRONICS INC. EXTENDS EXPIRATION OF 
TENDER OFFER FOR ZENITH COMMON STOCK


      Seoul, Korea, September 15, 1995 -- LG Electronics Inc. has extended 
the expiration of its tender offer to purchase up to 18,619,000 shares of 
common stock, par value $1.00 per share of Zenith Electronics Corporation 
for $10.00 per share.  The tender offer, originally scheduled to expire on 
September 19, 1995, is now scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight, New York 
City time, on Thursday, October 19, 1995.  The tender offer is being 
extended in order to allow additional time for satisfaction of the 
conditions to the tender offer and the direct purchase from Zenith of an 
additional 16,500,000 newly issued shares at $10.00 per share.  LG

the conditions to the tender offer.

in response to the tender offer to date.
