I know this is unequivocally a bad solution, but LG is weirdly good about supporting remotes across generations. No guarantees about the 2025 model, but a couple of years back I specifically bought a _newer_ remote, because my 2018 model didn’t have a pause button, but the 2019 ones did. Everything worked fine out of the box.
