http://www.lg.co.kr/english/index.jsp is refered to as Lucky Group (LG) on google

this is rather confusing but i believe the first link

Lucky Goldstar (now more commonly known as LG Group) was founded just before the Korean War in 1947 with a factory that turned out facial cream, toothpaste and soap.
