What Does LG Stand For?
Most people understand the LG name as an abbreviation of the company’s slogan: “Life’s Good”. However, the name is actually an abbreviation of “Lucky Goldstar”. This is because the company as we know it today was originally created when both the Lak Hui and GoldStar companies merged in 1983. The company chose the former abbreviation to better appeal to Western consumers.
