	LG - Galbijim
		LG was the first chaebol in South Korea to only use English abbreviations as its group name.
		While the group said that the name change itself was to provide the company a more global face, some have attributed the group's decision to change their name to LG to the success of the group-owned baseball team, LG Twins.
		Officially, the GS Group states that GS stands for "good service," since most of their group is focused on the service industry, but it was also a marketing ploy to give the consumers a brand that had familiarity yet seem distinct from LG.

	The Standard - LG Card hangs in balance - Markets Section
		LG Group, the former parent of the country's top credit card firm, said it was offering between 180 billion won and 264.3 billion won (HK$1.35 billion and HK$1.98 billion) - up to about a third of the 770 billion won creditors had sought from the group - to bail out LG Card.
		LG Group said it would work with creditors to reach an agreement based on the proposal, and if creditors could not accept it they should make a fair and rational counter offer after talks with legal and financial consultants.
		LG Card needs a cash injection by the end of the year to avoid its shares being delisted next year, a move creditors say would trigger massive debt redemption requests and bankrupt the company.

	LG Group: From Master Stroke to Debacle (int'l edition)
		LG's tumbling fortunes are one of the big surprises for Korean business in a year that already has witnessed the bankruptcy of Daewoo Group and near-collapse of key subsidiaries of giant Hyundai Group.
		Even though LG Group profits are expected to drop by 42% this year, to $1.75 billion, that's mainly because 1999 earnings were bloated by the sales of such assets as its semiconductor business, under a chaebol-restructuring deal with the government, and half of its liquid-crystal display unit.
		LG's wireless business has lost some $500 million since it was set up in October, 1997, while SK Telecom expects to earn $800 million this year alone.
