LG - Galbijim (745 words)
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.
