Wait, what does LG stand for now?

narcissus on May 15, 2013 [–]

It doesn't really stand for anything. From Wikipedia: 'In 1995, to compete better in the Western market, the Lucky-Goldstar Corporation was renamed "LG"'.

So while it was named LG because of the initials of Lucky Goldstar, its name is still just LG (or I guess "LG Corporation").
