With Asia's financial troubles of the late 1990s still weighing it down, LG Group (formerly Lucky Goldstar) is looking for its lucky star. LG Group is one of the five largest "chaebol" (family-run industrial groups) in South Korea. With operations in over 120 countries, the group organizes its principal activities into chemicals and energy (LG Chemical, South Korea's largest chemical company), electronics and telecommunications, (LG Electronics, one of the largest consumer electronics firms in South Korea), financial services (LG Investment & Securities), and trading and service (LG International). Like all South Korean "chaebol", the LG Group is being reorganized because of the nation's financial collapse.
