LG Corp
LG Corp was established in 1947 and remains the apex holding entity for the LG Group under Chairman Koo Kwang-mo, adopted son of the late Koo Bon-moo. The Koo family retains primary ownership of the listed stakes that generate the group's cash flows. The firm executes buyout, growth and early-stage strategies. Asset classes include public equities, venture capital and real assets. Confirmed positions run through LG Technology Ventures to Anthropic and Figure AI. Geographic reach centers on South Korea with additional exposure in the United States and select battery-mineral jurisdictions in Canada and Australia. No professional headcount is disclosed. LG Corp maintains three philanthropic vehicles: the LG Yonam Culture Foundation (1969), LG Welfare Foundation (1991) and LG Evergreen Foundation (1997). In January 2024 the group attended the World Economic Forum in Davos. Ownership passes through a single-family line with Koo Kwang-mo holding executive authority; the architecture separates listed operating companies from the holding entity and from the family's private art and real-estate holdings.
