=Entrepreneurial process=
Since 1926, he has served in Seoul Central High School for two years and later became the head of the company's business. Capital was accumulated during Japanese colonial rule. When he was young, he believed that only by relying on the power of capital to improve the country's competitiveness could the whole country be freed from the pain of colonial rule. After Japan surrendered, the predecessor of Lejin Chemical Industry Association Lejin was established in 1947. The association initially produced only cosmetics “Lexi Cream”. At the end of the Korean War, his company entered the Korean plastics industry for the first time to develop fragile cosmetic caps. It produces plastic products such as combs, soap boxes, toothbrushes and cutlery, and helps to improve people's living standards. After that, development priorities will shift to emerging electronics industries and cleaning products

In 1954, his company pioneered the development of whitening Lucky toothpaste, and achieved great success. With its own technology, it defeated the US "]" and quickly occupied the Korean domestic market. It was 1957, one spring day when Koo InHwoi, the founder and chairman of the company(president of Lak Hui at the time) and other employees, managers and executives gathered in a small office at the company. "These days, I spend my nights listening to the radio." Yoon WookHyun planning director opened the conversation. At the time, radios were attracting interests as embodiments of civilization, bringing news of the world to their listeners. The instant he heard Yoon WookHyun's opinion, the possibility of a new business opportunity came into Koo InHwoi's mind. " We could make it." " I wouldn't say it's impossible, but our technology is too far behind." It was not only Yoon WookHyun; most of the staff attending the reunion were too skeptic to face Koo InHwoi's proposition. But Koo InHwoi's hope was already rushing toward the new electronic industry era. "We could certainly deal with it. If we need to learn, we'll go abroad and learn; if we can't, we'll invite foreign technical experts. I say let's unveil the electronic industry within us." Koo InHwoi went on with his sole challenging, pioneering spirit. That radio Koo InHwoi once dreamt to make with his own hand later became the footstone which led Korea into today's biggest electronic industry nation. Hence in 1958, Gold Star(now LG Electronics) sowed seeds of electronic industry to the land where traces of recent war still lingered. Truly, it was the dawning of the new Korean electronic industry era. Gold Star initially founded in October 1st 1958 eventually grew into today's global company, LG Electronics. In July 1959, for the first time in both LG Electronics history and Korean electronic industry's history, LG Electronics committed itself in the development of the radio. Neither the company nor the nation had developed other electronic devices prior to the commitment, and most looked upon doubtfully. In spite of the much apprehension, however, LG Electronics' determination to produce a first-ever domestic radio went on unaltered. Considering the situation of the company and its low technology standard, importing radio components was more practical than risking in-house development. But Gold Star chose to develop and provide domestic components to their radios. For a company which had barely started toddling, developing domestic components was folly enough. From its beginning, LG decided to take a risk that no other Korean electronics maker was willing to pursue. Rather than sourcing parts for its radios from foreign makers, LG – then Gold Star – chose to make its own components. This decision helped lay the foundation for the company to become a world leader in technology. LG was successfully using its own parts to build radios, the first electronic products made in Korea, within a year of starting the project. From the switches, transformers and sockets of long ago to today’s most advanced electronics, LG is a true success story. Not only it was the first Korean radio, but it was also the first product to include more than 60% of domestic components; up to today, LG Electronics' first radio is regarded as the hallmark of the new Korean electronic industry era. Considering that the Korean electronic industry barely began in 1958 with the foundation of Gold Star,manufacturing a domestic brand product with our own technology within less than a year was more than a historical event. The development of the radio is only one among LG Electronics'(Gold Star at the time) countless achievements. Most of the electric appliances that surrounds our everyday life began with LG Electronics. In 1958, in the name of "Golden Electronics Co., Ltd.", the business scope was expanded to the production of household appliances, becoming the first home appliance company in Korea. Just only 10 years since its establishment, the sales of Golden Star has exceeded 10 billion won, and it has achieved a rapid development of 239 times.<ref>{{cite book |title=Hanguo cai tuan yan jiu = Hanguo caituan yanjiu |publisher=Guangdong shi jie tu shu chu ban gong si |isbn=978-7-5100-2850-2 |edition=Di 1 ban|year=2010 }}</ref> In 1959, production of telephones, electric fans, toothbrushes, soaps and other products began. Since then, it has been the first to produce radios, televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners, converters and many other electronic products. At the same time, he served as the deputy editor of "International News" published by Busan and the chairman of the National Federation of Economic People.This is precisely why we can declare, that LG Electronics history 'is' the Korean electronic industry. First among the Korean companies to establish a foreign branch, first among the private companies to establish a general R & D laboratory, first in the industry to achieve and surpass 100 million dollars exportation, first in the industry to provide a consumer consulting office, first among the Korean companies to establish an overseas production plant, first in the industry to establish a design laboratory... Undoubtedly, the many achievements of LG Electronics have been writing the Korean business management history anew ever since its foundation. As to fulfill its reputation as the first Korean electronic company, LG Electronics continuously bore acknowledgements such as ' The first' and ' The best' during the past 50 years. The records LG Electronics set were none other than the records which positioned Korea as the 'Number-one' nation. The first-ever Korean radio LG Electronics developed became the symbol of hope to every Koreans, living desperate lives within the ruins the war had left behind. The crown emblem a Gold Star radio bore signified dream and hope toward their future. Soon afterward, LG Electronics forged its way to become Korea's best electronic company by successively producing first-ever domestic products in most of the electronic appliances, including the first refrigerator, first television, first air conditioner and first washing machine. LG Electronics is also proud to have been the first company to represent Korea worldwide, starting from 1962 when the first Koreanmade radios were exported to the USA. to be soon followed by other products, to other parts of the world, thus leading the ' Export Korea' motto into brilliant achievement. The efforts LG Electronics endeavored positioned the company as the first in the Korean electronic industry to surpass the 100 million dollars exportation, Showing confidence in the heart of every Koreans who considered exportation as the only means of survival: ' We can do it'.<ref>{{cite journal |journal=Lg Electronics 50-Year History Vol. 04}}</ref>In May 1967, it was the first to establish the first private refining company in China, Haonan Refinery.
