...bonds of a nearly bankrupt affiliate, credit-card issuer LG Card. Kim says his company joined in because a failure at LG Card would have damaged LG's image. Michael Lee, an executive vice president at LG Corp., the conglomerate's holding company, says affiliates had a "moral obligation" to help out and calls the LG Card case an exception.
