The Google autotranslation they used leaves an important tidbit out:

The East Asian word for Venus (金星) is literally "gold star", LG's former brand.
LG used to sell most of their products under this "Venus" brand (금성 in Korean, I think), which they sold in the US as GoldStar. (Actually LG stands for Lucky GoldStar.)

So maybe the clone should be called "GoldStar JXD205" in English.
