Everyone has to admit that whatever merchandise is advertised by the members, it will quickly sell out. Therefore, famous brands are looking forward to having BTS members as brand ambαѕѕadors and representatives.
One of the brands that have had a long-term contract with BTS over the years is Samsung - the iconic kσrєαn brand. It can be said that when it comes to mobile phones, Samsung and Apple are the two biggest brands today and have the most number of users in the world.
However, it seems that after SUGA's concert on April 30 in New Jersey, sales of Samsung Galaxy will increase while Apple's iPhone products will probably not be in the sights of fans. admire how SUGA promotes Samsung products here:
SUGA recently held a concert as part of his world tour in Newark, New Jersey, USA. The concert took place successfully despite the rainy and windy weather in this country.
His concert also attracted worldwide attention when delivering spectacular and unique stages that clearly showed his musical quality. Not only that, the concert that took place also had interesting interaction moments between SUGA and fans.
In it, there was a moment that quickly went viral on social media, attracting the attention of both non-fans. Even after just a few hours, his iconic saying reached the top trending on Twitter while the phrase "No iPhone" suddenly trended under the Apple's tag with more than 7000 tweets.
Specifically, it was a moment when SUGA reserved a special interaction for one lucky fan. He approached the fan stand and found a lucky fan's phone to snap a selca or record a short video.
This is also somєthing that Kpop idols often do as a rare gift for someone especially lucky in concert. What's interesting, however, is that when SUGA approached the fans, he discovered an area full of fans using Apple's iPhones.
SUGA then stated frankly to the fans that: "This is Galaxy, no iPhone. So from now on if you guys offer me your phones, only Galaxy, no iPhone". Then he moved to the opposite side to find the only Samsung phone among them and took a picture for the only fan.
The reason SUGA does this is because BTS members are currently advertising models for the Samsung brand and their products. SUGA is even the one who composes ringtones for the 2021 and 2022 Samsung Galaxy phones. Therefore, he doesn't seem to want and can't use another brand's phone while still under contract.
However, in reality, SUGA is also a conscientious advertising model as he is always devoted to product promotion. Even after the concert, SUGA conducted a live broadcast through and he also showed how dedicated he is to the product he is responsible for promoting.
Specifically, SUGA pointed out that one of the merch of SUGA Agust D D-Day Tour is a sticker designed for Samsung phones. He also owns one and has it on his Samsung Galaxy phone. SUGA even showed it off in front of ARMYs and jokingly said: "This is a tour merch, it suits the Galaxy right? Samsung must be laughing right now. This is the true model".
Not only phones, SUGA also advertises Samsung Electronics products such as TVs - an item that he also uses. He added: "Samsung wants me to advertise Samsung Electronics. I can do it. My TV is also Samsung".
Many people who saw SUGA's sincere but also humorous promotion for the Samsung brand had to take their hats off to him. Not only that, they also loved SUGA's straightforward advertising and asked Samsung to raise his salary for his dedication to the brand:
