HYBE's rising girl group, LE SSERAFIM, gained attention as they openly endorsed Galaxy smartphones as they arrived at the airport. In contrast to their usual preference to use iPhones, LE SSERAFIM's members were spotted using the latest Galaxy smartphones such as Galaxy S24 Ultra and Galaxy Z Flip 5.
On the 8th, LE SSERAFIM departed from Incheon International Airport for Los Angeles to attend Coachella, the largest music festival in the United States, scheduled for the 13th and 20th. On this day, LE SSERAFIM's members focused on promoting their Galaxy smartphones rather than showcasing their airport fashion like celebrities usually do. The five members were seen holding Galaxy S24 Ultra and Galaxy Z Flip 5 in front of the press photographers.
As a result, netizens suggested that Samsung had sponsored Galaxy smartphones for LE SSERAFIM. However, it is known that it was not Samsung, but Google Korea who endorsed Galaxy smartphones to LE SSERAFIM's members.
When asked about the future collaboration between LE SSERAFIM and Google, a HYBE representative refused to comment, stating it's "confidential." Similarly, Google Korea only stated that they were "internally verifying," without providing a clear answer.
