"I feel sorry for Samsung."
IVE Jang Won-young who was invited to the first ever 'Korea Unpacked' event to unveil Samsung's new foldable phone took the lead in promoting Samsung phones at the event even taking pictures. However, it became known that she used an iPhone to share pictures and controversy is heating up online.
Netizens are puzzled because it was proof shot left after attending an event organized by Samsung. Jang Won-young and Sydney Sweeney, a famous American actor, made a surprise appearance at the event. They immediately took a selca using Samsung's 'Galaxy Flip 5' external camera.
Afterwards, Sydney shared the picture taken with Jang Won-young on her IG but shared the picture using her Samsung Galaxy. Jang Won-young quoted the photo and re-posted on her IG story and replaced her caption with a "black heart" emoji. However, the emoji was revealed to be an iPhone exclusive as black heart emojis on Samsung phones look different.
Hot reactions poured out online with netizens writing, "Right after attending a Samsung phone event, Jang Won-yong really posted the picture with an iPhone??!", "Does she have any manners?!" "She needs to be more careful, how can you promote an iPhone while sharing pictures taken at a Samsung invite only event??!" "I feel sorry for Samsung."
Meanwhile, BTS Suga who also attended the event is known to be a true Samsung fan and even posted pictures with President Roh Tae-moon on his SNS.
- [+11,485, -221] All she knows is money, nothing for brains.
- [+6,147, -120] She's quite empty-headed. Is she not able to think?
- [+3,852, -57] Umm.. yea this is rude. If you're going to use an iPhone don't even bother posting!
- [+2,035, -183] Really disappointed in Jang Won-young, so frustrating.
- [+1,003, -52] This is a betrayal!
- [+863, -64] She's a Chinese after all.. Chinese kids are all like this. Jang Won-young's uncle in particular is an avid supporter of the Democratic Party and been protesting for voting rights for the Chinese.
- [+708, -16] Now compare this to BTS who always say and do the right things. Samsung needs to develop better talents to distinguish between trash like her and hire better models in the future.
- [+622, -7] She's a Chinese, right?
- [+293, -3] Empty brains..
- [+286, -0] This is like attending a Louis Vuitton event wearing Chanel. Whether you're a model or not, if it's an exclusive invitation do things right! How is their agency managing things?!
- [+174, -5] She's a Chinese, they can't help it. They're all Korea antis but are crazy about money so they flock to our country in droves. Jang Won-young and Jennie.. two chodings that need to be humble. Eyes = Brains = Soul. Chanel, Prada slaves ㅋㅋㅋㅋ.
- [+155, -17] Two idols that I f*cking hate with every fiber of my being.. Jang Won-young and Jennie.
- [+91, -3] Her DNA is of a Chinese.. they're predisposed to stabbing knives in our backs! She's nothing special.
- [+72, -6] She's quite the Gumiho..
