“Guys who use Galaxy instead of iPhone are less attractive”
To an extent that seems intentional, a strong culture of rejecting Galaxy phones is spreading among teenagers and those in their 20s.
Unnecessary debates between iPhone and Galaxy users are also occurring. Despite the fact that people can use their preferred phone according to their tastes, such a phenomenon continues to persist.
Amidst this, a question was posed to a girl group member during a conversation with fans: “How about guys who use Galaxy smartphones?” The question implied whether the charm of a person decreases if they use a Galaxy.
The girl group member who received this question from a fan via the messenger platform “fromm” was Kim Chae-yeon of “tripleS”. She chose to answer the question directly.
Kim Chae-yeon expressed her opinion, “A guy who uses Galaxy… I like you no matter what you use. Even if you use a pager, it doesn’t matter.“
Although she uses an iPhone, she does not care at all about what smartphone her partner uses.
As singer Sung Si-kyung was asked by a junior female singer “Do you use Galaxy?” not long ago, fans thought Kim Chae-yeon might not view Galaxy positively either.
However, she does not reject Galaxy, and fans are responding positively to this.
Meanwhile, according to a recent survey on smartphone usage and brands conducted by Gallup Korea, among smartphone users in Korea, 65% of those in the 18~29 age group use iPhones.
The usage rate of Samsung Galaxy is around 32%.
