BLACKPINK is undoubtedly one of the most successful groups right now, and are currently ranked in the Top 3 of the richest K-Pop groups.
Part of this can be attributed to their endorsement deals with high-value brands including SAMSUNG.
Earlier this year, BLACKPINK made a special appearance at the SAMSUNG Galaxy event in Thailand.
BLACKPINK’s latest MV “Kill This Love” even had some special close-ups of SAMSUNG’s finest and latest products.
But this endorsement deal has encountered some conflicts in interest over the past few months.
Firstly, Jisoo couldn’t stop recording herself with iPhones from BLINKs at BLACKPINK’s LA concert, even though Jennie tried to stop her, given that Apple isn’t exactly SAMSUNG’s best friend.
Jennie was also caught about to take a selfie with a fan’s phone, only to stop herself when she realised it was an iPhone.
What none of the girls managed to pick up on is that FaceTime is exclusively an app on Apple products.
Given the extent that the members, especially Jennie, go to to protect their SAMSUNG endorsement deals, it is hilarious when they let it slip through that they actually do use iPhones.
What’s more, even Jennie isn’t completely faithful to the SAMSUNG endorsement deal!
Earlier this year, she FaceTimed Red Velvet’s Irene during a live broadcast, meaning that she also uses an iPhone!
Hopefully the execs at SAMSUNG let this one slide through.
This is really an article?! So when artists do ads for a brand are they expected to use that product and nothing else? Oh come on, be realistic. This is the pettiest thing I've ever read, you've really come for Blackpink for having iPhone's. They do their part for the money they get from Samsung, unless stated in their contracts they can't own any other brands it is their choice. Usually brand deals means you don't promote any other brands, not own them. I've seen some petty articles about BP but this is something else.
BTS have done plenty with LG and they use iPhone's. Are they going to get an article too? Please.
