The Korean superstars unveil their latest team-up with Samsung for the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 and Galaxy Note 20.
Samsung unpacked pop stars BTS for a cameo appearance at Wednesday's Galaxy Note 20 launch. Ahead of their forthcoming new single Dynamite this month, the Korean pop superstars played around with the new folding Galaxy Z Fold 2.
The hugely popular band will no doubt influence its army of fans to consider Samsung devices through the endorsement deal, even if the actual appearance at the online Samsung Unpacked event was disappointingly short. Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook briefly popped up in a prerecorded video, where they snapped some selfies and enjoyed the Z Fold 2's "mystic bronze" color.
