BOYNEXTDOOR were recently seen showing off their new iPhones, while at Incheon airport, for a flight to Madrid, Spain on Friday Ocotober 11, 2024. Quoting from Allkpop, not only did they greet fans by showing off their latest iPhones, several members were also seen wearing Apple Airpods Max products while at the airport, successfully displaying a stylish style among today's Gen Z.
However, this actually invited criticism from some netizens , because the members seemed to be deliberately showing off the Apple products they were wearing. Wonhak was seen taking out his iPhone to take a selca at the airport. Meanwhile, Jaehyun was seen holding up a cellphone with the Apple logo to show fans.
Not a few also said that BOYNEXTDOOR is announcing independence or freedom from advertising contracts with Samsung Galaxy products, so they are freer to show off the iPhones they are currently using. This invited negative comments from netizens, who considered BOYNEXTDOOR to be impolite.
Showing their preference for Apple products right after they officially finished their contract with a rival product (Samsung Galaxy) is considered rude and unethical. There are also those who call this attitude as ungrateful, because the advertising contracts they get are not entirely their own. But rather the benefits of being a group under the auspices of a large company.
Netizens also did not hesitate to mention how Samsung Galaxy treats BOYNEXTDOOR fans well. Like sending coffee and snack trucks in the past. Although the collaboration between the brand and their idols did not last long, netizens considered BOYNEXTDOOR's attitude this time as a group of idols who do not know how to return the favor.
" If I had a brand with a big name, I wouldn't hire these people as models, " said one netizen. " You can see their careless attitude," said another netizen. " It seems like they are forced to use Samsung Galaxy products during the promotion, but they have to do it for the money, " added another netizen. " I think they don't want to model for Samsung Galaxy anymore even if they have to," said another netizen.
