…until one fan attempted to hand him her phone for him to take a selfie of them together. He politely declined. Son Heung Min still took the photo with her but on one condition. She had to hold her own phone to take the picture.

Yet, he happily took another fan’s phone to take a selfie with her. The reason is the phone difference!

Son Heung Min is under contract with Korean tech company Samsung. So, he shouldn’t be seen holding the competitor brand, Apple‘s iPhone.

Likewise, BTS‘s Suga, also an ambassador for Samsung, famously rejected ARMYs’ phones unless they were Samsung, telling them, “No iPhone! Only Galaxy!” We need Suga and Son Heung Min to collaborate on a commercial.

pls correct me if im wrong but i dont think this is one of samsungs slogans,,, i think theyve literally adopted yoongi's no iphone only galaxy into an actual marketing campaign sans mentioning the competitor pic.twitter.com/pseGrmEf3W
