A pricey Galaxy phone appears in the new film Spider-Man: Brand New Day (Spider-Man 4), drawing attention.
Recently released and surpassing 1 million viewers within two days, Spider-Man 4 shows protagonist Peter Parker (played by Tom Holland) using a Galaxy phone.
Forgotten in everyone's memory, Peter misses his girlfriend MJ (played by Zendaya Coleman), who enrolled at MIT, and his close friend Ned (played by Jacob Batalon) while checking their recent posts on social media. At that moment Peter's phone appears, a Galaxy Z Flip7 familiar to domestic audiences. Released last year, it is a relatively recent model, and its retail price easily exceeded 1.6 million won.
As a result, an online community post titled "How can poor Spider-Man be using a 1,660,000 won Galaxy Z Flip7 — a hot topic locally" attracted attention.
Unlike the silver-spoon hero Iron Man, Spider-Man in the original work comes from a poor household, works part-time delivering pizza, and is emphasized more as a "friendly, kind neighbor" than a flashy figure. The Spider-Man series starring Tom Holland also portrays the hero as representing the working class.
When a scene shows Spider-Man using an expensive phone, fans' reactions were witty. "He got scammed on the street, will return it in two years, got signed up for a 48-month add-on service, three sets, 119000 won plan with a six-month mandatory use," "Of course it must be secondhand," "Maybe a friend got subsidies and bought one 1+1 and gave him one," "Maybe he bought it because it's cheaper than an iPhone?", "He's an influencer so he got it sponsored," "Poor but still a New Yorker," "It might be possible if it's on installment" and other comments provoked laughter.
Thanks to the film's tremendous buzz, even a single prop in the work is drawing high interest.
Meanwhile, Spider-Man 4 surpassed 1 million viewers today (the 30th), its second day after release. It is by far the fastest among films released this year.
According to the integrated box office information system, Spider-Man 4 drew a cumulative audience of 1,000,1,040 as of 2:25 p.m. on the 30th, its second day after release. This pace matches the speed at which Avengers: Infinity War drew 1 million viewers on its second day after release, when it went on to attract a total of 11.23 million viewers and sparked an explosive phenomenon. It also matched the pace of The Roundup: Punishment, which set the milestone of three films surpassing 10 million, raising expectations for weekend results.
