Group Blackpink member Rosé and Apple's collaboration post drew a warm reaction from internet users after rival Samsung Electronics left a playful "infiltration comment."
On the 9th, Rosé posted a mirror selfie holding the latest model, the iPhone 18 Pro, on her personal Instagram and on Apple's official Instagram. As part of a global collaboration campaign between Apple and the new song "New Trick," set to be released on the 18th, the post included the phrase iPhone, new trick, watch this. The "New Trick" music video was filmed entirely with that device.
This special encounter grew even more attention on the 12th when an unexpected "figure" appeared: Samsung Electronics' official Canada Instagram account directly left a witty comment on Rosé's post.
Samsung's official Canada account appeared with a witty comment saying, "If you really needed a phone, you should have told us," heating up online discussion. By playfully teasing Rosé, who posed holding Apple's new product, Samsung offered good-natured rivalry and a witty joke that brought a fresh kind of fun.
Rosé and Samsung Electronics have a past connection. Blackpink served as official ambassadors for Samsung Electronics' Galaxy A series through the "A Galaxy event" held in Bangkok, Thailand, in 2019, participating in global promotions for models such as the Galaxy A70 and A80.
When Rosé, who had previously been an ambassador, appeared as the main model for a rival, Samsung's quick-witted reply did not go unnoticed, and global fans responded enthusiastically, calling it a "senseful meme between brands" and saying "Samsung's comment made the iPhone and Rosé collaboration even more talked about."
Meanwhile, Rosé is scheduled to release the new song "New Trick" on the 18th and meet fans around the world.
