The Return of FIFTY FIFTY with Galaxy Z Flip
Recently, FIFTY FIFTY returned with a new lineup and were spotted using Samsung Galaxy Z Flip phones, drawing attention. The first members to share photos were Hani and Athena, posing with their Galaxy Z Flip phones while taking selfies. This trend continued as Keena, Chanelle, and Yewon also revealed their Z Flip phones. It became clear that the entire group of FIFTY FIFTY was using Galaxy Z Flip devices.
Not Official Models but Loyal Fans
What is intriguing is that FIFTY FIFTY members are not official ambassadors for Galaxy. The likelihood of each member purchasing a Galaxy Z Flip individually seems low. Therefore, it is speculated that they collectively decided to buy the phones after discussions. This raised the possibility that Jeon Hongjun, the CEO of ATTRAKT, might be showing his gratitude toward Galaxy for its help during a challenging time.
Jeon Hongjun and the Galaxy Call Recording Feature
Jeon Hongjun had previously released recorded calls with The Givers’ CEO, Ahn Sung-il, and Warner Music Korea representatives. The calls, which highlighted issues around copyright for FIFTY FIFTY’s hit song “Cupid” and contract disputes, helped him navigate through legal difficulties. The automatic call recording feature of the Galaxy phone played a crucial role in this turnaround.
Galaxy’s Rising Popularity
After the release of the recordings in July last year, public perception shifted. One phone retailer even displayed a slogan, “Galaxy: A Marketing Essential.” Following the incident, Jeon Hongjun changed his social media username from ‘oscarentceo’ to ‘galaxy_s23’, referring to a Samsung phone model, further emphasizing his connection to Galaxy.
Fans Applaud FIFTY FIFTY’s Use of Galaxy Phones
When this news spread to the Korean community MLBPARK, FIFTY FIFTY members were praised for their thoughtful choice. Fans commented that since Jeon Hongjun was saved by Galaxy, it was only fitting that the group used the phones. Despite this, Jeon mentioned in interviews that he never asked the members to use Galaxy. Still, their voluntary use of the phones has been admired by fans. Many now hope to see FIFTY FIFTY officially become Galaxy models, with fans even joking that Galaxy has become a sacred part of the group’s origin story.

Can’t believe Jeon Hongjun had audio recordings all along! No wonder he won the case. It’s time for people still supporting the former members to wake up and see the truth.
