More Kpop recognition! Well not really. In fact, the CNN report was basically about the technology of the Korean phones which are SO amazing. I want a Korean phone so badly, so I can text in Korean with my other friends from Korea, but it’s too complicated. In my opinion, Korean phones can beat the iPhone. Korean phones have GREAT service, crazy and cute designs, interesting features and SK Telecom started to develop apps like Apple. It’s pretty crazy. Manufacturing phones is a serious business in Korea.
During the interview, the Korean guy tells the CNN reporter that marketing is a contributor to a phone’s popularity. Of course, they would choose the new group 2NE1 and Big Bang. Their Lollipop commercial was so good and catchy. I don’t think people cared about the phone. Instead they just loved the song and had the phrase “Lolli Lolli Lollipop” which influenced people to buy a Lollipop phone.
Even though there were no news on Big Bang and 2NE1, it’s still pretty cool that they were featured on a channel like CNN.
